PIP exists because life costs more if you are disabled. Those costs won’t magically disappear because the government decides to squeeze eligibility - disabled people already face a disproportionately high risk of poverty. This plan will push even more disabled people into
🚨Plans to cut benefits for those with extreme disabilities and unfit to work will be CATASTROPHIC for some of the poorest & most vulnerable people in our society Balancing the books cannot come at the expense of those who can least afford it NOW IS THE TIME TO SPEAK OUT

The government says compensating #WASPI would not be a good use of tax payers money, yet it would cost a small fraction of what they will have saved by raising #1950swomen #StatePension age. Please repost and donate to our fundraising appeal. Thank you. https://t.co/1bZWrmt8Kv

Fantastic cross party support from Labour and Conservative MPs in Westminster Hall debate today. #WASPI women came from all over the country and there was support from the Lib Dems, SNP and DUP as well.

An investigation by the @PHSOmbudsman found maladministration and recommended compensation. @Keir_Starmer is misleading the public with his '90% of '50s women knew'. He is presenting the information dishonestly and the media are parroting this falsehood. https://t.co/wvLXeqQP9u

What many younger people do not appreciate is that #waspi women born in the 50s are of a generation where private pensions were not a "thing", unless they were lucky enough to be in the minority with an occupational pension. They were given little or no warning that the 1/

If you’re a @WASPI_Campaign woman and you receive a letter like this in response to an email you can send to your local Labour MP/MSP, please remind them you have seen this template before. Remind them to stand up for #WASPI and not for Downing Street dictat from @UKLabour
It appears Labour MPs have been given a template letter to defend the Waspi decision to constituents

Thanks Neil. Your support is really appreciated by #Waspi women like me. I hope all the Labour MPs like you persuade the PM & DWP Secretary to change their minds, especially as they publicly backed our campaign for justice & compensation & never said they stopped supporting us.
The government’s refusal to compensate WASPI women for the unfair changes to their state pension age is deeply disappointing and a failure to address the hardship caused. These women deserve justice and fairness. Read my article for Labour Outlook here 👇 https://t.co/4wQGkB6aVu
