    This seems worrying. In recent history it was the nazis who thought disabled people were expendable, the UK shouldn’t go down that same route.

      The UK has always demonised the disabled and most in need. You have to remember that the UK is a platform for tax havens. It’s capitalism’s baby.

    I’m disabled and have PIP. There’s a common belief on most groups that deal with it that your first application is always denied, and it’s supposedly to discourage people from appealing and getting the money.

    With the number of people I’ve spoken to who are clearly eligible, but have only had PIP granted after an appeal, I can believe it.
