A disabled man has chosen to stop taking life-saving medication because it is too hard to get health and social care This is the system we're introducing assisted suicide into. Are we ashamed yet? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/โ€ฆ

Been on hold to DWP for half an hour already and they close in 15 minutes. Do we think I'll get through or just get hung up on on 15 mins?

A report by the DWP found that one of the main reasons for more people applying for PIP was because jobcentre staff had started suggesting to claimants they may be entitled to it. Not because of "fraud"

Thanks to the wicked sickfluencers the success rate of initial PIP claims has surged from 52% in 2015 to 44% today. They must be stopped.

Whatโ€™s hilarious about this is, like the m&s employee, this is me literally just doing my job and not worrying about my appearance

1. So only men can clean the men's loos and only women can clean the women's loos? Because that means hiring double the number of staff to clean the loos. 2. Also just fuck off and let people piss. 3. Legalising discrimination doesn't make it less discriminatory

A WEEK TODAY I will be at Edinburgh International Book Festival talking about disability rights over the last 100 years and how we keep up the fight! The event is in person and online edbookfest.co.uk/the-festival/wโ€ฆ

I genuinely didnโ€™t know the extent of the damage heโ€™d done. I knew of a few but I suspect itโ€™s going to be a lot.. I feel awful for recommending him (back in โ€˜21), he also duped me when he claimed success for one of my cases but didnโ€™t actually *do* the work. I was so niaive!

Something that many donโ€™t realise about the UK job marketโ€ฆ Over 1/3 of the job vacancies are listed for job that do not exist or that has already been filled. These are known as โ€œghost jobsโ€, and our credibly common for recruiters and companies to embellish growth statistics

Statutory surveillance doesnโ€™t just monitor actions โ€” it occupies the psyche. People start policing their own thoughts, shrinking their lives to fit someone elseโ€™s gaze. Thatโ€™s not protecting the taxpayer. Itโ€™s crushing lives โ€” and driving up costs through the anguish it creates.

Literally wasting money to fuel hatred across the country. They already know that there is practically no benefit fraud in terms of disability benefits. WTAF.

Really disappointing to see more โ€˜disability activistsโ€™ using disability simulation. An โ€˜able bodiedโ€™ person sitting in a wheelchair for a few hours is not going to understand accessibility or promote change/inclusion. How have we moved so far back? /1
