The Issue

The proposed Pathways to Work Green Paper is threatening to upend my livelihood. It spells a loss of up to £9000 a year in essential disability benefits for me. Without this financial support, I face a grim reality—being unable to pay my rent, cover basic bills, or afford a decent standard of living. The consequence? Homelessness and destitution.

This isn't just my story. Thousands of individuals relying on disability benefits risk falling through the cracks due to this new policy. The Green Paper is marketed as progressive reform, but in reality, it strips away critical support from those who need it the most.

The government's consultation process feels like a sham—a mere formality intended to validate pre-determined outcomes rather than seek genuine public input. Expert analyses and anecdotal evidence alike suggest the changes will disproportionately harm the most vulnerable populations.

Financial insecurity, reduced quality of life, and increased risk of homelessness: these are not the marks of a progressive society. The proposed changes fail to recognise the nuanced realities of those in need and pay little respect to their voices.

We must demand transparency, genuine consultation, and policymaking that prioritizes human welfare over cost-cutting measures. The Green Paper should not march forward in its current form.

Urge policymakers to scrap this divisive and damaging proposal. Sign this petition to voice your opposition and demand a fair and inclusive consultation process that truly reflects the needs and rights of disabled individuals. Let us protect the financial lifeline that is vital for so many."
