Don't cut sickness benefit

Don't cut Employment Support Allowance by £30 a week. Government plans to cut this sickness benefit are inhumane.

Why is this important?

As someone who has already suffered by government cuts to sickness benefit, I know this cut will make life even more difficult for people living with disabilities.

My wife and I both live with disabilities and can't work. But both of our sickness benefits have been stopped and we have to survive off of our savings.

I have worked all my life, they do not care. £30 a week is a huge amount to cut, and another example of the government treating disabled people as second class citizens.
