"THIS IS HUGE! The policy that would give the Department for Work and Pensions the power to scrutinise the bank accounts of benefit claimants has been scrapped.

It wouldn't have been possible without this community. Together we rallied together to stop this heinous policy for months. The viral petition with over 106,000 signatures was just the tip of the iceberg.

👉🏽 102,743 of us signed the petition
👉🏽 97% of us agree that the DWP shouldn’t give itself the new powers
👉🏽 7,276 disabled members and unpaid carers shared our experiences in a huge survey
👉🏽 38,665 emailed Mel Stride and the DWP with our demands
👉🏽 6,251 of us voted on how to escalate this campaign at every level
👉🏽 1 petition hand-in at Number 10 Downing Street with our partners at 38 Degrees and Big Brother Watch"
