@Q_enthusiastUK@JulieWebb467768@garrypickles@PolitlcsUK I would think in the interest of demonising disabled people the DWP would overestimate fraud, but I’m still going to go on stated figures from DWP rather than some bod on SM who has an opinion.
Does the uk public really want disabled people’s financial support withdrawn? Do they really want them punished 4 circumstances they didn’t ask for? Do they really think all disabled people are fakes? Or is it just SM amplifying hate from MSM & MPs?
@tweetmaster153@JamesThrot@pastalbedo So PIP IS a payment to help with bills then isn’t it.
And no, that’s not what the government are saying is it, people in wheelchairs can work already, so other than punishing people for being disabled why take away their PIP?
@tweetmaster153@JamesThrot@pastalbedo PIP is a benefit that helps with additional costs of being disabled, if you have additional utility costs related to disability it would count.
Electric wheelchair, CPAP, dialysis, extra heating, extra laundry, showers…
@JulieWebb467768@garrypickles@PolitlcsUK So what if you have a disability and work?
What if the money you earn isn’t enough to cover the costs of your disability?
@red_dead_fan_@TornadoTheBrit All the parties have the same ideas, it’s not just the young they are attacking, it’s the sick, disabled & elderly too. They hate anyone that’s not rich.
@DaveLukewski@TornadoTheBrit It was a damn hard slog I suspect.
The internet opened up a whole support network 4 disabled people, IRC, chat rooms, basic websites, newsgroups all allowed people with disabilities 2 find others in same situation, & the government want to roll it all back
@GonetoBlueSky8@Steven_Swinford Checking out your profile you seem to be an engineer, business manager & educator.
Maybe you could take some of these young disabled people under your wing & get them into the workforce.
Maybe you’ll even find a magic cure for disability.
@GonetoBlueSky8@Steven_Swinford These young people r disabled, that means.
They do not have the energy for long hours working, maybe they don’t have the money to spend 7 years training to be a medical professional.
You never answered my earlier question regarding care, farm & labouring!
@GonetoBlueSky8@Steven_Swinford 😆 what is enshrined in law isn’t necessarily implemented, ask any disabled person. As 4 claimant numbers doubling, hmm I wonder what could have happened 2 make young people suffer anxiety, I very much doubt being locked away from friends did them much good
@GonetoBlueSky8@Steven_Swinford I think nothing of the sort, but companies simply do not want to employ disabled people! Something about money spent on adjustments & extra insurance.
If you’re disabled & facing the effects of that it doesn’t matter how qualified someone is.
@GonetoBlueSky8@Steven_Swinford How many young people do you know want to go into the care sector or pick fruit? How many disabled young people have the fitness to work in warehousing or construction?
How many jobs actually are there available for the amount of people applying?
