I asked the Minister for Social Care about the cut to the Minimum Income Guarantee

I asked the Minister of State in the Department for Health and Social Care, Helen Whately MP, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of the level of MIG on the quality of life of disabled people and the local authority budget. She replied: No specific assessment has been made, nor is there one planned, on the impact of the level of the MIG on the quality of life of disabled people and local authority budgets.

Those in Norwich who rely on the Minimum Income Guarantee (MIG) will be hit hard by Tory-run Norfolk County Council’s plans to cut it.

The Minister told me that the Government haven’t looked at how the level of MIG affects disabled people’s quality of life and that they don’t plan to either.

Cutting the Minimum Income Guarantee for disabled people in Norfolk is a political choice that will be devastating for our most vulnerable fellow citizens.

This is the Tory-run Norfolk County Council yet again making cuts forced on it by its own Tory government.
