Beyond financial hardship, the proposed PIP reforms will have severe repercussions on the mental health of disabled individuals. Losing financial support will create significant emotional distress, leading to heightened anxiety, depression, and a sense of hopelessness.
One of the most significant contributors to declining mental health is trauma. Trauma can take many forms, and its impact can be long-lasting and devastating.
Moving affects disability identity in unexpected ways. A new city can make you feel “more” or “less” disabled based on accessibility.
With 80 MPs preparing to revolt, the government must reconsider its approach before history repeats itself. If these policies are implemented, the consequences could be irreversible—not just for disabled claimants, but for the moral integrity of the nation.

Critics argue that the process is excessively intrusive, often disregarding medical evidence and placing undue pressure on those already struggling with long-term health conditions.
Disabled individuals should not have to justify their conditions or prove their limitations to those who refuse to understand. The assumption that disability can be ‘cured’ through sheer effort is not only ignorant but also harmful. Instead of placing the burden on disabled individuals to ‘fix’ themselves, society should focus on breaking down barriers, promoting accessibility, and ensuring that those with disabilities are supported, respected, and valued.
