Liz Kendall, the Work & Pensions secretary for the current Government, has made baseless statements of people claiming PIP & UFW UC benefits by taking their income away as an insentive to ‘get back into work’ & not 'take the mickey'. In reality most disabled & neurodivergent people receiving these benefits both need PIP to get navigate public life with their conditions better. This along with the Unfit For Work benefit garuntees income for people who would not be hired due to their conditions.
