Contact an All Party Parliamentary Group about the cuts

"Contact an All Party Parliamentary Group about the cuts

As well as contacting your own MP about the proposed benefits cuts, you may be able to get your message to other MPs of all parties, if there is an All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) which covers your condition.

The race to try to persuade MPs that the Green Paper provisions will be a disaster for many claimants is likely to be a short one.

There are growing reports that Labour aim to introduce a bill in May and, if it certified as a money bill, the Lords will not be able to amend or delay it for more than a month, meaning the PIP and UC cuts could be on the statute book by the end of July, ready to be implemented next year.

So, the more MPs who hear from claimants who are going to suffer real harm from the changes, the better.

APPGs consist of members of both Houses of Parliament, from all parties, who share an interest in a particular topic. A number of these groups relate to different health conditions.

We’ve listed some of the ones we think are most relevant below, but you can see a complete list of all APPGs here.

You should probably email the person listed as the Public Enquiry Point first and ask them to forward your concerns about the effects of the cuts to all members of the group.

As always, emails need to be polite and short enough that people will read them. In this case, MPs should want to be informed about whether people with the condition they meet about are likely to be affected by the Green Paper cuts.
