Disability rights advocates and welfare campaigners have reacted with horror to 'divisive' government plans that could see Personal Independence Payments (PIP) stopped for more than three million people who need extra help in their day-to-day lives.
Disability rights advocates and welfare campaigners have reacted with horror to "divisive" government plans that could see Personal Independence Payments stopped for more than three million people who need extra help in their day-to-day lives.
The government announced its crackdown amid a sharp rise in PIP claims following the pandemic, with around a quarter of the UK population now living with some form of disability. Because of this, Rishi Sunak's focus in his speech on mentally ill PIP claimants has left some worried that their payments could stop, but Martin Lewis pointed out the political context that means it is likely just a lot of "hot air".
The Conservative government is currently trailing the opposition Labour Party, in an average of all polls, by at least 20 per cent - and the Money Saving Expert explained why this is an important context for the supposed crackdown on benefits. "So if you're worried about it, while I know its easy to say and hard to do, forget it - for now it is still political hot air."
