Eating Disorders and PIP Eligibility

Eating disorders are complex, debilitating, and can severely affect both mental and physical health.

Raising awareness and reducing stigma can open the door to better treatment, social understanding, and a fairer benefits system that recognises the true challenges of living with an eating disorder.

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

The UK government’s approach to disability rights, mental health legislation, and human rights law is cause for serious concern.

It is time to push back against policies that prioritize financial savings over human dignity.
