The Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill (the welfare cuts bill) will have it's third reading on Wednesday. Here's how you can join the fight against the cuts. #BinUCBill #ProtectFutureClaimants https://www.merseysidedpac.info/disabled-people-say-no-to-welfare-cuts/ Recent changes. After outrage, protests and lobbying by disabled people and allies, the Labour government has retreated on some of its proposed cuts. This includes backing down on the “4 point rule” for Personal Independence Payment (PIP). However, the bill still passed its second reading. The third and final vote is on Wednesday the 9th of July 2025 in the Commons. The bill as it stands. 1. Cuts disability support in Universal Credit. First time UC claimants will get £200 a month less than they do now 2. Introduces a new severe conditions criteria meaning many thousands of people who cannot work and claim in future will have to live on half the additional payment 3) Increases the sanctions and conditionality to almost all UC claimants creating a benefits system that will feel anything but supportive What you can do. The government has already been forced into major concessions in its crusade against disabled people, we can defeat these attacks too. You can add pressure by contacting your MP and asking them to vote no on the third reading of the bill on Wednesday, Disability Rights UK has also identified amendments to the bill which MPs might support to protect disabled people.

Merseyside Disabled People Against Cuts and @mdpac.bsky.social have co-written a statement on the EHRC. You can read the full statement on our website www.merseysidedpac.info/statement-on...
Purple and white gradient background with text. "Statement on the Pathways to Work Green Paper and the EHRC The sustained attacks on disabled people by consecutive governments have been condemned by the United Nations since 2017, when they said that “there is reliable evidence that the threshold of grave or systematic violations of the rights of persons with disabilities has been crossed” by the UK. We believe that the EHRC throws ALL marginalised people under the bus, and especially those of us who are multiply marginalised. It is abundantly clear that the ideological commitments of the EHRC as an institution are too closely aligned with the interests of government and of reactionaries that oppose human rights. They are not our allies, and calling on them for protection could harm us further." Merseyside DPAC logo in bottom left corner
