In today’s Guardian disabled people say how today’s Budget announcements could be the ‘last straw’ for many who fear heavy impact from tighter assessments and benefit cuts.
In the article Liz Sayce, chief executive of Disability Rights UK, said:
“It’s a false economy to make cuts in the very areas that enable people to get their lives on track. We profoundly believe that disabled people have got so much to contribute to British society. But with the cuts to benefits, social care cuts and now the tighter regulation to PIP, we are really concerned it will jeopardise independent living for disabled people, leaving them socially isolated.”
