DWP reveals latest excuse for refusing to tell the truth about cuts to Access to Work
https://t.co/H0egJdo11l

[Disability News Service @johnpringdns]

The government should halt its cuts and reforms to Access to Work and commission new research to show exactly how important the scheme is to the disabled people who rely on it to stay working, according to a new report.

Government ‘must listen’ to new report which calls for DWP to research importance of Access to Work

NEW REPORT - Access to Work cuts being made without any sound data. Deaf and disabled people losing work - this goes against the government’s rhetoric. https://t.co/siSV2fA69K

Our new report shows government lack any of the data needed to justify any changes to the Access to Work scheme - cutting support is not how you “get disabled people into work”! https://t.co/siSV2fA69K

All Work, No Pay? Interpreters and deaf professionals face chaos due to delayed Access to Work payments https://t.co/IqsMoPGMVE

[StopChanges2AtW @StopChanges2AtW]

Unfortunately, late payments (as reported in @Limping_Chicken) are nothing new. All these are issues we raised in our recommendations and Barriers to Work report that we launched in 2017. Read them here: https://t.co/da3IsEVAfB.

Our recommendations from our report published in October 2017. https://t.co/CHuS3sLVw9

@hccath @BSLterplife @DWP @guardian @BBCNews @BBCWatchdog @NUBSLI The system has been set up so that the contract is with with the Deaf/disabled person not AtW. This means interpreters taking Deaf people to court. This is also how they can avoid late payment fees. Unfair on AtW users, interpreters and support workers.

Massive congratulations to @jerseysnail @FryLegal and all the #WhereIsTheInterpreter team. The Cabinet Office uawfilly discrimated for not providing #BSL access. Full details here: https://t.co/Xv7WoFm856
