How horrific. And grounded in truth.
The disabled folks we talked to for the #DSPinquiry gave examples of having applied to or worked for these organisations, and the ways they were excluded or harmed. Disabled people are being blocked from helping each other. #DisabilityRC
ACOSS & disability orgs have spurned the #DSPinquiry recommendations to "consider, investigate & review" Disability Support Pension eligibility, application processes & the poverty it forces on us.
Full statement is linked below & you can read ours here: https://t.co/vjuPInAP7E
ACOSS @PWDAustralia @AfdoOffice @ceda_news and @NEDA_PeakBody urge the government to take responsibility and act on addressing the level of need and distress that people with #disability experience while trying to survive on #IncomeSupport.

The government should review the eligibility and medical evidence requirements for the Disability Support Pension and abandon the “punitive compliance measures” placed on applicants, a Senate committee said

The time for reviews is over. We need action, now.
ty @lukehgomes for your reporting of the #DSPinquiry
STATEMENT: Response to today's deeply disappointing #DSPinquiry report, sadly filled with weak requests that won't lift disabled people out of poverty & won't save them from brutal 'mutual' obligations

"It's unfair, harmful and unviable to force disabled people to try and survive on an unemployment payment that isn't even liveable for people who aren't disabled."

Tomorrow the #DSPinquiry report is out.
ty @emcpherson_9 for the story https://t.co/Wh1XW4g1E7
Intro of new #DSP Assessment Tables now delayed until April 2023. Makes sense - the pending Senate #DSPinquiry report can inform the review. EJA's sub re Tables at https://t.co/VWEsUT8C5M @PWDAustralia @AfdoOffice @CancerCouncil @AUMentalHealth #auspol
More on next week's #DisabilityRC hearing on addressing barriers to open #employment, including links to relevant @DRC_AU resources, our twitter threads from the last employment hearing, and our joint submission to the #DSPInquiry with @antipovertycent

People with #disability should not have to be worried about food security in a country like Australia. What does that say about us as a country? We have a right to live with dignity and an adequate standard of living. To live free and equal #DSPInquiry
Australia’s disability discrimination commissioner Ben Gauntlett has told the #DSPinquiry that there's a need to “actively consider” whether DSP eligibility requirements and rates are “fit for purpose”, reports @SBSNews. https://t.co/exQElZdefe #DSPreformNow
Govt rules deny young pilot with brain cancer #DisabilitySupportPension, reports @GuardianAus - because his condition has not been "fully treated". Read report - https://t.co/PFYnqOJOVw. Read EJA sub to #DSPinquiry - https://t.co/hxU9LL4ilC Get advice - https://t.co/rxxeMpYN9h
Incredible line from the Department of Social Services to the #DSPinquiry: "Even though it's called a program of support, it's not actually a program, it's an eligibility criteria." Therefore, they say, it doesn't need to be evaluated.
The stress of mutual obligation – if you are not well and can’t attend an appointment you then have to live with the stress of having your payments cut off, further exacerbating health issues #DSPInquiry
It’s not just the payment rate, people assessed as having partial capacity to work have a higher Medicare safety net, impacting their ability to access health services and prescriptions #DSPInquiry
Payments system needs to recognise people with fluctuating health conditions – any new payment would need to take into account this group #DSPInquiry
Lack of access to DSP is particular acute for women over 45 year and people in regional and remote communities, particularly first nations communities #DSPInquiry
People living with mental health illnesses are frequently assessed as having partial capacity to work and kept off the DSP due to the fully diagnosed and stabilised condition #DSPInquiry
Immediate review of DSP impairment tables, removal of fully diagnosed and stabilised condition is needed to ensure the DSP can be accessed by everyone that needs it #DSPInquiry
Listen in as @Dina_Bowman shares findings from our #DeadEnds report with the Senate Inquiry into the DSP #DSPInquiry
@dameadvocate Many people living with cancer can't get the DSP, and other chronic illnesses such as FASD and renal dialysis, when clearly they are all disabling. Need for reform and better way of understanding disability in our community. #DSPInquiry
