Our SEND system is failing & families are paying the price.
I’ve spoken with parents forced to give up work because their children aren’t getting the support they need.
No one should have to choose between earning a living and their child’s care. We urgently need an overhaul of SEND provision.

Universal Credit LCWRA is NOT easy to get. Despite the fact my son is learning disabled, does not understand any of it, and unfit for work, I had to fight for 2 years. It’s not handed out.
So sick of this constant attack by the media.

Well, I should be able to order Mounjaro today but because my last order wasn’t approved until 3 days later due to demand and it being weekend I can’t order until Tuesday now. Just ……. great. Can’t afford £329 so will be down from 12.5mg to 5mg. Not happy.

I’m sorry, the DWP announcing “don’t worry, the benefits u-turn means only 150,000 people will be pushed into poverty now!” is just insane. Cruel, incompetent ghouls who shouldn’t be allowed to run a bath let alone a system sick people rely on to live.

Every single non-disabled person who is supporting the PIP cuts should be handed a £15k “disability costs” bill each year and asked how they plan on paying it. Because people don’t really need benefits? You’ll be able to find £15k on top of rent, food, utilities and your summer holiday? Right?

The extra cost of being disabled in the UK will rise by almost 12% in five years, says Scope. That means having to find another £15k a year just to live at the same standard as non-disabled people.
But MPs should cut PIP tomorrow, right? Seems logical and humane? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Factors to consider when trying to make the Armed Forces an attractive career choice.
1. Pay.
2. Living Conditions.
3. Welfare. Look after the families as well.
