Thousands Women with disabilities Could find myself stuck Drug addict As a result of the government Upcoming welfare cuts, The campaigners have warned, despite this Sir Keir Star on Thursday gave important concessions on late reforms.
In front of the growing rebellion, Prime Minister announced Adjustment in their welfare billProtecting personal freedom payment (PIP) for all existing contenders – a step that is expected to ensure that the law passes its second reading on Tuesday.
But Domestic violence charity refuge And the Women’s Budget Group (WBG) has issued a warning on reforms, stating that in the long term, cuts significant funding for daily life costs for people with disabilities – which will affect all new contenders – it will be difficult for those to remove abusive relationships.
Even with concessions, welfare deductions will be “disastrous for women with disabilities”, WBG said, given that the possibility of domestic misconduct is doubled for women with disabilities.
For many people, PIP is the only income they receive, they have warned, so not having access to this source of personal support makes the risk of tremendous control and makes it difficult to avoid derogatory situations.
As a result, asylum argues that Sir Kir will struggle to reach its goal of reducing violence against women and girls.
A scary report jointly published by women budget groups and sisters argues that cuts will increase their vulnerability for women disabled “economic insecurity, violence and misconduct, push them out of labor market, and make parenting difficult”.
His analysis – seen by Independent – It shows that women who are future contenders will be inconsistently affected by strict eligibility rules for PIPs.
Currently, 52 percent of female PIP claimants do not score 4 points in any one activity compared to 39 percent of male claimants. This is likely to be due to musculoskeletal conditions and high proliferation of arthritis among women, the condition that is less likely to score 4 points in an indicator.
Although current contenders will be preserved, it indicates a broad penis imbalance that will affect women more than long -term cuts.
The government estimates that under the current rules, around 1,000 new people are signing PIPs every day.
WGB Deputy Director Dr. Sarah Reece warned that it would make women more sensitive to abuse, while refuge states that cuts would “disastrous effects on people with disabilities”.
Sharan CEO Jemma Cherrington told Independent The cuts offer “the disabled survivors really terrible possibilities”, warning that they will severely reduce the government’s commitment to halch the violence against women and girls “.
He said, “In the shelter, about three (29 percent) of the surviving people we supported is a disability or mental health status. For PIP contenders, this support is important to cover the cost of being required – and it can mean the difference between escape for safety or the remaining with an abusive partner”, he said.
“Thousands of people can get stuck with addicts – and it can have fatal consequences by prohibiting the financial resources of the disabled people further.
“If the government is serious about dealing with VAWG, it cannot ignore the remaining people.
Dr. Reece said: “The proposed changes will be disastrous for disabled women, cutting income that provide freedom to many of them.
“The government already knows that it will push more people into poverty, but it should also be known that these changes will make disabled women more vulnerable to misbehave, make them difficult for parents, and will make them out of jobs.
“We are happy to see the government to reconsider reforms and consult on changes in PIP – people with disabilities should be at the center of design any change in disability gain system.
“However, as corrections arise, they will bring more and more people into poverty as new contenders will not have access to the same support as now.”
Responding to the report, Labor MP Rachel Maskal – who plans to vote against the bill on Tuesday – said that she feels “sick for stomach” that the minister would proceed with reforms in the light of WBG’s report.
He told Independent: “These deductions are penis and dangerous, and also blows a hole through the government’s VAWG work. Surely this evidence will make the government realize that they have overched and the bill should be withdrawn.
“I feel ill for the stomach that they will proceed after this evidence from asylum and women’s budget group. We already know that older women forced to work in life experience later, and now this evidence highlights it.”
This comes when the Joseph Ronantry Foundation urged the MPs to oppose welfare reforms, even with concessions, warned that “the new disabled contenders from next year would be pushed into deep difficulty with these cuts”.
Meanwhile, Amnesty said the concessions “are nothing more than a superficial attempt to get MPs to vote through this cruel and harmful piece of law”, warning that it would “deepen poverty, increase discrimination, and build a two-level welfare system that cannot be justified under any circumstances.”
Some 126 labor backbenchers signed an amendment, which would prevent Universal Credit and Personal Freedom Payment Bills in their tracks to face their first Commons Hurdle on 1 July. The rebels believe that the concessions on the proposal will now be sufficient to win over the majority.
The original package of the government had banned eligibility for PIP, the main disability payment in England, and cut the health related element of universal credit, saying it would save about 5 billion pounds per year by 2030.
Now, PIP eligibility changes will be implemented in November 2026 and will only be applicable to new contenders, while all existing recipients of the health element of universal credit will realize their income.
Work and Pension Secretary Liz Kendal confirmed the U-turn in a letter to MPs late on Thursday night, as well as a plan to review PIP evaluation under the leadership of people with disabilities and “co-made” with people with disabilities.
A 10 spokesperson said that the current welfare system is “thwarting people”, arguing that it “implicates millions, tells them the only way to help them to declare that they will never work again – and then leave them.”
“No help, no opportunity, no dignity. We cannot accept it and need to fix it”, he said.
The spokesperson said: “The government has listened to the MPs who support the principle of reform, but are concerned about the pace of change for those already supported by the social security system.”
