Stop the £6bn welfare cuts and protect vital support for disabled people.

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

We urge the Government to stop the £6bn welfare cuts, protect essential support for disabled people. Changes will push many into poverty, worsen health & reduce independence. We call for a fair welfare system that upholds dignity, ensuring those in need receive proper financial & social support.

The £6bn welfare cuts will severely impact disabled people, stripping away essential financial support and services that enable them to live independently. Many will face increased poverty, declining health, and greater barriers to employment. This policy risks deepening inequality and social hardship. We urge the Government to protect disabled individuals by maintaining vital benefits and ensuring a fair, compassionate welfare system that upholds dignity and human rights.
