I applied for #accesstowork, and asked for support from Able Futures, had an assessment with them today and they said they can’t support me for #bipolar but only for anxiety… I am asking for help BECAUSE I am bipolar… what’s the point of this? Feeling discouraged

So the whole benefits cut to get disabled people working line is bullshit if you are also going to cut Access to Work. This Government is punishing people for having the audacity to be disabled. Maybe people might care more if we start saying they are pre-disabled.

Ironic that Reeves is the Chancellor of a Labour government that, to many Labour voters, has killed these roots. #Labour #disabilitycuts #takingthepip #accesstowork
"Labour built its own political power around the everyday
economy of work, clean water, utilities, housing, education, and social services. It grew its roots in local places protecting
working people, their neighbourhoods and their family life. We are losing these roots" Rachel Reeves, 2019.

Read&Write software was approved, but DWP still haven’t paid the proforma invoice sent 2 Feb 2025.

Complaint escalated to ICE on 3 Feb 2025, 9 weeks later, no reply. Just told it’ll be “some time.”

People are waiting months for essential tools to work.

The proposed changes to #PIP and #AccessToWork won’t "get more disabled people into work."

They’ll do the opposite — and cause a cascade of problems across public services and society.

Here’s what that really leads to:
