@crazycrowflies We don’t currently have any members in East Yorkshire.
Thatsaid, if you are experiencing the problems outlined above we should like to hear and can provide further information that may be of assistance in this situation.
Calling disabled people in #York - If you are a legacy benefit claimant transitioned onto UC facing a much higher council tax bill, and reduced council tax support, please contact us on [email protected]
#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.
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
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.
Eugenics: Past, Present and Future 4th December 2025 at 6pm over Zoom. Last chance to book via Eventbrite.
It has been decided not to record the session, so this is the only chance to join, watch and discuss. Free event. Open to all.
If you are a disabled person or carer for a disabled person in #York you might want to tune in for my public participation slot at this afternoon’s meeting. No spoilers but I plan to leave executive members stunned. Bring popcorn 🍿🍿🍿🍿. #DisabilityRights#FightBack
#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 ?
#Budget2025@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.

#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
