Do you have views on the planned ‘reforms’ in the welfare reform bill? 

For example, do you think that scrapping disability living allowance and replacing it with personal independence payment is a good idea?

Do you approve of getting rid of crisis loans?

Or cuts in housing benefit?

If you have strong views on the contents of the welfare reform bill, then please pass them on to the committee of MPs set up to study the bill before it goes for its third reading.  You can email your submission as a Word document and there are detailed guidelines on how it should be set out.

The call for evidence was made by MPs on 9 March and you can submit your views up until Thursday 10 May, though the sooner you do it the more chance they will have to consider it.
