The Work and Pensions select committee is examining proposed changes to Disability Living Allowance, and its rebranding as PIP and associated cuts.
With Mumsnet's permission, I've submitted a collection of your personal DLA testimonies to the committee, taken from the threads
Stop the Abolition of DLA,
So now we've got headlines about disabilities lets talk about DLA and
So, DLA cuts. Why you should care and what you need to say to your MP?,
all testimonies given under nicknames, obviously.
They seem open to hear us, so if any more of you would like to submit testimonies about what DLA means to you and your family, please do so. If I understand correctly, they are particularly interested in what it is used for, what would happen if people didn't get it i.e. removal of passported benefits, carers allowance, income support etc
You can post on this thread and I will, with MN's permission, submit these and/or direct the select committee here.
Or you can write directly to:
the Chair, Dame Anne Begg MP, [email protected] (address as Dame Anne Begg)
cc the Clerk, [email protected]
WCA
The select committee is also interested in the migration of people from Incapacity Benefit to Employment and Support Allowance and whether the Work Capability Assessment is fit for purpose. I'll start a separate thread for WCA testimonies (but it's not an official MN campaign so not in this section): watch this space for a link.
