YOUR DAILY REMINDER THAT PIP IS NOT AN 'OUT OF WORK' BENEFIT. MP's and the media are lying to you.

Hot on the heels of widespread Labour defeat comes Luke Charters MP proposals for a ‘youth triple lock’. He says “young people are a generation with their backs against the wall”. How then do you justify removing benefits from disabled under 22s⁉️

These stunts sicken me. That’s all they are, stunts. How many blind people regularly walk round with an entourage and a bloody cameraman to keep them safe? Ban black shades face.
Now the MP for York Outer’s turn to cosplay at being blind. Suggest his time would be better spent investigating why actual blind people are having their benefits miscalculated by DWP. My Sight York does valuable work but this is not part of it. Not consistent with #SocialModel

We are increasingly concerned at Disability Action Haringey about government and Motability Foundation scheme changes and what they mean for disabled people. Our CEO Phil Stevens has written about some of the impact, but more worrying impacts are still emerging. We know this will affect people’s independence and daily lives. This is not reform. It’s the erosion of rights. @InclusionBarnet @InclusionLondon @camdenDisAction @Ruils @ChoiceinHackney @InIslington @RichardBurgon @Motability @MotabilityOps @DWP @johnpringdns Read more: d-a-h.org/index.php/get-invo…

Need to review their timetable. Disabled People can’t wait that long for a bloody bus or train.

We joined with 70 other organisations and MP Neil Duncan-Jordan to tell Sir Stephen Timms that the Government's changes to Motability are putting disabled people's independence at risk. He needs to meet with us and hear our members' experiences. Read more: bit.ly/4rLxLVS

#AssistedDyingBill #Scotland And 60% worry that if disabled people are living in poverty, with benefits being cut, they may turn to assisted suicide rather than struggle financially. For disabled people polled, that figure is 70%.

Disabled ppl were recently asked by @YNYCombined what we wanted to see at York station. What nobody asked for was the concourse to be turned into a performance area with crowds blocking egress & the passenger assist area shunted into the corner with nowhere to sit #AccessFail

** Reduced water bills for disabled households announced ** Low-income disabled households with a water meter will get reduced water bills as part of reform to the WaterSure scheme in England and Wales. Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Attendance Allowance will join the list of qualifying benefits for the scheme, the government has announced. A change to price cap rules will also see most existing WaterSure claimants save up to £100 each. The reforms will come into force in early 2027. Water companies in England must adopt the changes, but in Wales the changes will be voluntary. Read all the details in our news story: contact.org.uk/about-contact…

To most people, data isn’t sexy. But bear with us while we get our geek on! Data shapes town planning. Planning shapes access. When Disabled people aren’t in the data, we’re not in the plan. That's where our research comes in. Better insight. Better planning. Better access.
