YOUR DAILY REMINDER THAT PIP IS NOT AN 'OUT OF WORK' BENEFIT.
MP's and the media are lying to you.

[Snowleopardess 💚 @snowleopardess]

Again and again this false narrative is pushed by politicians and the media.
PIP is NOT an "out of work" benefit. It is paid regardless of whether a disabled person is able to work or not. It helps with the extra costs disability involves..and that can include the cost TO work.

[David Williamson @theirishego]

Very surprised @theipaper pushing this narrative but let's say it *yet again* for everyone at the back:

PIP is *not* an out-of-work benefit.

It is designed to help pay for the additional costs that come with having a disability.

[Stuie - bury me in stardust🏳️‍🌈🎃 @spookystuie]

@patmcfaddenmp But it’s not about helping people is it? People with illnesses or disabilities, or even recovering for surgeries/accidents/medical procedures, don’t need non-medical people pushing them into things

Again work is not a health outcome stop treating it as such

[Hoe Junter @JoeHunter_]

Why is Parliament allowing itself to become a platform for disinformation?

This is harming disabled people. No one is getting Motability cars for having acne. It's nonsense.

[Dr Jay Watts @Shrink_at_Large]

Two week reminder to fill in the Timms review into PIP.

I know we have been through countless consultations but it WILL be worse if we don’t push back and it’s vital those in MH respond as we are a key target and our organisations tend to be tamer.

“Appalling conduct”?

Strong words from an MP who voted to keep hundreds of thousands of children in avoidable poverty, left pensioners freezing in winter and stripped vital support from disabled people.

Bore off, Jacob.

[Ben Claimant 💚 Join a Union @BenClaimant]

Have you noticed that on the one hand the govt are pushing disabled into work, but on the other they're cutting motability and support from Access To Work. It doesn't make any sense.

[Cara Lisette @CaraLisette]

She did the meme again

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

When Labour MPs vote against something, then celebrate it happening, it sends a clear message:

They don’t believe in anything.

[Dr Jay Watts @Shrink_at_Large]

LCWRA is the benefit for people who are considered too ill or disabled to be expected to work.

From Monday, new claimants will get about 50% less money.

Same illness. Same disability. Half the support.

That will have serious mental health consequences.

Poverty worsens health.

[Dr_Rebecca @Dr_Bekka_UK]

As of today, Labour’s welfare cuts mean if you become sick or disabled, you get 50% less support. These are people medically unfit for work, being punished for jobs that don't even exist. When In opposition Labour said they would protect the vulnerable. Heartbreaking.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Palantir is burrowing into the heart of the UK's institutions - our health, our defence, our finances.

Join me in telling the govt to send this dangerous company packing:

Disabled people please read and share.

Today NHS England has told me they hold no data on whether hospitals are step free and do not monitor compliance with equality law. That means no one nationally is checking if hospital buildings are physically accessible.

I am a blind journalist investigating this.

Have you been unable to use a main hospital entrance? Sent round the back? Forced to rely on staff? Missed appointments because of access barriers? Treated as an afterthought?

If this has happened to you your experience matters.

Please reply or email [email protected] with what happened and where.

[Caroline Robinson @ScoutMocking]

@LordJohnMann Let me get this straight, you're telling our only Jewish leader of a national party what is & isn't antisemitism?

[Sharmen Rahman @sharmen_r]

Where are the groups representing residents here?

[Autistic Lauren 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈 @Autistic_Lauren]

"I know someone with the same disability and they can do it, so what's your excuse?"

Disabled people aren't always monolith, you know. Just because Person A might be able to do something doesn't mean Person B will be able to

[Laura Elliott @TinyWriterLaura]

this is why the motability tracker was an incitement to violence and we all knew it. congratulations to everyone - including journalists - who participated in the online harassment of disabled people. here are your real-world consequences
