🚨BREAKING: Almost 1 in 5 people claiming Universal Credit and disability benefits have used a food bank in the last month. Hunger and hardship are already at record levels, and social security cuts risk pushing even more people to food banks.

Disabled people are already THREE times more likely to need to use food banks. MPs must vote NO to cuts to disabled people’s social security tomorrow.

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

This bill should never have come before MPs. It’s been chaotic, upsetting and stressful. But we applaud the power of disabled people, MPs, and people like you, who’ve worked tirelessly to stand up for the future of disabled people.

❌But big cuts to Universal Credit still stand. 3/4 of people claiming Universal Credit and disability benefits have already gone without essentials the last 6 months. We’re calling on MPs to ensure disabled people are protected from hardship in their final vote on 9 July.

Updates will protect hundreds of thousands of disabled people from being forced into severe hardship. The government has said that any future changes to PIP will only happen after a review with disabled people, which will be published in Autumn 2026.

Deep cuts to Universal Credit still stand, and when MPs look at the amended Bill, they must ensure disabled people are protected from severe hardship ahead of their final vote next week. More than three quarters of people claiming Universal Credit and disability benefits have.
