The definition of disability should never be reduced to a checklist of tasks. The ability to wash, dress, manage finances, or socialize does not negate the presence of a disability. A person’s disability is defined by the challenges they face in navigating the world, not by their occasional ability to perform basic tasks.

Pain, especially when it’s invisible or fluctuating, is difficult to measure, explain, and prove. The PIP assessment system, designed to support people with additional care or mobility needs, often falls short in recognising the daily impact of pain, leaving many to feel dismissed, doubted, or denied.
Living with an invisible disability is a silent struggle, one that is often met with doubt, judgment, and unsolicited advice. The absence of visible symptoms often leads others, sometimes even friends or family, to minimise or dismiss the very real impact such conditions have on daily life. This ableist mindset can be harmful, especially when it’s cloaked in “concern” or feigned expertise.
