For both abled and disabled individuals, property transactions can be stressful, particularly if mobility, mental health, or accessibility needs are overlooked. Therefore, it’s essential to work with professionals who understand these challenges and can provide tailored support throughout the process.
Recent revelations have highlighted disturbing cases of DWP staff committing benefit fraud, stealing funds meant for people living in poverty, with disabilities, or nearing the end of their lives. These are not just administrative errors; these are deliberate criminal acts carried out by individuals who know the system inside and out.
For millions of people in the UK living with chronic pain, applying for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) can feel like a battle against an invisible enemy. 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 chronic pain is an invisible battle that millions face daily. For those undergoing Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessments in the UK, proving the extent and frequency of pain becomes yet another source of suffering. In today’s tech-driven society, there is an urgent need to develop wearable pain recognition tools, especially via mainstream devices like the Apple Watch.
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.
Raynaud’s disease (also known as Raynaud’s phenomenon or syndrome) is a circulatory condition that affects blood flow to certain parts of the body, usually the fingers and toes. When exposed to cold temperatures or stress, the small blood vessels in the extremities constrict excessively, leading to pain, numbness, tingling, colour changes, and functional limitations.
Dropshipping is a business model that allows entrepreneurs to sell products online without holding inventory. Instead of stocking goods, the store sells the product, and then passes the sales order to a third-party supplier who ships the product directly to the customer. This model has a low barrier to entry, minimal upfront investment, and is perfect for people wanting to start an eCommerce business from home.
There has never been a more empowering time to start a business from scratch, especially if you are long-term unemployed, disabled, or seeking independence from a system that doesn’t always serve you. With government policy actively encouraging people to return to work, including those who face barriers due to disability or health, starting your own business can be a powerful, self-directed solution. You gain not only control over your income and routine but also protection from benefit sanctions, while still receiving financial support as you build your dream from the ground up.
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.
An urgent letter from the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) to the UK government has sparked outrage and concern within the disability community. The correspondence, sent Monday evening (07/07/25), follows a coordinated campaign by disabled people’s organisations (DPOs) who presented damning evidence of how the proposed cuts to out-of-work disability benefits could worsen the lives of thousands of disabled people.
