We are seeing yet more divisive media reports about disabled people and the welfare system. Promoting the idea that life on disability benefits is a choice - lucrative even – is dangerous. It fuels distrust and negative attitudes towards disabled people.

So carers are “economically inactive" are we. Ok, just forget about us contributing £445 million to the economy every day – £162 billion per year. We are paid £77 a WEEK for that. but “economically inactive" eh.

We should not pigeon hole people into being older. All people with MS should be treated as a person with MS regardless of age. MS services are not geared up for an ageing population. @GavinGiovannoni #MSTConference2024

Thank you Ed Davey for raising that thousands of unpaid carers are having to repay very substantial Carer’s Allowance overpayments to the Department for Work and Pensions at the first #PMQs today. Carers, who need and deserve better, urgently need to see reform of Carer’s Allowance.

When the Carer becomes the one in need of care As many of you may already know, last week I had a bad fall that required a short stay in hospital to repair a fractured humerus and dislocated shoulder. I can’t fault the hospital staff at all as every single one of them was

Deliberately misleading post. Cars via Motability lease scheme are not free! Disabled people who are rigorously assessed&qualify for high level PIP/ADP can choose to lease a car. Costs app £300 a month + advanced payment norm +£3-10k, they don’t get back. Stop the crap rhetoric!
