• Don't cut vital support for disabled people in Orkney and Shetland
    George Osborne has announced plans to take £70 a week away from thousands of people with disabilities, by cutting Personal Independence Payments (PIP). For many of us, this will mean losing the crucial support which enables us to get out of the house. Many people in our area would be hit hard by this cut. 'QUALITY OF LIFE' for disabled people is why, the change-over from DLA TO PIP, should not be just another way of the government being able to change the amount of money given to disabled people. To take from the poor to give to the rich, once again, history repeating its self. I personally wouldn't be able to afford the two nights out a month to the theatre or just to meet friends, because of the £70 pounds a week taken from my disability. The future looks bleak from where I'm sitting. This petition calls on our local MP to do all they can to stop this cruel and unfair plan. Please, show your support for local people with disabilities and help stop the cuts to PIP.

  • Don't cut vital support for disabled people in Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale & Tweeddale
    The Chancellor has announced plans to take £70 a week away from thousands of disabled people by cutting Personal Independence Payments (PIP). For many of us, this will mean losing the crucial support which enables us to get out of the house. I have provided support to disabled people for over 20 years to obtain DLA and now PIP but I have never experienced such a reaction as I have lately with the continuous attack on their health and well-being. I have seen many disabled people and also their families in tears about the results of the changeover from DLA to PIP and others who are extremely worried about what will happen when their turn arrives. Last year Motability estimated that at least 350,000 people will lose their access to a vehicle, which in most cases is their only method of engaging with others. Now we have this latest attack and I know that many people in our area will be hit extremely hard by this cut - in most cases, removing their independence altogether. I know that to some people this may sound overly-dramatic but I can assure you that this is the unfortunate reality for hundreds of thousands of disabled people in the UK today. This petition calls on our local MP to do all they can to stop this cruel and unfair plan. Please, show your support for disabled people and help stop the cuts to PIP.

  • Please consider the basic daily needs of disabled people in City of Durham
    George Osborne has announced plans to take £70 a week away from thousands of people with disabilities, by cutting Personal Independence Payments (PIP). For many of us, this will mean losing the crucial support which enables us to get out of the house. Many people in my situation would be hit hard by this cut. People who would much rather be at their old jobs and careers but who can't be because of the onslaught of an injury or disability which has left them completely out of control of their own destiny and reliant on anything the government will give them. My peers are all moving up the pay scale ladder and I can't join them because I can't earn a salary. This petition calls on you Roberta to do all you can to stop this cruel and unfair plan to cut what little we get. A humane and caring society would celebrate the help it gave to those crippled by illness during their working lives. Please, show your support for Durham people with disabilities and stop these proposed cuts to PIP and DLA. Or tell me why you think it is reasonable to do so. I vote for you.
