Ask your MP to vote down the benefit cuts

Ask your MP to vote down the benefit cuts

The UK government has brought a Bill to parliament that would make billions of pounds worth of devastating cuts to our social security system. But your MP has the power to stop this. Will you email them and ask them to vote against benefit cuts for disabled people?

If the proposals go ahead, they would have a huge impact on people with mental health problems, making people poorer and more unwell. We’ve put together a simple email template that you can view and edit on the next page.

The government is planning to make it harder to access Personal Independence Payment (PIP). This payment helps people cover the extra costs of living with a long-term health condition or disability. But in the future, the government wants people to score at least 4 points in one activity to be able to receive PIP – making it harder to receive.

They’re also planning to reduce the payments people would receive through the health-related element of Universal Credit (UC) in the future. If you’re already receiving this, you’ll keep getting it at the current rate, but the payments won’t grow with inflation. And for people newly claiming from April 2026, the amount will be halved. Overall, this means people who are too unwell to work will get less financial support.
