PIP cuts: the questions politicians need to answer

Before anyone talks about cutting PIP, they need to answer these crucial questions:

Is PIP an out-of-work benefit? No. This is where the whole debate often starts wrong. PIP is designed to help with the extra costs of living with a disability, regardless of whether you are in work or not.

What do disabled people really use PIP for? It is not spare money - it goes on essentials like care, travel, heating, specialist diet, and daily aids.

Would vouchers really work instead of cash? Disability costs do not always come with neat receipts or simple receipts.

Who decides what counts as a "severe" disability? Hidden and fluctuating conditions are often not understood or properly recognised.

Would council support create a postcode lottery? Your support should not depend on where you live.

Would cutting PIP actually help disabled people into work? Or would it remove the support that makes work possible in the first place?

Disabled people are not against reform - we are against reform that ignores real life.

PIP is not an out-of-work benefit.

It is support that helps disabled people cover the extra costs of daily life, whether they are working, studying, self-employed or unable to work.

For many people, PIP helps pay for essentials like energy bills, food, taxis, mobility aids, healthcare, equipment and support.

So when politicians talk about cutting PIP or replacing cash support with vouchers, they are missing the reality of disabled life.

Removing financial support does not remove disability costs. It simply pushes those costs back onto disabled people, carers and families.

Disabled consumers aren't just spending differently. They're making decisions differently.

We asked more than 1,300 disabled people about how they shop, save and make everyday purchasing decisions.

The results surprised even us.

Our first Purpl Pulse report found:

• 71% say accessibility influences where they shop.
• 64% find everyday spending decisions mentally exhausting.
• 79% compare more options before buying.
• 84% regularly browse discounts before purchasing.
• 69% are more likely to abandon a purchase than they were a year ago.

The message is clear.

Accessibility isn't separate from affordability.

It's part of it.

HUGE news for disabled bus pass holders in England

Disabilities do not wait until 9:30 am to start, and finally, disabled bus pass rules will not either!

The national morning curfew on disabled bus passes in England is officially being scrapped, meaning 24/7 free travel on local buses. No more paying peak fares out of your own pocket just to get to an 8:00 am hospital appointment or an early work shift.

Key details about the change:

Implementation Date: The nationwide change comes into effect on 1st April 2027.

Regional Exceptions: Some areas (like Greater Manchester) already offer 24/7 free travel for disabled bus pass holders.

Current Rules & Eligibility: We have detailed how to apply and who qualifies under current rules in our new guide.

Disabled bus passes are going 24/7 across England.

From 1 April 2027, the 9:30am weekday restriction will be scrapped for disabled bus pass holders.

That means no more waiting until 9:30am to use your pass because you have an early hospital appointment, work shift or somewhere else you need to be.

For now, the existing rules still apply in most areas, although some councils already offer all-day travel.

We've put together a guide covering:

• When the new rules start
• Who qualifies for a disabled bus pass
• How PIP can help prove eligibility
• How to apply
• What happens if you need a companion
