#ScrapPIP20m

New research shows this is predicted to cost the UK Government £92 million over three years – more than it will have saved by cutting PIP payments.

Now, the UK Government are reviewing their spending for the next few years. This is your chance to tell them the 20 metre rule simply doesn’t make sense – for the UK Government or people with MS.

You will then be able to automatically send an email with a prepared message Work and Pensions Secretary Amber Rudd MP, to tell her now is the time to scrap the rule.

Disability Rights UK supports this campaign. For many years now, we have opposed the introduction of the 20 metre rule.
