Seropositive Rheumatoid Arthritis: The Hidden Disability That Hurts More Than Just Joints

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.

The UK Government’s Quiet War on Disabled People: Are Human Rights Under Threat?

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.
