@mpdllaw Mobility Allowance pre dated DLA by decades. Same Attendance Allowance that became the care component of DLA. Motability launched in 1978, I hired my first car in 83.

Also 64k people waiting for their Access to Work applications to be processed many are also in work and having their awards cut - does this sound like disabled ppl don’t want to work !

Govt spin Employment Support failure to seem like a success:

"40% more likely to be in work"

Reality: 8.1% find work on their own, Employment Support adds 3.3% to that (40% extra to those LCWRA who find work on their own)

74,000 of 2.24m could 'benefit' from Employment Support

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Labour MPs are not medically trained to assess disability.

They are simply stigmatising the mentally ill and neurodiverse to chase reform votes.

Disgraceful.

[BuDS Disability Service @BuDs_UK]

BuDS has expressed strong concern about the Interim Report from the Timms Review of Personal Independence Payment (PIP) calling it ‘incomplete’, ‘less than honest’ and ‘calculatedly misleading’.

I’ve got zero tolerance for bigots who say shit like:

🖕“Too many “disabled” people are scamming the system.”

Where’s your proof? I mean actual proof, not pub anecdotes.

🖕“It’s too easy to claim benefits - my mate with tennis elbow gets it.”

Call the dwp, tell them you’ve got acne and ask for money. Let us know how easy it is. I dare you.

🖕“We don’t have a problem with disabled people, only scammers.”

You hate ALL disabled people and want us gone. At least be honest.

🖕“My neighbour gets PIP but there’s nothing wrong with him”

You have access to their medical records, do you? Are you their doctor?

🖕“You scroungers get way more money than me. I work hard so you can sit on your arse.”

Imagine being jealous of a disabled person on benefits, struggling to survive on £300-800 a month. If your job is that low paid, get a better job. 🤷‍♀️

And let’s swap: if you want the benefits, you can take our disabilities too.

I’m done with ableist scumbags polluting my timeline with ignorance and hate. I’m done being polite. If you attack me or my disabled friends, I will fight back.

They can fuck all the way off to hell.

We should not tolerate the intolerant.

[Sandrabentley💙 @SanB1964]

@Helen_Whately @TheSun You don’t live our lives yet you tell us how to live. The hatred you fuel is out of control because of your inaccuracies. Neurodivergence does in fact stop some people working they will hv other conditions to get upper rate of Pip @ThrivingBut
