PROTECT PERSONAL INDEPENDENCE PAYMENTS

Oppose the planned cuts to Personal Independence Payments.

Why is this important?

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. 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.

Why is this important?

There are a number of vulnerable people within your constituency who depend on the Disabled Living Allowance/PIP, often their family fill the position of carer placing limited or zero demands on Social Services. They budget their money carefully in the main travelling independently to Doctors & Hospital appointments avoiding the need to use ambulances etc...Independence in respect of many aspects of life will be taken away if these cuts go ahead!
