Does anyone know of any initiatives focused on improving PIP?

Yet another eligible person within my community has been denied and the DWP's letters are extremely damaging in the lies they tell, let alone the support they are gatekeeping.

What can we do?

AI And Pakistan’s Fiscal Future: Between Innovation And Illusion Pakistan’s AI-driven tax and welfare reforms promise efficiency and fairness, but weak safeguards risk bias, breaches, and digital exclusion

AI can reshape Pakistan’s tax and welfare systems, but without safeguards, bias and weak data protection risk turning reform into exclusion.

Whilst reform of the UK's #welfaresystem is required in some areas, the savings available from this area of public expenditure is dwarfed by the widespread #taxavoidance schemes employed by the wealthiest in society.
Society doesn't just happen; it's built with bold political choices.

Universal Credit delay leaves me overdrawn Eight days without payment. No rent. Now I’m overdrawn. Universal Credit finally being paid — but the damage is done. Here's what it cost.

A missing payment from Universal Credit — and a bank account tipped into the red.
They’ve paid now. But this isn’t how support is supposed to work.

Three Right-Wing Parties, All Wrong on Welfare and Economy Tories, Labour and Reform UK are failing families with toxic welfare policies and fantasy economics. Here's why none of them have the answer.

Before bed, here’s some nightmare fuel:
All three right-wing UK parties are failing the poor — and the planet.
This is what they’re really up to.

MPs call for grant system overhaul A parliamentary committee has urged the government to unify social grants and boost funding after assessing the impact of the Omitara basic income grant pilot project. The parliamentary standing committee on health, social welfare, and labour affairs has recommended that the government synchronise all social grant programmes to avoid the duplication of beneficiaries. This recommendation follows the committee’s consultations on 5 August 2024 and 9 May this year on the two-year basic income grant (BIG) pilot programme that was launched in the Omitara community. The programme involved about 1 000 registered beneficiaries – each receiving N$100 per month from January 2008 to December 2009. Standing committee chairperson Emma Muteka presented this report in the parliament on Thursday. It found that beneficiaries who were already registered on old-age pension grants, disability grants, and vulnerable children grants were also receiving the BIG’s N$100. This was due to a lack of synchronisation. Furthermore, the report recommends that the Ministry of Finance introduce an increase in revenue to boost safety nets by amending laws constitutionally to introduce new taxes on natural resources and tourism. “Establish an agency for the effective and efficient administration, management, and payment of social grants; implement programmes for vulnerable people in age groups not catered to by current grants; strengthen data collection capacity to ensure all vulnerable Namibians are cushioned,” the report says. The report found poverty dropped significantly among Omitara community households as families could afford basic groceries, cosmetics, and clothing. According to the report, the residents also embarked on starting backyard gardens to supplement drought-relief food that often came late. “Some beneficiaries also combined their N$100 and started small businesses such as brickmaking, selling ice, baking bread, dressmaking, and shoe repairs. “Grandparents can send their children back to school, buy school uniforms, and afford to pay school fees . . . “Residents also combined BIG grants, bought corrugated iron sheets, and built themselves decent structures,” the report states. It says once the pilot programme ended, a significant rise in hunger and sickness, including malnutrition, was noted. Additionally, young people who resorted to illegal hunting landed in prison, while petty crimes committed by young children increased due to hunger and poverty. “Alcohol consumption has increased badly. Some children dropped out of school due to the unaffordability of school uniforms and hunger when returning home from school,” the report says. The post MPs call for grant system overhaul appeared first on The Namibian.

Poor, lower-class labourers banded together and eventually formed their own political party so they would have a voice.

#WorkersRights, #WorkplaceProtections, outlawing of child labour, a #WelfareSystem, a public health system… These are what followed and these have fundamentally changed

Overall, pretty reasonable from Kendall.
Glad Starmer et al didn't freeze payments.
The rumour this was even considered is, however, plain wrong and 'not Labour'.
