...Attacking PIP is a further attack on independent living, disability rights and existence. The amount of money we are expected to survive on - and if not able to work, make do with no options to get additional money (or rely on things like family, which has a range of problems with it. Obviously mutual aid a big help here for many) and if can work, face additional barriers to employment e.g. lower pay - is at a disgustingly low level already. This strengthening of attack against Disabled people, timed for the UK local and general elections, is sadly predictable and incredibly dangerous. We will fight back, together; for instance Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC) has committed to direct action as part of this. Fuck this system of power and divide and rule. Solidarity to all people affected by this, you're not alone. As Disabled people have always done throughout history, we'll fight back against this bile and hatred, together. Everything for everyone. We keep us safe.
