SEVERE CONDITION CRITERIA

The Green Paper is diminished, but please lobby against the ‘severe condition criteria’—a dangerous, discriminatory UC change that will push new claimants into financial + psychological precarity.

Video cuts off due to Bluesky length but ends: please lobby!

Screenshot of ipaper report analysing the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) customer support standards, obtained via Freedom of Information request. The report, titled “DWP identifies dozens of failures in handling of self-harm and suicidal claimants,” highlights that DWP staff repeatedly failed to meet new customer support standards designed to protect vulnerable claimants. It details that in a sample of thousands of claims, staff followed correct procedures only 62% of the time, missing key steps such as providing reasonable adjustments and following escalation protocols for claimants at risk of self-harm or suicide. The report emphasises that these failures put disabled people at serious risk, with many incidents linked to preventable harm and deaths.

🚨The UN has written to the government about disability cuts in the UC and PIP Bill 🚨

It says it "has received credible information" indicating that the Bill will "deepen the signs of regression" on disabled people's rights in the UK.

The Bill must not proceed.
