🗣️"The waiting list for a new-build wheelchair accessible home is currently 40 years.
If you don't live in an accessible home as a Disabled person, it's a dangerous home, and a dangerous home you could be living in for 40 years."

The Government claims they are cutting benefits to 'encourage' Disabled people into work.

DR UK's Dan White spoke about the human impact these cuts will have on Disabled people.
His daughter, who has PIP, is devastated for friends in her college just a few years younger who will be tested under an even harsher system.
This bill is unworkable and must be scrapped.
