Happy Pride Month from Reading Welfare Rights! 🌈💖

This month, we celebrate love, identity, and the strength of the LGBTQ+ community. At Reading Welfare Rights, we're committed to creating a world where everyone feels safe, accepted, and empowered to be their true selves. Let's uplift voices, stand together, and champion equality! 🏳️‍🌈✨

The Government is considering changes to how PIP eligibility is assessed. Under the proposed revisions, claimants would need to score at least four points in any single activity to qualify for the daily living component.

We understand that these proposals may raise concerns, and we want to ensure that your voices are heard.

To gather feedback, we've created a survey, and we would greatly appreciate your participation. Responses are completely anonymous, and any questions can be left unanswered if preferred. The input collected will help us draft a well-informed response to the Government.
