Back - left to right - Sophie George, Jessica Leigh and Katriona Maguire Front - left to right - Rachel Batton, Myles Pearson and Layla Steadman-Bevan Jessica Leigh, campaigns manager at disability equality charity Scope, said: ?We?re here at Downing Street to urge the government to drop these catastrophic plans to rip billions from the welfare budget. ?More than 100,000 people have backed our petition against these cuts, including many disabled people. 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.?
