Government’s walk-back on proposed Pip and disability changes echoes some of the key lessons from our recent research for Mencap. We researched the additional costs faced by people with a learning disability and explored the difference these benefits make - see below...

📢 Our in-depth research for Mencap on the cost of living with a learning disability has now been published! The research was conducted as the government made their announcements about changes to PIP and it’s great to see this timely research supporting Mencap’s work to influence policy in this area

1/5 📢Our latest research with Cordis Bright exposes the true cost of living with a learning disability and why the government can't overlook these unavoidable costs.

#CostOfBeingOverlooked #ProtectPIP

Purple graphic with colourful icon of people with a disability. There is cream text that says 'The true cost of being overlooked. Mencap’s new research exposes the true cost of living with a learning disability, and why the government can't overlook these unavoidable costs. Here’s what was found'

Blue graphic with an icon of purple people with a disability at the bottom of the page. The white text says 'Unavoidable and high extra costs. People with a learning disability incur higher costs in almost every area of life including housing, mobility, care, health, food, and social activities. These are essential expenses, not luxuries.'

A pink graphic with an icon of a mother and child shopping in a supermarket. The cream text says 'Inadequacy of PIP. For many participants, PIP does not sufficiently cover these costs, and some families are left subsidising support or going without essentials. PIP is inflation linked, not based on real needs. 85% of low income households with a person with a learning disability went without essentials in the 6 months to May 2024 (JRF).'

A purple graphic with a purple icon of a person sat on a sofa with their head in hands. The cream text says 'Harmful impact of losing PIP. Participants said losing PIP would mean: An inability to cover basic needs. Social isolation and worsening physical and mental health. Increased pressure on health and social care systems'
