Stop cuts to Universal Credit for disabled people aged 16 - 21
The government is proposing to stop health payments (currently the LCWRA element) to young adults on Universal Credit until they turn 22.
This proposal means a huge drop in income of almost £100 per week for almost 110,000 young disabled adults, once they claim Universal Credit in their own right and stop being treated as a dependent child for benefit purposes. If this proposal goes ahead, it would push young disabled adults further away from employment and further into poverty.
We must stop this. Please email your local MP about the devastating impact this will have on disabled young people.
