‼️ The scale of remaining cuts will still be devastating and risk pushing more disabled people to food banks in Scotland and across the UK. These cuts must NOT go ahead. Ask your MP to vote against the cuts next week. ⤵️ .

It’s already the case that 75% of people referred to @TrussellScot food banks are in a disabled household. If the cuts go ahead, many more will be forced into severe hardship. MP’s must reject these cuts.
âť— Today, MPs will vote on whether to make record cuts to disabled people's social security. The scale of the remaining cuts will be devastating and risk pushing more disabled people to food banks. MPs must vote NO to disability cuts.

If MPs vote to go ahead with cuts to disability benefits today, this will have a devastating impact on so many people supported by health, disability and anti-poverty charities in Scotland and UK wide. Disabled people need more support not less. Read our joint statement 👇

It’s wrong for the UK Government to balance the books on the backs of sick and disabled people. We need Scottish MPs to stand up for justice and compassion now. #WeDemandBetter.

The changes the UK govt has announced will help protect some disabled people - but if we agree disabled people need support now, we must make sure it’s there for disabled people who need it in the future. Ask your MP to vote against these cuts. 👇. 📧
