There is a link between the government’s approach to cutting the benefit bill and negative attitudes towards disabled people and people suffering with mental health problems. For example, Theresa May’s advisor says disability benefits should go to ‘really disabled people’, and not to ‘anxiety sufferers’. Conservative MP, George Freeman, was in favour of cutting £3.7 billion from personal independence, suggesting this way the money would be used for people that are ‘really disabled’ and actually need this money. The impact of this will affect around one thousand individuals. For example, people need guidance for taking their medication and need monitoring with regards to their health condition. It is also important to acknowledge the fact that 164,000 people are unable to actually leave their homes on their own due to the psychological distress it will cause. Therefore, this suggests that there is a still a stigma around mental health; it is not taken as seriously as physical health. The government’s approach to this further contributes to these negative attitudes around people who are actually disabled and suffer with mental health conditions. Further research can support this claim; it was predicated by the director of the centre for welfare reform and citizen network, that there would be a reduction in support for disabled people of about £4410 per person per annum. Twenty-nine percent of cuts are typically aimed at those suffering with disabilities (Duffy, 2012). When examining the link between negative attitudes focusing on disabled individuals and those with mental health, and the benefit bill, it suggests that in the future, disabled people within the UK could lose £9 million with regards to the welfare state (Briant, Watson and Philo, 2013). According to a professor of social policy, at the university of Kent, this social dilemma is being used as an excuse for the government to remodel public services and the welfare system (Taylor-Gooby and Stoker, 2011). The changes being made in how the welfare system operates is seeming to be more focused on whether individuals are physically fit for work, rather than accessing that they are suffering
