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...

🗣️ "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🧵

“#ChronicPain is very different because It. Never. Ends. We never get a chance to be in our bodies in a comfortable state…our bodies never get a break to recover… #NervePain is torture—I stare in disbelief because I swear it should be on fire.” buff.ly/34t35jF #cpp

“Being #chronicallyill can feel like a full-time job…partly because of how exhausting it is to manage… We use up energy continually having to weigh the pros and cons of each activity… “If I do this, then I can’t do that. If I do that… I can’t do this.” buff.ly/2S9Fxh0

“No one understands how much effort it takes to function at all, much less ‘normally,’ in spite of the pain. I look fine. But I’m not fine… just dealing with the pain takes a lot out of you. It’s exhausting.” buff.ly/2Ml4cvY @CreakyJoints #invisibleillness #chronicpain

No, I'm not just having a bad day. I have this condition for life. I live with it and manage it but I can't cure it. A bad day is something a person can get over. Please understand, I won't be getting over this. I may improve from time to time, but I can't be fixed.
