Talking about your disability in the workplace can be daunting—but it’s also a powerful step toward ensuring you’re treated fairly and given the support you need. Whether you’re starting a new job, facing challenges in your current role, or navigating a return to work after time off, knowing how and when to disclose your disability is essential.
As outrage grows over a disabled woman being ignored by the Disability Minister, public attention turns to political ideologies like the Fabian Society—and whether the welfare state is being restructured under a cloak of cold reform.
Disability discrimination is not just unfair—it’s illegal. If you’re being sidelined, ignored, or treated with indifference because of your condition, don’t suffer in silence. Knowledge is your greatest defense. Stand up, speak out, and know that help is available.
For trainee lawyers, taking control of your career journey early can make a lasting impact—especially in such a competitive profession. Whether you’re planning to join a firm or go it alone, laying the groundwork with a strong personal brand and portfolio is essential.
When a system structurally excludes, misjudges, or punishes people with fluctuating disabilities, it is not just morally unjust — it may also be legally non-compliant. Disabled individuals and advocacy groups have a strong basis to argue that the PIP framework, as currently implemented, fails to meet legal standards of fairness, equality, and dignity.
Endurance, coordination, and strength are frequently taken for granted in the workplace—until the demands of the job begin to wear on those who are not adequately prepared. In sectors where physical performance is crucial, clearly defining capability is not only helpful but also necessary.
Over 80 Labour MPs are rebelling against Sir Keir Starmer’s welfare reform plans, warning of catastrophic impacts on carers and disabled people. Our research exposes the cruel imbalance between political privilege and public poverty, calling for inclusive employment reforms and fair pay for carers.
The devastating death of a respected headteacher who took her own life following an Ofsted inspection—has ignited a national outcry and led to decisive legal action against England’s school inspectorate.
“One of the most overlooked aspects of disability assessments like PIP is the failure to fairly account for fluctuating conditions. Many individuals live with illnesses that vary from day to day — such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, or certain mental health conditions. These are not linear or predictable, and yet the current system often assumes a static level of ability. This creates a harmful narrative that if someone can perform a task once, they can always do it — which is simply not the case. A more compassionate and realistic approach would recognise how the severity of symptoms can fluctuate, affecting daily living and mobility in deeply inconsistent and exhausting ways.”
Seropositive Rheumatoid Arthritis is a debilitating, systemic disease. Its symptoms go far beyond what the eye can see. Judging someone’s capacity based on fleeting abilities rather than lived experience is a disservice—not only to the person, but to the very purpose of disability support systems. Invisible conditions deserve visible recognition. And every person living with them deserves to be heard, supported, and believed.
