If you're in the UK and you're worried about benefit cuts, I know how you feel. I'm anxious, upset, and desperately angry. I'm sure a lot of you are too.
Scope, a UK based disability charity, outline the cuts and explain them here. This is kept up to date as things are discussed and changed by the government. They have a petition here.
Scope also offer advice and support for disabled people, and have a helpline for this. More information here.
Sense, another UK based disability charity, have a template to email your local MP. This is available here, and can be customised to add your personal story and why you're worried about the cuts. They email it on your behalf, so you don't need to worry about finding their email address and emailing it yourself, you just fill in the form! If you can, please share this with friends and family! The more people email their MPs, the more impact it will have. Support from Sense is available on their website.
