"Disability groups 'stepping back' over benefit cuts"
Disabled peoples organisations say there has been a lack of genuine engagement from Labour & are considering stepping back from working with the government.

Fazilet Hadi, DR UK Head of Policy, gave evidence to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill Committee.

She highlighted the importance of “nothing about us without us”, ableism in the NHS, and the impact this bill would have in an already unequal society.

Thank you to our amazing trustees who strive for continuous improvement, to be better and ensure that we represent the rich diversity of our community. #CharityGov2024

Today, the Government have yet again gone on the attack by singling out Disabled people as a burden on the benefits system.
Utterly untrue, but we continue to be the whipping community for ALL government economic failure.
Enough. This is just cruelty.

The work & pensions minister says the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is "thousands of pounds a month"

If you qualify for the higher weekly rate & get the mobility part you get £184.30 per week, which works out at £798.63/month. So you don't get thousands of pounds a month

This week we made closing submissions with other Disabled People’s Orgs #CovidInquiryUK, noting Disabled ppl were invisible in pandemic planning. The next day, the Govt decided there should no longer be a dedicated Minister for Disabled people. Their actions speak volumes 🧵

[Disability Rights UK @DisRightsUK]

At the #CovidInquiryUK today, after offering a hollow and meaningless apology Boris Johnson fails to take any responsibility and instead chooses to blame the dead.

[Disability Rights UK @DisRightsUK]

Any legislation that attacks the universality of human rights sets a dangerous precedent for everyone. Disabled migrants exist and they will face additional barriers and rights abuses.

We're proud to stand with these 174 orgs to oppose the Illegal Migration Bill.

Happy New Year everyone…. We are sorry for the silence. A combination of health issues, work load and study has kept us away almost all of last year. We are working on getting going again this year. We hope you will follow us and get involved. Thank you and Happy New Year
