It's vital that the £15.8B of unpaid care & the loss of income welfare reform proposals risk are fully considered. Care will not stop & the impact on carers, the majority of whom are women will be significant. Thanks @maggiechapman.bsky.social for highlighting in debate

This is the #DWP #GreenPaper. A lot to unpack. Removing reassessment from permanent conditions welcome. But no recognition of fluctuating conditions in the new PIP assessmentdue to replace the WCA. High risk that people newly disabled incl. by #LongCovid won't get support.

Government's Disability Benefit Reforms Are a Smokescreen
The government has dismissed a petition for fairer disability policy with a smokescreen of empty promises of fake "reform".

Having skimmed the Green Paper, its proposals represent systemic cruelty. A small instance - the move back from remote to in person PIP assessments will
1)cost more money
2)be hazardous to those who are immunocompromised, in a pandemic that isn’t over
Disgusting.

#GreenPaper This is NOT just about adjusting ‘benefits’ to permit people to get into work. This is just the cover story for a huge raid on social security (which we have paid for out of our National Insurance and taxes). The beneficiary? The arms industry. Shame!
