London, UK. 7th March 2017. Protesters from Disabled People Agains Cuts and the Mental Health Resistance Network sit down to block traffic in Parliament Square in protest against the long series of cuts inflicted on the disabled by the DWP. The latest cuts in Personal Independence Payments (PIP) will lead to the ineligibility of a further 160,000 disabled claimants, mainly with mental health conditions. DPAC claim disability tests for ESA or PIP are used simply to save £ billion on benefits rather than meet the needs of the disabled, many of whom has lost essential mobility cars and other support while the government has added over £550 billion to the national debt and are prepared to spend £200 billion on Trident.
