Stop attacks on Disabled People – Tax the rich
The Labour government has launched a vicious attack on people with disabilities, proposing billions of pounds in cuts to welfare benefits.
- Up to 1.2 million people could lose £4,200 to £6,300 a year in Personal Independence Payments (PIP).
- If you lose PIP you could also lose Carers Allowance.
- Others could lose the health element of Universal Credit.
- Disabled people under 22 expected to live on £70 a week.
- At least 250,000, probably more, will be forced into poverty.
- Defend our NHS and Welfare State. Tax the rich to pay for them.
These cuts are unnecessary and unjustifiable, and we are building a united local campaign to oppose them.
