Maths by the DWP

They want you to think that 2+2 doesn’t = 4

Amongst other great ideas, the DWP think that they can remove 87% of people from the Daily Living Component of PIP. They are planning to do this by telling us that it doesn’t matter if you score two points in multiple categories that add up to the threshold required. No, if you can’t score at least 4 points in one category, you’re not going to qualify.

This is a terrible idea. Needing help in multiple categories should demonstrate that help is certainly needed but not if this government has its way.

Including Disability Wales and DPAC Swansea

This is still to be made legal so don’t panic just yet. Get informed and take action quickly.

Now is the time to contact your MP, your local DPAC or other campaigning group, get involved in any consultation or focus group you can find. Find resources for this here.

Come along to Cwrdd on 06/05 and find out what you can do to make your voice heard so that this doesn’t send millions of us into poverty. Register here.
