I have a disability but haven't applied for PIP because the form is daunting & I can't deal with the stress of it. Also if this goes through I am sure my disability will be one of the ones that will fall in this category

These cuts will mean that mental health conditions will increase and suicides will increase which will put a huge financial strain on the NHS and families and what the government are trying to save by these cuts will not benefit anyone. This is outrageous again by a government who pretend to be doing the best for those who need it. It's like going back in history when people with these conditions were banished from society. This has to stop.

These cuts may also affect my daughter who has a variety of complex health conditions including epilepsy, cutting benefits for vulnerable people can't be justified.

He needs to live a day in the life of someone who has the conditions that he claims people can just pop pills at home for. Doctors and hospital visits, remembering to actually take the pills he talks about, days when you physically cannot do anything... these disabilities are real!!

Autism, depression, bipolar, Alzheimer's, schizophrenia and all the other conditions I haven't listed are disabilities (people who think they're not obviously have never had or had a loved one suffer to understand) and without the help of DLA/PIP you are taking away the help theses people are desperate for so they can live a normal life. Giving children who have theses conditions a chance don't take it away from them.

Absolutely disgusted. Walk a day in our shoes as carers or even better a day in the life of the disabled person and then and only then do you have the right to determine what you see as a disability!

Stop making cuts to those most in need. There are many ways to make necessary adjustments to government spending of taxpayers money. Punishing those who are disadvantaged is not one of them.

my son has epilepsy and I think it's ridiculous and insulting to consider his condition not to be a disability. millions of children and adults suffer with this condition day to day.

Cuts are unacceptable- these are human beings that need to be treated with respect.

As a mother with a daughter with a traumatic brain injury, the hidden effects may not be apparent to the assessment officer. I am dreading this appointment :/

Epilepsy is a disability
