Although many carers had earned just a few pence over the weekly limit, overpayments were inflated by “cliff edge” rules whereby any breach of weekly earnings limit resulted in the loss of the entire benefit. Meaning a £1 breach over 52 weeks would result in a demand not for £52 but £4,332.

Ministers are facing questions over why the Department for Work and Pensions is using a screening process to filter out potential recruits with health conditions while repeatedly complaining that too many disabled and older people are not in jobs.

Have you seen those #DWP ads that are everywhere at the moment where some life event happens to a woman*, & then a voice tells you if you don't notify the DWP, they will find you & fine you.
I HATE this govt.
*Both ads feature women.
In one, the start of a relationship.
In another, bereavement.

Just want to say a big thank you soooo much to #DWP for the form that's taken 4 and a half hours to complete (with help) to yet again review the #PIP claim for my conditions which became permanent years ago.
I'm now physically useless for the next few days.

The entirety of #DWP call centers must have the afternoon off. Incompetent wankers!
Access to Work is, in theory, there to help disabled people get and stay in work. It’s supposed to provide financial support for support workers and extra equipment. The problem is, like anything else the #DWP touches, it’s absolutely fucked

Scores of failings that contributed to the deaths of disabled people who relied on the social security system were kept from MPs who were voting on cuts to disability benefits in the summer of 2025, new documents have revealed.

A government inquiry found Carer’s Allowance debts were caused by failures inside the DWP. But senior officials still tried to blame the carers.

Should we depose the President and become a British colony again? But then, the #DWP is not that much better.
The government’s own social security advisers have warned a minister he may need to do more to “shift entrenched concerns” among disabled claimants that they could lose their disability benefits if they take steps towards paid work.

This comes a few months after the government announced plans to increase employment for disabled people.
Disabled artists deserve stable, reliable support to do our best work and grow long term careers.
Please share to help keep this issue visible.

Obscene and probably UNLAWFUL! #OurNHS is a HEALTH SERVICE-not a surveillance arm of the VILE #DWP! It is not the role of a HEALTH SERVICE to SHARE patient's #Private&Confidential records with"third-parties!" #NHS staff would be SACKED for doing so!
The #InformationCommissioner must INVESTIGATE!😡🤬😠
Why you shouldn’t ignore your universal credit ‘migration’ letter. 📝
The government is moving everyone on older ‘legacy’ benefits on to universal credit - a single payment that combines several types of financial support.
