Judging someone’s capacity based on fleeting abilities rather than lived experience is a disservice—not only to the person, but to the very purpose of disability support systems.

The UK Government’s Quiet War on Disabled People: Are Human Rights Under Threat?

The UK government’s approach to disability rights, mental health legislation, and human rights law is cause for serious concern. These policies, when combined, could lead to a society where disabled individuals are stripped of their autonomy, denied financial support, and placed under state control. If we do not act now, we risk allowing history to repeat itself. The rights of disabled people must not be sacrificed in the name of cost-cutting measures. It is time to push back against policies that prioritize financial savings over human dignity.

DWP’s Green Paper Consultation: A Flawed and Misleading Exercise?

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has recently come under fire for its “Pathways to Work: Reforming Benefits and Support to Get Britain Working” Green Paper, which proposes significant changes to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Universal Credit (UC).

Understanding Invisible Disabilities, Recognizing the Unseen Challenges

The government’s proposed benefit reforms are not just a bureaucratic shift—they are a direct attack on the dignity, autonomy, and survival of disabled people. By making it harder to claim PIP and coercing individuals into unsuitable work, these policies will lead to a national crisis, affecting not just the disabled community but the economy, healthcare system, and society as a whole. It is time for disabled individuals, advocacy groups, and legal professionals to unite and challenge these injustices before they become irreversible.
