Now says claimants will be given 13 weeks before they lose either personal independence payments or linked carers’ allowance.
Are disabilities to vanish in 13 wks? Cruel and inhumane.

Choosing to take money from disabled benefit claimants rather than levy a wealth tax is simply immoral 👇
Labour mollifies the rich, targets disabled people and claims moral justification. There isn’t any | Frances Ryan
Ministers run away from a wealth tax and then concoct a punitive benefits system. They have made that choice and it’s immoral, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

This morning a car drove onto the pavement at speed.
My guide dog Ava acted quickly by pulling me away.
If I’d been using my white cane I could’ve been hit by the car “parking” on the pavement.
I’ve reported it to the police & managed to take several photos.
I won’t tolerate dangerous driving.

Breaking: DWP's “misleading and unfair” consultation on disability benefit reforms unlawful, the High Court has ruled. Ministers presented reforms as supporting disabled people into work, when cost savings was a “primary rationale”.

As a blind customer of Barclays I’m disappointed to hear that mystery shoppers were encouraged to “pretend to be blind”.
Not only is this grossly offensive but also will fail to capture the feedback that’s actually needed about accessibility

I want to be invited
It makes me feel that you care
But I probably won't come along
Because it's too exhausting out there
Who else longs to be invited but will be unlikely to make it to the thing?
