Disability Rights

Repurposed my DogsDogsMoreDog account to use my voice in the fight for disability rights. As a disabled person, we need all the voices we can.

[Disability Rights @TalkThatTalk_K]

This was my original account & why I created it. My girl. My always.
For now, as a disabled person, my voice is needed for my community. We are facing far more struggles, demonisation & hate crimes.
Please stick around. Will always love the dog content & your pups.
Thank you!

[Disability Rights @TalkThatTalk_K]

I started this account as a tribute to my girl, my always, who I’m lost without.
And to share the love I have for dogs with others like yourselves.
To support others in their happiness, charity needs, your pet grief, or simply sharing moments of dog joy.
Dogs are the best of us.

@KEdge23 None of this is true

[Disability Rights @TalkThatTalk_K]

@mssinenomine This is fucking horrific!!

[Disability Rights @TalkThatTalk_K]

@Carer49 Exactly! No card would cover all the types of products, services, and different shops we have to buy from.

And yep, PIP doesn’t cover the average cost of being disabled.
Max PIP is £766.60 a month, but Scope claims the average extra costs we face are around £1100 per month 🤦🏼‍♀️

[Disability Rights @TalkThatTalk_K]

No, because it’s literally not possible to make cards that would cover the range of services and necessities disabled people have to spend their money on every month.

For all those wondering why Jeremy Vine has an obsession for punching down on disabled people, it’s to cover his own tax evading grift.
He doesn’t want you all focusing on tax evaders and those who do dodgy shit like making their 10 year old daughter a share holder to get around paying their fair share…
Read below and share. He should be accountable.

[Jeremy Vine & Daytime on 5 @JeremyVineOn5]

Should benefit claimants be given ration cards instead of cash?

Chris Philp says the Conservatives would give out ration cards to criminals on benefits to stop them from gambling and buying alcohol.

He said it's worth considering for all claimants.

What do you think?

[Disability Rights @TalkThatTalk_K]

@RJDARLING7 Agreed

[Disability Rights @TalkThatTalk_K]

@Grraarrgh Anyone else doing this in a different job would be sacked.
But we pay her in salary (£100k), her rent, her travel, council tax and bills and THIS is what the taxpayer gets in return for all that money?! 🤦🏼‍♀️

[Disability Rights @TalkThatTalk_K]

Helen Whately being wrong again 🤦🏼‍♀️
This is getting boring, at this point.

Why are people like her able to keep their jobs when she’s so incompetent and can’t fact check a single thing? Plus all we pay her in salary, rent, bills etc 🙄

The increase in UC claimants aren’t new claims. They’re people being migrated over from legacy benefits like ESA. The DWP confirms this.

[Helen Whately MP @Helen_Whately]

There are half a million more people on sickness benefits since Labour came to office.

Their answer: water down the assessments.

Wrong response. I tell @thetimes 👇

[Jess Plant @IAmJessPlant]

When @patmcfaddenmp wants to use PIP to ask "how do we help change your life", implies that disabled people are doing life wrong, and that all disabilities (including chronic illnesses can be "overcome") which just isn't true. Lots of people will need continuing support.

[Disability Rights @TalkThatTalk_K]

@durianrocks @RITB_ PIP fraud rate is 0.3% according to the DWP, themselves.

So no, the fraud is negligible.
Tax evasion however, the DWP said they don’t actually know what billionaires pay in this country…
Says a lot.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

UK benefits are so high...

That they are the lowest in the Developed World.

[Disability Rights @TalkThatTalk_K]

@yorkshirecats @KeighleyCatCare I’m so very sorry for your loss. She looks like such a sweet girl ❤️

[Disability Rights @TalkThatTalk_K]

@dailybritainonx @slimlinesweet If anyone else skipped work like Nigel does, they’d rightly be sacked.
But his job allows him to do this with impunity. He doesn’t care about voters. Him not showing up to vote for their interests proves this.
He takes his supporters for mugs.

[Disability Rights @TalkThatTalk_K]

@Conservatives @yuanyi_z @KemiBadenoch So she is actually saying Black Lives Matter and white lives matter…

Does she not realise what “all lives matter” means? 🤦🏼‍♀️

[Disability Rights @TalkThatTalk_K]

@Longhaired17 @pandyclifford So has everyone. Every penny of benefits goes back into communities. And there are other forms of tax we all pay, not just income tax.

[Disability Rights @TalkThatTalk_K]

@DailyMail @LilNic000 @dignityindying your biased polls you conducted about “most support this bill” when we absolutely don’t…

Let the bill die.
It’s too dangerous. And you’re aware of that but don’t want to back down because of the money you’ve put into it and promises made to god knows who

[Disability Rights @TalkThatTalk_K]

@Charlot4779395 @buddy979967 @SandyofSuffolk He doesn’t have a clue 🤦🏼‍♀️
I’ve clearly explained it twice now and your screenshot shows the max PIP and he replies “that doesn’t include PIP and disability benefits”…
Pip IS the disability benefit and a max of £766.60 a month. But most do not get the full amount.

[Disability Rights @TalkThatTalk_K]

It literally says at the top that’s the max amount for PIP. Which totals £766.60 per month. Most people do not get the full amount though.

Carer’s allowance doesn’t go to the disabled person. It goes to the carer and the get sod all.
PIP is the disability payment. There isn’t another.

[Disability Rights @TalkThatTalk_K]

The max disability benefit is £766.60 a month, Paisley.
That is the max amount you can get for PIP.
So the £23k benefit cap is including other benefits. But most people are nowhere near the cap.
I get £11k a year to survive on. My pensioner Mum gets almost double the amount I do.
If that helps you get some perspective

[Disability Rights @TalkThatTalk_K]

@jjarichardson Racists care more about immigration than they do about disabled people in their country.

They don’t care about benefit cuts if it means “getting the immigrants out” 🤦🏼‍♀️

[Disability Rights @TalkThatTalk_K]

@acameron375 @WoollerEmma That’s ridiculous! They don’t even know what patients are coming in for?
