Under both Conservative and Labour governments, the DWP have colluded with the press to demonise younger claimants living with mental health issues, ADHD and autism.  Ministers have joined in, to create a smokescreen which obscures the politically inconvenient truth that the majority of those at risk of losing their personal independence payment (PIP) under the Green paper proposals are older people with physical health conditions – many of whom have worked all their adult life until they became ill.

Sickfluencers

In January, the Canary highlighted the fact that “Disabled people living with mental health conditions came on the receiving end of an exponential surge in corporate media attacks against benefit claimants in 2024.”  It also found many articles “blaming the rise in disability benefit claims on the increase in claims from autistic people, and people with ADHD.” 

Sinister TikTok and Youtube “sickfluencers” who encourage young people to make spurious claims for benefits rather than find employment have become a staple of these hate tales, which continue to the present day:

Spike in disability claims for ADHD — as influencers provide advice  Sunday Times 14.04.2024

‘Sickfluencers’ help followers claim benefits as 15,000 a week approved  Times 30.11.2024

The benefits sickfluencers teaching Brits how to play the system and take YOUR tax to splash on flash cars and exotic hols  The Sun 07.02.25

The £3.5bn-a-year benefits bill for anxiety and ADHD  Telegraph 19.03.25

Disability benefits for anxiety and depression double since pandemic  Times 25.04.2025

And Liz Kendall, in her speech launching the Pathways To Work Green Paper argued that PIP claims were “rising faster among young people and mental health conditions . . . And the consequences of this failure are there for all to see. Millions of people who could work trapped on benefits… denied the income, hope, dignity and self-respect that we know good work brings

But, if this is the problem that the reforms are designed to fix, why are the bulk of the cuts aimed at older people with physical health conditions?

Physical health to be hardest hit

All the figures provided by the DWP suggest that it is physical health awards, not mental health or neurodevelopmental ones, that will bear the brunt of Labour’s cuts.

PIP awards at risk are those where the claimant did not score a minimum of 4 points for any daily living activity.  DWP statistics show that of all at risk awards for working age claimants:

  • 72% are based on physical health
  • 26% are based on mental health
  • 1% are based on ADHD
  • 1% are based on autistic spectrum disorders (ASD)
  • 0.25% are based on learning disabilities.

(Numbers do not add up to 100% due to rounding). 

Clearly, from these numbers, ADHD and ASD awards are not at the forefront of cuts.

The DWP did not provide us with a condition specific breakdown of awards, but even from the categories it did provide, the focus on physical health is very apparent.  The percentage of awards with no 4 point or higher descriptor is:

  • 79% for back pain
  • 77% for arthritis
  • 71% for regional musculoskeletal diseases (excluding back pain)
  • 68% for chronic pain syndromes
  • 62% for cardiovascular disease
  • 55% for respiratory diseases

By comparison, 48% of awards for anxiety and depression have no 4 point or higher and, as we have seen above, 19% for ADHD and 6% for ASD.

What Labour are threatening with their Green Paper then, is almost eight out of ten awards for back pain and arthritis being stopped and even awards for conditions like heart disease and breathing problem being taken away from well over half of all current recipients.

If Labour were honest about this, they would probably find their plans much harder to sell.

Older claimants to be hardest hit

The other claim being made by Labour is that these cuts are aimed at preventing a whole generation of young people becoming permanent benefits claimants and never experiencing the “dignity and self-respect” of work.

The truth is the opposite:  younger claimants are much less likely to lose their awards while older claimants, most with a lifetime of graft behind them, are much more likely to lose their PIP. 

According to the DWP’s statxplore, the percentage of PIP claimants aged between 50 and 66 is, for example:

  • 82% of those living with arthritis.
  • 79% of those living with respiratory illness
  • 75% of those living with cardiovascular disease
  • 63% of those living with back pain
  • 57% of those living with chronic pain
  • 54% of those living with regional musculoskeletal diseases (excluding back pain)

Claimants living with mental health conditions tend to be younger:  only 36% of claimants living with anxiety and depression are aged  between 50 and 66. 

Those living with  neurodevelopmental issues are even younger: just 4% of claimants living with  ASD and 2.5% of those  living with ADHD are aged between 50 and 66.

But, as we have seen, mental health and neurodevelopmental claims make up only a little over a quarter of all at risk claims.

Whereas, just the six physical health conditions listed above, include over half of all the 1.3 million at risk claims. 

When it all unravels

There is no question, as our research has shown, that claimants living with mental health conditions will be hit dreadfully hard by the Green Paper changes and some of them will be amongst the most vulnerable people in our society.

