London, UK. 7th March 2017. Rev Paul Nicolson of Taxpayers against Poverty rings his warning bell at the protest by campaigners from Disabled People Against Cuts and Mental Health Resistance Network come to protest at Parliament against the long series of cuts inflicted on the disabled by the DWP. After talking with MPs including shadow ministers they marched around Parliament Square before sitting down to block traffic. 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.
