People who tell me “You’re an extreme case, we’re not talking about you” when it comes to disability benefits…
I don’t care.
When you come for one disabled person, you come for us all.
I’m not as selfish as you to do the “Oh I’m alright then”.
I actually care about others.

Disability is one of the only minority groups you can join at any time.
Everyone thinks they will be the exception.
It won’t happen to them. They will “try harder” and overcome.
They think we’re failing.
It is not a moral failing and very few people will be the exception.

So, as a PSA: 20–25% of the population AREN’T on PIP.

I think perhaps we need a campaign on mental illness as a disability. The latest YouGov survey shows most support disability benefits BUT 49% believe the rise in mental illness claims is due to overclaiming not poor health. This is dangerous for us as a community esp now.

Why the 4-Point Rule discriminates:
🔹 Many with SMI score across multiple areas but don’t hit 4 in one.
🔹 Example: 2pts in Engaging, 2 in Therapy, 2 in Food, 2 in Journeys = 8 total now no PIP.
🔹 Physical conditions often 4 in one (e.g., mobility), MH/ND needs are spread out.