But the number of claimants with physical health conditions who will be plunged into desperate circumstances by a sudden drop in income will be even greater.

Labour ministers may well succeed in conning their own MPs into voting the changes to PIP into law before the summer recess.

But, when the cuts actually come into force in November 2026, the deception will not hold.

It will rapidly become obvious that Labour is systematically destroying the income, not of young people led from the path of gainful employment by greedy “sickfluencers”, but of older people with a lifetime of work behind them. 

And as images begin to appear in the press of disabled people close to retirement age, some using wheelchairs or supplemental oxygen kits, queueing at food banks and debt advice centres, Labour MPs may regret their gullibility.

By the summer of 2029, after two and a half years of thousands of older, disabled claimants being remorselessly stripped of their PIP every single month, there will be a general election at which they may regret it a great deal more.

    I can't understand the people who are in parliament that are against these cuts don't stand up and say we have no confidence in a so called leader 
    I really wouldn't wish anyone to become disabled as we don't have choices on which disability we have to live with each day.

    There seems to be a big issue that they haven’t thought out like all the disabled that won’t be able to pay their mortgages or subsidise there rent if there living in private rentals I’m lucky my mortgage isn’t much and I’ve only got 2 years left to pay but I wouldn’t be able to afford it if my pip got cut I’m hanging in there by the skin of my teeth they forgot at the last election they said they would scrap universal credit before it was rolled out nationwide if they got in as it was unfair with too many cuts and now there cutting the very same cut system when are they going to realise we can’t make are lives better with pip we need that to survive and pay bills because the universal credit has been stripped back to the bone labour has become a joke that doesn’t stand for anything a pack of puppets I hope plenty of these new labour mps stand up and be counted for what’s right like more help not less help for the vulnerable

      @Steve Labour mps will only support us if they known that the next inevitable time they come grovelling for your vote to keep their very lucrative job we will remember if they supported us.
      Every one under threat needs to tell their elected Mp that only those that are against cuts will get your vote.
      The recent local elections terrified both major parties. They are just Bullies hiding behind their office spouting how much it costs. All bullies back down if people collectively stand up to them.

    I have been a labour voter all my life but after this attack on the disabled never again. I have worked and paid into the system since I was 13 - I have raised and cared for my autistic son while working and holding everything together. I myself was diagnosed with cancer 2 years ago now which after treatment has left me half blind and no longer able to work. I was so relieved when the Tories were voted out with thier constant vitriolic bile towards the disabled community - never thought I would hear the same bile coming from labour! they want to bring the welfare bill down there is one easy solution that would cut billions off and that is to introduce a rent cap in the private renting sector - but no they don't want to upset thier rich landlord friends. What worries me most is that Reform are getting a foot hold in the door - if the tories and labour were bad enough the Reform lot will be hell on earth - these changes and the way they are treating the disabled is seriously making me consider about leaving the country altogether.

    So if you were awarded pips under the current system but didn't score 4 on any of the daily living components when new bill is passed you can lose your pips without another assessment  am I understanding this correct l? Surely that against some law on human rights !!

      @Bob m This attack has been carefully planned somebody spent a lot of time on tax funded salary working through how pip was being applied and came up with the 4 point rule and the next part to end wca and base it on one pip style assessment. It takes a very nasty mindset to do this kind of work

    Well I have an incurable heart condition I’m expecting to lose the DLA element of pip . They will leave the cheaper mobility component as my heart condition is now affecting my ability to get around. It’s sad isn’t it having worked and fought for this country for 47 years this is all the thanks we get. Worst of it is I’m a Labour Party member as well. Still wasting for a review decision after 1 year. All because this government is more interested in in tax payers then those that have done there bit. Gary

    With the proposed changes to PIP I'm set to lose over £3,800 per year which is over 30% of money I have coming in and t

    The changes to UC will see an increase of £364 per year but beyond that I don't know what the future holds and whether I can afford to live.

    I deeply feel there will be more sneaky planned cuts. I don't trust this govt one iota. 

    Having reached pensionable age, I fear what will happen next. Whilst I have a 10 year award, I can't be sure of what rabbit they'll pull out of the hat next.

    I do think, if you have PIP, and approaching pension age, make sure you write to PIP now, and state any health, or disability, worsening. Do not wait til after pension age. I will be writing very soon, as my partner's legal appointee, detailing his worsening health. He will be 66 next year, just escaping the pension age rise. 

