We showed Larry the Downing Street cat our petition yesterday 📦 He gave it a sniff, a stare, and (we think) his full support 🐱 101,025 people told the government the cost of cuts is catastrophic - no pun intended.

Disability benefits are a lifeline. And cutting them won't help disabled people into work, or with the extra costs they face. It's nonsense. This week, our Strategy Director, James, told the government's Work and Pensions Committee just that 💬

The government is still making devastating cuts to Universal Credit (UC)✂️ UC is a lifeline for disabled people who face huge extra costs but aren't able to work. 📢 The government must withdraw the bill. And co-produce all disability benefit reforms with disabled people.

You may have seen rumours about the future of the Motability scheme. So far, the government has not confirmed any changes. But let's be clear. Life already costs more when you're disabled. Making Motability harder to access or afford will rob freedom from disabled people ❌
