PIP 4-point rule impact:

• 440k (33%) expected to lose benefits
• 860k expected to keep them via worsened conditions/appeals

What’s LCWRA?
It’s a part of Universal Credit for people who are medically assessed as unable to work.
Labour plans to:
– Cut support by 50% for new claimants
– Reassess existing ones
That means more fear, more poverty, more harm.
This one is going to court. We won’t allow it.
