We?re joined at Downing Street by Rachel, Myles and Layla who are here urging the Prime Minister to listen. ?Life costs a lot more when you?re disabled, and these cuts will have a devastating effect on disabled people?s health, ability to live independently or work, as in Rachel?s case. ?Without PIP, she won?t be able to afford the things she needs to manage her conditions and the pain which comes with them, meaning she could no longer be able to work. ?The government must listen to disabled people and change course.?
