Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of illness and death worldwide. It encompasses various conditions affecting the heart, such as coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, and heart valve problems. One of the most common interventions for severe heart disease is open heart surgery, a major operation that can significantly impact a person’s life.
A proposed DWP benefits payment card to replace cash could severely restrict disabled people’s freedom, autonomy, and access to essential disability-related living costs. This article explains why the proposal risks reinforcing disability discrimination and stigma.
Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that involve a persistent disturbance in eating behaviors, thoughts, and emotions. They are often deeply intertwined with mental health issues and can significantly impact physical health, emotional well-being, and quality of life.
Working in retail doesn’t automatically disqualify you from receiving PIP (Personal Independence Payment). The DWP may argue that if you can work, you can manage daily tasks — but this is a misconception. Here’s how to counter such arguments and protect your rights.
At a time when disabled entrepreneurs and professionals are striving for financial independence, the extra mobility provided by a suitably adapted vehicle may be a vital investment, not just a perk.

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings, including periods of mania (elevated mood, energy, and activity levels) and depression (profound low mood and energy). Managing the condition can be challenging, as it often impacts everyday tasks, relationships, and quality of life.
At DisabledEntrepreneur.uk, we support the ACDP approach because it is designed by disabled people, for disabled people, and recognises the full reality of daily barriers. We reject any system that forces claimants to “prove” their disability-related costs with receipts or spending controls, as this strips people of dignity and human rights. Disabled people know best how to manage their own lives and finances; what they need is trust, fair support, and recognition of the extra costs they face, not surveillance.
A letter from your GP, along with copies of your medical history, is crucial for a successful PIP claim. These documents provide solid evidence of your condition, detailing your symptoms, treatments, and how the disability affects your daily life. By presenting medical records, you offer a comprehensive view of your needs, ensuring the decision-making process is based on factual and reliable information. This approach increases the accuracy of your claim and helps prevent any potential discrepancies or delays.
The definition of disability should never be reduced to a checklist of tasks. The ability to wash, dress, manage finances, or socialize does not negate the presence of a disability. A person’s disability is defined by the challenges they face in navigating the world, not by their occasional ability to perform basic tasks.

If history teaches us anything, it is that unchecked government surveillance combined with flawed technology can devastate lives.
