Subject: Urgent: Protect Disability Benefits from Harmful Cuts
Dear [MP's Name],
I am writing to express deep concern about the UK government’s proposed reforms to disability benefits, particularly changes to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Universal Credit that could severely harm people with mental health conditions, neurodivergence, or invisible disabilities.
These reforms risk pushing already vulnerable individuals further into poverty, stripping away vital lifelines, and worsening the carer and mental health crises this country is already facing.
I urge you to:
- Oppose any legislation that reduces access to disability-related benefits.
- Support transparency in the benefit assessment process, especially for non-visible conditions.
- Back initiatives that provide carers and disabled people with the financial, emotional, and practical support they urgently need.
I would appreciate a response outlining your stance on this issue and what actions you plan to take.
Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Postcode]
