We have today published new research with the University of Bristol which demonstrates the extent to which stigma has been embedded into the design of our social security system: bit.ly/47XWX5e

Our social security system is a vital public service, that helps us stay afloat when life changes. But right now, people are being treated with suspicion and contempt when they try to access support.

Along with the anti-poverty charity, @Z2K_trust, we’ve led on an open letter to the Minister for Social Security and Disability, Sir Stephen Timms. 16 other charities have joined us to ask him to take some key steps to make sure that involvement is genuine.

Yesterday, MPs voted to reduce support for people unable to work by over £200 a month. From April 2026 the health element of Universal Credit will be halved for anyone who becomes sick. This will mean even more people are going without essentials. It makes no sense.

This is so disappointing- our social security system should be there for all of us when we need it.  But thanks to you speaking up, we protected vital support for disabled people. We showed the government they must listen. And we can do it again.

The pressure you have been putting on your MPs has been vital, showing them how important it is that they work with claimants to create a social security system that is there for all of us when we need it.  Thank you.

Tomorrow MPs will vote again on plans to cut over £200 a month from people too ill to work. Like our NHS, our social security system should be there for all of us when we need it. Now is your last chance to ask your MP to stop the cuts:act.turn2us.org.uk/page/1739…

As a society supporting Disabled people to live independently AND protecting people who are too sick to work is the right thing to do. The government still has a chance to show they are committed to doing that. Ask your MP to stop cuts to Universal Credit:bit.ly/4lBfA27

Together, we will keep making our voices heard. The pressure you have been putting on your MPs so far has been vital, showing them how important it is that they work with claimants to create a social security system that is there for all of us when we need it.  Thank you🧡

As a society, protecting people who are too sick to work and supporting disabled people to live independently is the right thing to do. Whatever the result of the vote this evening, these changes will not come into effect immediately and will not impact everyone.

Today MPs will vote on a new law which if passed will cut vital support for sick and disabled people. Even with the concessions the gov has made, huge cuts are still on the table for new claimants, who will receive less support to meet the same needs.

This two-tier system is clearly unfair. As a society, protecting people, and enabling them to live independently is the right thing to do, now and in the future.

We know that life costs more for disabled people. And @scope's 2025 Disability Price Tag report shows that the costs are spiralling. Read the full Price Tag report on Scope’s website: scope.org.uk/campaigns/disab…

Disabled households would need an extra £1,095 per month just to have the same standard of living as non-disabled households. And this will rocket to £1,224 per month by 2030.

You may have seen that the government has made some changes to their health and disability benefits cuts...

- Cuts to PIP will only apply to new claims from November 2026 - Existing recipients of the UC health element - and any new claimants that meet specific ‘severe conditions’ criteria – will have their incomes fully protected in real terms

More than 100 Labour MPs are trying to stop a law needed to introduce cuts to health and disability benefits in its tracks. As a society, protecting people who are too sick to work and supporting Disabled people to live independently is the right thing to do.

Cuts to vital support will only push more families into poverty and make it harder for people to live independently, find work and look after their wellbeing.

Our social security system should be here for all of us when we need it. But legislation to cut vital support for sick and disabled people has just been read in parliament. Ask your MP to join the growing number saying no to cuts, before it’s too late: act.turn2us.org.uk/page/1723…

The tide is turning. At least 54 MPs are set to oppose the cuts to disability benefits. As a society, protecting people who are too sick to work and supporting Disabled people to live independently is the right thing to do. Ask your MP to oppose the cuts:act.turn2us.org.uk/page/1723…

Short-sighted cuts to PIP and Universal Credit are not the answer. Analysis from the @jrf_uk shows that 400,000 more people are likely to be pulled into poverty if the cuts go ahead. Ask your MP to urge the Prime Minister to reconsider: win.newmode.net/turn2us/camp…
