Personal Independence Payments: A Cut too Far
Under Labour’s plans, from November 2026 people on PIP will be required to score a minimum of four points in at least one daily living activity to receive support with everyday tasks such as washing and cooking. Those scoring less will lose access to the daily living component, which for some will result in a full withdrawal of the benefit. These cuts are unjustifiable and risked causing untold misery for some of our city’s most vulnerable people. It’s time for Stephen Morgan and Amanda Martin to stop burying their heads in the sand any longer and immediately press the Government to change course.
