I didn’t know about this latest example of anti-social digital media. Judging by the replies it’s far from uncommon. What a time to be a teenager. 😔

Thanks for clarification & the approach being taken by the Scottish Gov. This will help reduce the stress & anxiety for many disabled people in Scotland The full on attack by the UK Gov on disabled people, & those most vulnerable in our society, is disgusting but not surprising.

Today's emphasis on PIP reform has nothing to do with the reality of who is supported by it nor the process itself (which already has a high acceptance bar), and everything to do with a desperate and dying government cruelly targeting disabled people to keep themselves in office.

Part of the government's rationale for introducing PIP a decade ago was that DLA (which it replaced) was 'outdated' & didn't properly recognise mental health problems Now the 'misuse' of PIP for mental health is the rationale for trying to cut costs...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…
#Scotland 's is - well, better than yours is. No chance of doing some actual evidence based policy, is there? or are we just going to ignore the last 30 years of #AcademicTwitter research on #WelfareWork and just burn down the house before a general election? #disabilitytwitter

Hospitals continuing to be some of the most inaccessible places for people with long term conditions. At least some things aren’t getting worse in healthcare, just staying the same.
I’ll send the Tory Party a “receipt” for what I spend my disability benefits on when they send me a receipt for what they’re spending my taxes on. I’ll stop when they can be trusted not to waste it on bungs to their mates for dodgy PPE or shipping asylum seekers to Rwanda.

I'm happy to provide a briefing on PIP for any struggling politicians and journalists so that when you discuss it you actually understand what it is and what it is used for. I won't even charge you for my time and expertise!
Why do politicians make this same mistake over and over and over again? Their offices must deal with cases about it on a daily basis, there’s no excuse to not understand this fundamental distinction.
Whatever the motivation, the fact they clearly don’t give a shit about 'the optics' is revealing
Hmm? Announcing doing away with PIP on the same day parliament debates assisted dying? Do I see a theme?
How to help people with mental health issues into employment: cause them severe financial stress. Aye, that’ll do it. WTF is wrong with these people?

There are some days when getting a hot meal delivered might make a big difference but it’s just becoming completely unaffordable. Higher prices, app fees, minimum orders for delivery that are excessive for a single meal. Today is one of those days.

Had such a good night with little miss last night and she’s been so happy all day. She’s starting to recognise things now and smiles at them ! Here’s hoping for another good night 🥰
@TheOldLostRoad I’ve written a few times on my opinion of Starmer’s approach to benefits. But I’ll be celebrating when the Tories are wiped out - and then pushing Labour to be as good as possible.
Disabled people having vouchers instead of cash benefits buys into the idea we are scroungers who can’t be trusted not to spend the cash on fags and booze. When the Tories get their arse handed to them at the election, I’m spending my PIP on fucking champagne.
Vouchers not cash in an attempt to improve the health of disabled people bit.ly/4bheBPQ
Disabled people already lose so much autonomy. We have our agency taken away by hospital staff, caregivers, loved ones etc because ppl have normalized not listening to us. Financial independence is critical to survival - the proposal below is needlessly cruel.

@wafu23RN Really? Or just park of a continuing dialogue that disabled people are an expense we can't afford? While billionaires get richer day by day?

Thanks for clarification & the approach being taken by the Scottish Gov. This will help reduce the stress & anxiety for many disabled people in Scotland The full on attack by the UK Gov on disabled people, & those most vulnerable in our society, is disgusting but not surprising.
My response to the UK Govt DWP announcement on PIP - “Disability payments in Scotland are not means-tested. They are they for all of us should we need them in recognition of the additional costs faced by disabled people and those with long-term health conditions. 1/2
Today's emphasis on PIP reform has nothing to do with the reality of who is supported by it nor the process itself (which already has a high acceptance bar), and everything to do with a desperate and dying government cruelly targeting disabled people to keep themselves in office.
Outrageous to suggest stripping cash payments from those struggling with mental health, replacing them with vague promises of 'meaningful support'. This is not support, it's abandonment. thetimes.co.uk/article/sickne…

Our disability benefit system isn’t working how it should be. That's why we're reforming it, targeting support to those who need it most and ending the one-size fits all approach. We'll always protect the vulnerable, but must make sure the system is sustainable for the future.
Only a hospital rheumatology clinic, would give 9am appointments, tell you on the letter to allow plenty of time, then lock the door until 9am, meaning people who mostly will be in pain having to stand for over 20 mins as all the staff go in. Care? Compassion? @Leic_hospital
I’ll send the Tory Party a “receipt” for what I spend my disability benefits on when they send me a receipt for what they’re spending my taxes on. I’ll stop when they can be trusted not to waste it on bungs to their mates for dodgy PPE or shipping asylum seekers to Rwanda.
I understand there's an SQA Modern Studies exam tomorrow.

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
@FindlayEquality @BBCRadio4 Labour are every bit as poor in their understanding of PIP. Honestly I cannot imagine ever doing any media on an issue I haven't done my homework on. This is too important for misinformation to be put out there.
