We know that life costs more for disabled people.
And @Scope's 2025 #DisabilityPriceTag report shows that the costs are spiralling.
Read the full Price Tag report on Scope’s website: https://t.co/9acKwurLuK
The extra cost of being disabled in UK will rise by almost 12% in five years, says @scope. That means finding another £15k a year just to live at the same standard as non-disabled people.
But MPs should cut PIP tomorrow, right? Seems logical and humane? https://t.co/EAaKTNtzoY
Life costs more for disabled people. And the costs are rising 📈
In 2025, disabled households would need an extra £1,095 per month to have the same standard of living as non-disabled households.
This is called the #DisabilityPriceTag 💷
@EmmGoldstein84 @Petercu72222993 @RichardBurgon Given that the @scope the disability charity state the #DisabilityPriceTag is over £1000 per month for disabled folk, it's clear that PIP levels are still insufficient to ensure disabled folk remain independent,able to participate equitably in society which is a basic human right
As the government talks about removing benefits from #disabled people, @scope's #DisabilityPriceTag report finds on average, disabled households need an extra £1,010 every month just to have the same standard of living as non-disabled households.

We don't need to be grateful, it's the right thing that our country supports those in need when they need help. Remember folks, we my not pay Income Tax, but we pay proportionately more indirect tax due to the #DisabilityPriceTag, currently over £1000 per month acc to @scope
Here's a non-disabled person who claims he's not a bigot
While Being A Bigot.
My crime?
Not being 'grateful' to him for receiving disability benefits.
Back on @GMB tomorrow at 7:10 AM
The government is planning brutal cuts to welfare support that will be catastrophic for disabled people, half of who already live in poverty.
See you there bright and early 🫡

Extra costs for disabled households keep increasing, yet requests for unpaid work remain rampant.
If you're a disabled freelancer or self-employed worker, it's time to take action—fill in Fair Dues today!

At 3'10, I can’t just buy clothes off the rail—I have to tailor everything, but still manage to look professional without a PM’s salary. I have to look presentable working on TV & keynote speaking.
Maybe I should start accepting donors for my wardrobe too!

Why are disabled people poorer?
A personal example.
Called wheelchair company
Asked to buy used powerchair
Given quote
Found exact chair their buying to resell to me
They're charging: NEARLY DOUBLE THE COST
Consumer protection: NONE
#DisabilityPriceTag
I only get a lower rate and it comes nowhere near the costs of being disabled. Research @scope #DisabilityPriceTag "even after taking #PIP into account, the average #disabled household faces extra costs of £975 per month."

Busy few days ahead. @marionfellows debate on the #DisabilityPriceTag in the morning, followed by @theSNP opp day on cost-of-living & Brexit. Then, on Wednesday, a busy day at @CommonsWorkPen for our select committee hearing on benefit levels in the UK.
Life costs more if you're disabled.
The government has to provide better support, especially during the #CostOfLiving crisis.
Powerful piece from our friend @ShaniDhanda on the financial cost of disability 👇
#DisabilityPriceTag @scope
The price tag that comes with a disability should shame us all, and it’s clear that we need action. We want to live our lives to the full, contribute to society and get on in life. Extra costs make that increasingly difficult. https://t.co/GaDJkFpB4V
#ExtraCosts #DisabilityPriceTag @scope
"On average, disabled households (with at least one disabled adult or child) need an additional £975 a month to have the same standard of living as non-disabled households"
Latest stats on the #DisabilityPriceTag from @scope 💷 Link: https://t.co/GiSQPT92fu
Disabled people shouldn’t face a financial burden for something that’s out of their control.
📢 If you agree, email your MP, share our research, and support our work to campaign for change. Challenge the idea that this is just the way it has to be.

I should be on the @itvnews at 1.30pm, 6.30pm and 10pm talking about extra costs with a disability- unless there is new breaking news!
As @scope release the new disability price tag.

Non-disabled people and their inaccessible decisions cost us disabled people more than just money. It affects our mental health and our chance at having any financial stability. Living in an inaccessible society cannot continue to cost the earth.

I hope @marksandspencer or such link up with this lady to make affordable, accessible clothing with no #disabilitypricetag There is so much money to make #purplepound #dragonsden
Here’s a crappy thing about #Disability. People don’t ask you to stay in their homes. They assume it’ll be too hard. Sometimes that’s true. But I really wish people would ask instead of assuming. #DisabilityPriceTag
It's no longer a case of choosing between "heating and eating". Many disabled people can't do either and are in falling further into debt and arrears on bills.

91% of disabled people are worried about energy bills this winter @scope. Thank you @MartinSLewis @susannareid100 for highlighting this issue on @GMB. £150 is a tokenist gesture; whilst we welcome this support, this amount of money doesn't begin to scratch the surface. A thread🧵
