Proposal to Replace PIP with ACDP Gains Momentum

At DisabledEntrepreneur.uk, we support the ACDP approach because it is designed by disabled people, for disabled people, and recognises the full reality of daily barriers. We reject any system that forces claimants to “prove” their disability-related costs with receipts or spending controls, as this strips people of dignity and human rights. Disabled people know best how to manage their own lives and finances; what they need is trust, fair support, and recognition of the extra costs they face, not surveillance.

The Human Right to Dignity

Reducing welfare payments in the name of fiscal savings directly undermines human rights protections meant to ensure dignity, equality, and security for all. When economic decisions neglect the real-world consequences for the most vulnerable, they risk violating the Human Rights Act, the Equality Act, and international human rights standards. Rather than shrinking support, the government should focus on policies that uplift all members of society and reinforce fundamental rights.

Independent Disability Advisory Panel Controversy

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has appointed disability rights expert Zara Todd to chair the new Independent Disability Advisory Panel. The panel is billed as a way to “listen to, learn from, and collaborate with” Deaf and disabled people and people with long-term health conditions. It will include up to 10 members and advise across health and disability policy.
