There's a basic flaw in Universal Credit support for disabled people in-work:

To qualify for in-work support, disabled people must be found unfit to work.

Having repeatedly highlighted this absurdity to ministers, I again demanded this illogical & damaging policy is fixed 1/2

[Marsha de Cordova @MarshadeCordova]

Both @BorisJohnson & @Jeremy_Hunt say they would push a catastrophic No Deal through Parliament. This would particularly hit disabled people.

Today I called on the government to do what it's so far failed to do: Carry out an assessment a No Deal would have on disabled people 1/2

To mark Nystagmus Awareness Day, I called on the @CommonsLeader to make government time to debate issues confronting people with nystagmus and on the importance of registering blind or partially sighted.
