The panel is billed as a way to “listen to, learn from, and collaborate with” Deaf and disabled people and people with long-term health conditions. It will include up to 10 members and advise across health and disability policy.

Smart doorbells such as Ring, Nest, and Eufy have grown in popularity due to their convenience and added security.

Traveling with a disability or hidden condition takes planning, but it shouldn’t stop you from seeing the world.

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.
Categorizing individuals with Short Bowel Syndrome as having Limited Capability for Work (LCW) under Universal Credit, implying they may be expected to work in the future, reflects an ableist and medically inaccurate stance. Unlike conditions that can improve over time, Short Bowel Syndrome is a lifelong and progressive disorder that only deteriorates as the body struggles with chronic malabsorption, fatigue, and related complications. To suggest that someone with SBS may one day become fit for work ignores the stark medical reality and places them in unnecessary financial and emotional distress.
Traveling can be a challenging experience for anyone, but for those living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), it often comes with unique considerations and hurdles. Whether it’s navigating airports, enduring long-haul flights, or managing symptoms in unfamiliar environments, preparation is essential.
