After years of rising costs, disabled people are already on the brink.
Almost half of families in poverty include someone who is disabled.
Cuts to disability benefits would be catastrophic.
It’s time to act

Multiple Sclerosis doesn’t care about schedules or the plans we’ve made. It doesn’t wait for the weekend or a day off. It is something we fight every second of every day regardless of vacations, holidays, work schedules or meetings...

Tens of thousands of people living with MS have been on the receiving end of government cuts for years. Now many are reaching #BreakingPoint. Join me and sign this petition calling on the UK Government to urgently increase support for people with MS! mssoc.uk/3xY0mhA
The Government is still failing disabled people. It happened during Covid, and it's happening now in the cost of living crisis. I've joined @scope to say disabled people need more support through this crisis. Add your name if you agree. 👉 campaigns.scope.org.uk/page/…

🗣️ "The £150 payment is an insult."
Our ambassador @ShaniDhanda explains how the #CostOfLiving crisis is disproportionately affecting disabled people, and why current support doesn't go far enough 👇nitter.gq/ShaniDhanda/status/157…
91% of disabled people are worried about energy bills this winter @scope. Thank you @MartinSLewis @susannareid100 for highlighting this issue on @GMB. £150 is a tokenist gesture; whilst we welcome this support, this amount of money doesn't begin to scratch the surface. A thread🧵
Dear @trussliz, we need pay rises, not tax cuts for bankers. #EndThePayCrisis and give workers the pay rise they need to support the economy and keep people out of poverty. #EmergencyBudget #MiniBudget
Please share. Send a tweet to the PM or Chancellor - unsn.uk/COLtwit
