I know coverage of disability benefits can be very distressing. So, I’ve worked with colleagues to make a range of support visible on The Guardian’s site.
If you click on a relevant news story, you’ll see a “drop box” of signposted mental health help as well as benefits advice.

This is an excellent series, it challenged a lot of the things I thought I was certain about. Sensitively, intelligently, and compassionately handled. Thank you @sonia-sodha.bsky.social
The final episode of my Radio 4 series The Body Politic - on assisted dying - is at 11am this morning, and on BBC Sounds after. We step back to look at the case for assisted dying- and why there’s such strong opposition.

Really important evidence on the injustices of prepayment energy meters - and the disproportionate impact on poor families.
