Charities warn Labour’s PIP review must ‘earn the trust’ of disabled people Exclusive: A group of over 50 charities and disabled person’s organisations warn that the review is ‘causing concern’

Many disabled people have understandably lost trust in DWP after years of dehumanising decision-making. It's time we work together.

Families across London are living in Temporary Accommodation without basics like cooking facilities, laundry access, or phone number for support with repairs and case updates.

This isn’t inevitable.

The government says settling in the UK should be ‘earned.’ Translation: if you’ve ever accessed support, you may wait 5-10 years longer.

Z2K’s latest briefing sets out why this approach is flawed, unfair, and economically short-sighted: z2k.org/wp-content/u...

The Renters’ Rights Act is finally a thing – on paper. But unless renters know their rights and councils properly enforce them, it will mean little in practice.

We’ve told the London Assembly Housing Committee what it’ll take to make the Act work: z2k.org/wp-content/u...

Statement on Bill to end the two-child limit 65 organisations have come together to commend the government for making the choice to scrap the two-child limit and ask all MPs to stand with children and support this Bill.

Today, Parliament begins debating the Bill to end the two-child limit – a policy that helped drive child poverty to a record high.

We’re proud to stand with 65 other organisations calling on MPs to support it.

We've told the Milburn Review that punitive benefits rules don’t ‘incentivise’ young people – they punish disabled people and lock them out of work.

If the Government is serious about reform, it should fix what’s broken. Practical ways to improve PIP assessments are possible, so decisions are right the first time.

Sacrificing disabled people to balance the books is not a mandate anyone has given this government.
With elections coming in May, and support for disabled people under universal credit due to be cut by £200/month from April, that warning matters.

Fresh benefits rebellion brews as PIP whistleblowers expose ‘superficial’ quotas One MP said it would be the 'straw that breaks the back of the Starmer leadership'

MPs criticise behaviour of senior DWP officials over carer’s allowance scandal Top DWP civil servant accused of giving out ‘a lot of blancmange’ over department’s response during hearing

Carers were landed with debts they never owed because the DWP ran a system of ✨blancmange✨: wobbly rules and no grip on the harm caused.

Now it wants banks to hand over data. The DWP needs to build trust, not be handed unchecked power.

Today the government publishes the bill to end the two-child limit. This huge moment in the fight against child poverty should be celebrated.

But keeping the punitive household benefit cap will blunt its impact for hundreds of thousands of children. This cap should also go.
