📰 DR UK in @theipaper: “Rather than focusing on blaming us, it is the policies of the DWP that are not working. Their punishing approach, which is obsessed with austerity, sanctions and conditionality, has fuelled increases in disability and sickness.” inews.co.uk/news/pip-disab…
Disability Rights UK are working with @BBCNewsnight on a programme on carers, DWP and overpayments. If you are an affected carer willing to talk, please email: [email protected] for details.
PIP Reform Green Paper’s Clear Agenda Is Reducing Financial Support To Disabled People Says @DisRightsUK Read the full story here: disabilityrightsuk.org/news/pip-refor…

Disability Rights UK responds to todays benefit announcement which reads as a crackdown on Disabled claimants! Read the full statement here: 👇 disabilityrightsuk.org/news/dr-uk-res…
People don't choose to be on disability benefits. It's their last resort. Stop blaming people with mental health problems. If the Secretary of State wants a grown-up conversation about this, then he should meet with us. We've sent an invite. 1/3
📰 DR UK in the @BigIssue : “At the end of the day, we all want the right support when we need it… these dangerous changes, which, if unchecked, will make the UK’s social security system, already one of Western Europe’s least generous, even worse” bigissue.com/news/social-ju…
The stated purpose of disability benefits is to compensate disabled people for the inevitable extra cost *of being disabled*. It's not intended to pay for medical treatment or routine living costs - we have the NHS and income-related benefits for that. 🧵theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
Part of the government's rationale for introducing PIP a decade ago was that DLA (which it replaced) was 'outdated' & didn't properly recognise mental health problems Now the 'misuse' of PIP for mental health is the rationale for trying to cut costs... 🧵 thetimes.co.uk/article/sickne…
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. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

the reality could not be more different and the Rwanda policy takes us even further from justice and from the UN recommendation bit.ly/3UcQ9YP @Dis_PPL_Protest @DisRightsUK @JCWI_UK @raparuk @NSUNnews @migrantsorg @MiMoBristol @bdascasylum @BrilLiving
The UN recommends the UK 'ensure... migrants, asylum-seekers and those with disabilities in refugee-like situations are able to enjoy the right to live independently and be included in the community and the right to an adequate standard of living and social protection' Instead:
The UN Committee on the Rights of Disabled People has just reported on the situation in the UK tbinternet.ohchr.org/_layouts/15/Tr… The report includes specific reference to deep concern about the inadequate support for 'disabled refugees, asylum seekers and those in refugee-like situations'
The Cmmttee is deeply concerned by reports disabled refugees, asylum seekers & those in refugee-like situations don’t receive adequate benefits/support to live in the community/are experiencing challenges in obtaining PAs, assistive devices accessible housing & essential supports
1 in 3 disabled renters are forced to live in unsuitable homes. Despite the availability of government funding, landlords often decline requests to make homes accessible. I tabled an amendment to the Renters Reform Bill to stop landlords unreasonably refusing home adaptations.
