This is the DWP the public need to understand. A Kafkaesque system of impossible to understand, contradictory rules which folk often innocently trip up on to which they receive a brutal, excessive response that plunges people into despair and poverty. The DWP needs to fix itself.
ALT A family of three sits together on a floral-patterned sofa, holding hands and smiling gently at one another. The mother, Oksana Shahar, is in the centre with long dark curly hair, flanked by her husband, Guy Shahar, on the left, and their teenage son on the right, who wears a white polo shirt with a school logo. The headline below reads: “Carer’s allowance crisis – Mother of autistic boy left with £10,000 debt after breaching DWP rules by £1.92 a week.” Subheading: “Over five-year period Oksana Shahar – who cares for her son – was paid a small amount more than carer’s allowance earnings limits allow.” The article is written by Josh Halliday and dated Saturday 3 May 2025.
🚨URGENT: On Wed 7 May, 2:30–4:30pm, MPs will debate PIP and its impact on disabled people in Westminster Hall. This goes beyond party lines—it’s about survival, dignity, and compassion. Please ask your MP to attend and speak up: tinyurl.com/y8jjyf29#WelfareNotWarfare
2,000 autistic and learning disabled people are locked away under the Mental Health Act. Detentions are rising. The new Mental Health Bill won’t fix this. Disabled people are demanding real change but the government refuses to meet. Pls support tomorrow: tinyurl.com/jtutdy9a
ALT Flyer titled “Bring People Home from Psychiatric Hospital.”
Subheading: “Campaign led by People with Learning Difficulties/Disabilities and Autistic People.”
It advertises a Day of Action on Tuesday, 29 April 2025, at Westminster and the Department for Health and Social Care, from 11:30am to 3pm.

The existence of causality is not the great comfort you want it to be. “Everything happens for a reason”? Get outta here with that bullshit.
Benignly,
ThanksCancer
Things my mental illness sometimes stops me doing..
• picking up the phone
• leaving the house
• eating healthy
• exercising
• laughing
• doing my hair or makeup
• getting dressed
Sometimes being able to do one of these things is a victory.
Retweet if you understand
As a fellow CSE SURVIVOR today has seriously effected me
I urge any CSE survivor effected to reach out to trusted people or even a helpline/group for survivors
