Disability and Poverty: Breaking the Cycle of Inequality

Disability and poverty are deeply intertwined, and when they co-exist, the barriers multiply. Families with disabled children are more likely to experience financial hardship, social exclusion, and mental health challenges, yet they often receive the least support. 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.

Universal Credit and Council Tax Discounts: Why You Must Contact Your Local Authority

Universal Credit does not automatically entitle disabled claimants to a council tax discount, so it is crucial to contact your local authority to ensure you are receiving the correct support. If you receive an unexpected bill, act quickly to challenge it and apply for the discounts you are entitled to. Taking proactive steps can prevent unnecessary financial hardship and ensure you are not overpaying for council tax.
