#Motability

Today disabled drivers under 30 have to have a black box fitted to their Motability car & a 10 day window to do so.

Note 4 red assessments and driver faces removal from motability scheme completely

Punishing the disabled driver

Total discrimination

York DPAC has members residing in North Yorkshire and will oppose parking charges for blue badge holders. We regard this as a cut to existing arrangements that will adversely affect disabled people on low, fixed incomes who have no alternative to driving.

[Flick Williams @flickhwilliams]

Advance warning⚠️North Yorks Council have stated their intent to charge blue badge holders in all car parks from Ripon to Selby & Scarborough to Harrogate. Seem not to understand the PSED or reasonable adjustments either. Get ready to #FightBack

[DPAC Northern Ireland @DPACNIreland]

Disabled people in England have been betrayed by the weakening of accessible housing standards. The @NIOgov must not copy @UKLabour's failure.

This isn’t reform, it’s a political choice to build exclusion into the future.

It’s starting to feel dangerous to be disabled — not because of our bodies, but because of how the government talks about us. When leaders frame us as burdens or costs, it fuels public resentment.

I can feel the hostility growing and growing.

Disabled people deserve dignity and safety, not stigma or scapegoating.

#Budget2025 We welcome the removal of the 2 child benefit cap to lift children out of poverty.
We are however confused by the position taken by the MP for York Outer, Luke Charters, who voted against lifting it in July 2024. What changed ?

@RachelReevesMP looking at increasing the scope for benefit fraud & extending UC Reviews
Claimants are treated like criminals in the benefit system
Fraud is at very low levels
Go after rich tax avoiders and corporations who avoid paying tax
Make the rich pay

#Budget2025

removing bigger motability cars with immediate effect will have a horrendous impact on disabled people.

Work and pensions secretary Pat McFadden has failed to apologise after he misled MPs about his department’s system for pushing sick and disabled people into work.

#DNRs

Still it continues, DNRs placed on people with learning difficulties without their knowledge & consent. This is totally unacceptable and must stop! The NHS yet again showing disabled people are disposable
