As a disabled resident of Halesowen, I am directly affected by the Labour Government’s Pathways to Work Green Paper. These proposals risk worsening my health and living conditions, pushing my family and me further into poverty and serious danger.

Petition: Do not scrap the Work Capability Assessment (WCA)
The Government must immediately withdraw the proposal to scrap the WCA, as detailed in its Pathways to Work: Reforming Benefits and Support to Get Britain Working Green Paper.

🚨 Petition:Don’t let UKGov scrap #WorkCapabilityAssessment This’s a direct threat to #LCWRA #ESA + #DisabilityBenefits in the Autumn White Paper. It may not stop it but silence definitely won’t
