Proposal to Replace PIP with ACDP Gains Momentum

At DisabledEntrepreneur.uk, we support the ACDP approach because it is designed by disabled people, for disabled people, and recognises the full reality of daily barriers. We reject any system that forces claimants to “prove” their disability-related costs with receipts or spending controls, as this strips people of dignity and human rights. Disabled people know best how to manage their own lives and finances; what they need is trust, fair support, and recognition of the extra costs they face, not surveillance.

Smart Doorbell Privacy Laws, How to Avoid Breaking The Law

Smart doorbells such as Ring, Nest, and Eufy have grown in popularity due to their convenience and added security. However, many homeowners and tenants don’t realise that installing these devices without following proper privacy laws can land them in legal hot water. Surveillance technology can be both a deterrent to crime and a potential invasion of privacy if not used correctly.

How To Deal With People With Ableist Attidudes

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.

Protecting Your Finances in Case of Hospitalisation or Sanctions

Emergencies rarely come with warnings. Whether it’s a sudden illness, an accident, or a worsening of a long-term condition, being hospitalised unexpectedly can make it impossible to manage your everyday financial obligations. For disabled individuals, carers, or people living with chronic illnesses, preparing in advance for such scenarios can provide peace of mind and protect your financial stability.

Disability and Poverty: Breaking the Cycle of Inequality

Disability and poverty are deeply intertwined, and when they co-exist, the barriers multiply.

According to recent research, including findings from The Childhood Trust, the cost of living crisis has placed even more strain on already stretched services, making it harder for social workers to meet the needs of families with disabled children.
