As you will be aware the UK Government is proposing to cut the disability benefits bill by £3 billion. This might result in you losing benefits. It will definitely result in hundreds of thousands of disabled people getting less money and all of us being placed in further anxiety of when the axe might fall on ourselves.

Dear ———— ,
I have learnt through media reports that the Government is planning to cut
disability benefits, including the Universal Credit Health related component
and PIP, by £3 billion.
These cuts may, or may not, directly affect myself and my
family. What I do know is that these proposals are causing me huge anxiety
and are likely to continue to do so for many years to come because the threat
that I will at some point lose my own benefits is not going to go away.
such as food, energy and clothing. (Optional additions: I/We are already in
debt to our energy supplier/supermarket, behind with our Council Tax, etc.).
my benefits we will simply not be able to survive.
I want you to know that talk of “supporting” myself and other ill and disabled
people into work by taking away our benefits is nonsense. The loss of our
benefits will increase the barriers we already face in securing employment and
not reduce them.
to an adequate income and right to life. I have no doubt that many disabled
people’s mental and physical health will deteriorate if these cuts go ahead.
Some will die and others will take their own lives. Can I and other disabled
people count on your support in opposing these horrendous cuts?
