Lives are at stake, and every moment of delay exacerbates the suffering of those already on the brink. It’s time to put people’s well-being ahead of bureaucratic procedures and prioritize the creation of a welfare system that provides genuine support and dignity to all who rely on it.
Indirect discrimination occurs when policies, practices, or rules that seem neutral on the surface disproportionately disadvantage certain groups of people. Unlike direct discrimination, which explicitly targets individuals based on specific characteristics, indirect discrimination can be more challenging to recognize, as it may not be intentional or immediately obvious.
Direct discrimination, particularly concerning mental health issues and invisible disabilities such as auto-immune diseases, remains a significant challenge in systems such as PIP assessments. Addressing this issue requires a concerted effort to raise awareness, challenge biases, and implement fair and equitable policies that uphold the rights and dignity of all individuals, regardless of their disability status.
Suggesting that individuals with OCD or other mental health illnesses cannot fulfill the role of a caregiver constitutes a form of disability discrimination.
Caregiver discrimination also know as Family Responsibilities Discrimation (FRD). This refers to prejudice or unfair treatment directed at individuals who provide care for others, especially when caring for someone with a disability or chronic illness. Just like ableism focuses on discrimination against people with disabilities, caregiver discrimination highlights the challenges and biases faced by those who take on caregiving responsibilities.

The new PIP proposal to remove 30,000 claimants with lifelong health conditions or disabilities from the review process each year has ignited a fierce debate over the rights and support of vulnerable individuals. While the government argues that these changes will reduce bureaucracy and costs, critics emphasize the potential harm it could cause to those who rely on PIP to meet their daily living needs.
Reducing or eliminating sickness benefits for those capable of remote work could further exacerbate the mental health challenges faced by many.
The debate over whether to scrap sickness benefits for individuals who can work from home is a complex and contentious one. While it’s essential to ensure that public resources are allocated efficiently, it’s equally important to consider the diverse needs of people with disabilities, especially those facing mental health challenges like OCD.
