Understanding Invisible Disabilities, Recognizing the Unseen Challenges

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.
