Would you have thought that before putting out a Green Paper proposing massive changes to #PIP eligibility rules, #Labour would have consulted the key stakeholders? Organisations and charities supporting the #disabled. Especially as these so called #WelfareReforms were not in their 2024 manifesto?

Well you would be wrong. My friend has just received this FOI request back from the DWP…

The impact statement of #Reeves' #welfarereforms will be published tomorrow

It may be brutal
