US EditionCalls to fund Winter Fuel Payments by cutting MPs' expenses
- A petition started by Charlie Anderson has gathered over 53,000 signatures opposing planned PIP reforms set for November 2026 in the UK.
- The reforms require scoring at least four points in one daily living activity for the PIP daily living component, significantly changing assessment criteria.
- PIP supports more than 3.6 million people with long-term conditions across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland who rely on payments up to £73.90 weekly for daily living.
- Charlie Anderson says the new rule threatens a vital lifeline after a degrading process and stresses, "They/we depend on this support," highlighting the reforms' impact.
- The petition urges the Government to reconsider changes to prevent harm to vulnerable claimants and protect their dignity through continued support.
