#CovidInquiry

#TheTimes

The Times has blocked Disability News Service from alerting its readers to research which exposed how previous reforms to out-of-work disability benefits led to hundreds of deaths of disabled people in the early 2010s.

#TheExperiment

[Wheelie MS Advocate - #PoweredByExperience - ♿️ @WheelieFUMS]

Watching The Experiment on Channel 4 brought back conversations I'd had many years ago.

A nursing sister I worked alongside at Nuffield told me about disturbing practices she'd personally witnessed while working at De La Pole Hospital in East Yorkshire.

I've also heard troubling accounts concerning Brandesburton Hospital.

These are accounts shared with me, rather than allegations I've independently verified, but they've stayed with me.

Britain has its own history of institutionalising disabled people, and this programme reminded me why dignity, choice and independent living matter so much.

Care should never mean control.

#TheExperiment

Austerity cuts - financial support stripped back, social care packages cut led to further marginalisation, poverty.
Disabled people are dying as a result of austerity policy
Covid Pandemic disabled people’s rights ripped up. Disabled ppl disposable. Many died

[DPAC @Dis_PPL_Protest]

@Chimic79 We live with increasing hostility & appalling societal attitudes every day. Hate crime has skyrocketed as a result. You know that John. With the rise of reform and restore attitudes will only worsen. People are getting more blatant with it

If you claim PIP or range of other benefits, you can now check online to find out when your next payment is due & how much you will receive. The service also shows payments made during the previous 3 months & could save you call to PIP helpline.