    Frankly, i don't trust them, in any way whatsoever.
    They are just seeding fear and picking on vulnerable people

    I would like to bring to everyone's attention, that what employer would be willing to take on a disabled person of any age? They would not get insurance cover, if there was an accident at work. Disabled people are a liability, especially, if they take medication to control pain or nervous issues, which makes them sleepy and unfocused. Labour really haven't thought this out at all. Obviously, some would be accepted in a working environment, but the majority wouldn't stand a chance, so what happens then? They will end up on a revolving conveyer belt, being sent for interview after interview and not getting anywhere, losing the will to live.

      @Leah Employer insurance is classed as a group insurance. The risk is spread across all the employees. So yes, they can insure you if a reasonable size company. The main point is they don't want an employee who already has health problems, it's an inconvenience for them.

      @Leah Exactly right. I had a serious accident 13years ago the consequence of which I had to give up my job. I suffered serious nerve damage and the medications I have to take for pain mezn most of the time I struggle to know what day of the week it is and I'm starting to drop off by lunchtime. I'm 55 now and only have use of one hand and arm so have to use aids to help with daily living and even with the medication I'm still in pain. My  employer paid severance to leave because I couldn't do my job anymore. No one will employ me now and I'm not capable of working anymore so if I loose PIP I might as well top myself. Maybe that's what this government is hoping people like me will do when these PIP cuts come in.

    Labour lie it’s as simple as, I stand to lose £9k per annum, from the 4 point rule, I was terminated from my employment on the grounds of ill health, my consultant said good. I had worked for 39 years prior to that with only maternity leave gaps in employment. I’m coming up to 59 now. Going back to work is a non starter for me as I’ll merely end up in agony, more in bed than out of it. This article is spot on, if Mr Timms is correct in what he’s saying and pensioners won’t be affected for the rest of their life and will retain their PIP, then my guess is they want all people coming up to pension age off PIP so they won’t have to pay it to them for life, in a perverse way, it makes sense to save the government a lot of money. In reality it’s as sick as it comes as they are throwing people under the bus who have paid into the system all their working life who need help at the end of their working life.  It’s seriously abhorrent.

Labour are dillusional
      l if they think employers are going to welcome disabled people they are very wrong employers dont want disabled people in their work force they see them as a unwanted burden slowing them down it's a joke really  believe me from someone who has suffered constant discrimination at work back stabbing, name calling and the butt of my employers jokes .The majority of disabled employees will agree with all that I'm saying ..They don't stand a chance working in factories  supermarkets or any large organisation  because in reality your just not wanted there  simple as that.

      How many of the cuts and rules were brought in by the conservatives employing contractors to run parts of the NHS?  What did they give to big businesses, traditionally  their supporters, to give profits to the owners? privatisation has crept in, tight contracts will be expensive to get out of.  Money has been talking a lot.  
      I wonder if it is possible to bring laws to sort this out. Can any government afford to rescue those who need help?  I'm over 70, need the NHS and gps. GP told me to go private and I refused. He worked as a gp and same time for a private clinic. I cannot afford private treatment, I paid a full national insurance stamp all my working life.

    It hurt, but honestly the attack on pensioners and pip/esa claimants is like the Green Party installing coal power stations, I really don’t get it. Probably the best hope is starmer falling, and someone more traditional labour to get the top job, and take a different tack.

    Keir Starmer says that the "tough decisions" his government made in the Budget are starting to bear fruit.

    He must be lying even to himself, as it's crystal clear that they're rather backfiring.

    He says: "The message I take out of these elections is that we need to go further and we need to go faster on the change that people want to see."

    This is way beyond dishonesty.

      @James

      Such yes men excessively flatter or agree with leaders and tell them lies and distorted information, often concealing the truth or offering misleading advice to maintain the leader's favour. They prioritise pleasing the leader over providing objective and potentially critical information, which often leads to the leader making poor decisions due to a lack of accurate information and constructive feedback.

      Weak leaders adore yes-men, as these allow them to flourish their desire to feel good about themselves and their views, and they reward the continual agreement from their yes men with smiles, to start with, and remain blinded by the false agreement of their yes men.

      Yes men have one major tool. Apart from camouflaging themselves as the nicest colleagues whom everyone would like to have a beer with, It's telling the leader what they want to hear. This tool works best with weak leaders.

      @Scorpion Starmer is a bigger embarrassment than BoJo.

      Which is quite a feat. You have to give credit.

      @Scorpion Well they are bearing fruit - it's bitter, and they do need to go further and faster on the change that people want to see. You've got it it, prime minister - the change that people want to see - that message. A change from all you're doing, already.

      @Scorpion Politicians believe their own propaganda, they are in fact the last to know how unpopular they have become and are shocked to find out they are hated. This happens to everyone who become leaders and are surrounded by their yes men who keep telling him how popular they are!
