Changes to Disability Benefits


We are very concerned about the impact of the changes to Disability Benefits put forward in the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill. We coordinated a response from interested organisations in York for the DWP consultation on the Bill. This is a summary of our joint response.

Our consultation response is a collaborative work submitted by: Citizens Advice
York, Healthwatch York, Older Citizens Advocacy Service, the Welfare Benefits Unit,
York Carers Centre, York Disability Rights Forum, York Food Bank, York Human Rights
Cities Network, Professor Kate Pickett Professor of Epidemiology in University of York
Dept of Health Sciences, and Professor Charlotte O’Brien University of York, York Law
School.
