Independent research and policy consultant on disability employment and social security. Founder, Chronic Illness Inclusion. #pwME and survivor of medical abuse. Mum of 2 teenagers.
I hoped to turn up to Westminster again today to protest the cuts to disability benefits.
I am one of many who are in work already and for whom the proposed cuts to PIP will make me much less able to work.

Me and Steve on our way to parliament to present my research on flexible working and disability inclusion. I couldn’t do any of this without you love!

Sharing my response to the #GetBritainWorking White Paper that I posted over on Linkedin in a thread.

A cautious welcome:

It positions the high numbers of people not working, or seeking work, for reasons of health and disability (notice I don’t use the term ‘inactive’?) as a key problem >
