The UK government’s proposed changes to PIP could leave hundreds of thousands of disabled people without essential support. At Purpl, we believe every voice matters—and contacting your MP is one of the most powerful ways to push for change.
This guide will walk you through exactly how to do it: from finding your MP’s email to sending a message that gets heard. We’ve even written the letter for you.
Whether you’re directly affected or standing in solidarity, this is your toolkit to speak up and demand better.
Use this letter to contact your MP and raise your voice about the government’s proposed changes to PIP. The more people who speak out, the more pressure MPs will feel to challenge these reforms.
Copy & Paste Letter to Your MP
Subject: Urgent: Protect Disabled People from PIP Cuts
Dear [MP’s Name],
I am writing as your constituent to express my deep concern about the Government’s proposed changes to Personal Independence Payment (PIP).
The new rules coming in from 2026 could mean up to 800,000 people losing essential financial support. This would have a devastating impact on disabled people across the UK—many of whom already face significant barriers in daily life, work, and health.
These changes risk pushing thousands into poverty, isolating vulnerable individuals, and increasing pressure on local services and charities already stretched to the limit.
I urge you to:
- Oppose the 4-point threshold for the daily living component
- Demand proper impact assessments before any changes are passed
- Push for a full review of disability benefits with disabled people meaningfully involved in the process
Disabled people deserve to be supported, not punished.
Please confirm you have received this letter and let me know your position on these proposed reforms.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
