Do you like stories that use flashbacks or do you prefer chronological stories? #writingcommunity #readingcommunity

That's the elephant in the room here, I think. Most of the work available to long term disabled and autistic people does not pay. It also means risking UC and PIP eligibility, while also worsening health and causing burnout.

#Dyspraxia is often invisible, but the shame isn't. It's in each stare, every impatient sigh. If you're a healthcare provider, please ensure you know enough about dyspraxia and what it co-occurs with including autism, ADHD and mental illness to be patient, validating + helpful.

Getting disabled people back to work through “programs” that will “help” but in reality will cut/save welfare because apparently we’re worthless & dragging the economy down if we’re not. Fixing foundations shouldn’t be at the expense of vulnerable lives - eg disabled/elderly

Ah yes continuing what the tories started with more demonising disabled people like M Stride when he proposed PIP to be vouchers🤦🏼 These programs hurt people esp those with neurodiverse & complex needs They will not work for everyone Labour want “savings” (cuts) & every1 working

The #Workwell policy, and the various successful pilots, were the product of months of work by the @Conservatives govt & the @DWPgovuk I was working in as Employment Minister in 2022-23, as @MelJStride could tell you. Good to see praise but the policy is a Conservative one 1/.

If you want to address poverty in the disabled community how about you make sure UC & PIP are enough to live on for all! 40% of UC are working, cos wages are too low Energy bills are higher. Disabled ppl have extra costs of £1010 a month! No cuts to benefits either would help too

Chronic illnesses/disabilities will not get better! Inactivity is ableist & it seems you are blaming us for the poor economy & you want to get unwell people back to work while cutting their benefits. That is what this plan will do Tying health to work is risky. Not all can work!

Inactivity is ableist This will harm disabled people esp if programs & work are unsuitable for them Being told by people who don’t know our health history Work is not a health outcome for all Can you be sure that those who “fail” this & still unwell to work will be protected?

This is a concern 😕 It will not work for everyone especially if the trainers have 0 understanding The scheme shouldn’t be introduced without having better providers in place. Unlikely though

This will likely push people off benefits and into programs linked to untrained professionals and work that will not be suitable for all. This is a dangerous game. Especially for those unable to work due to dynamic chronic disabilities & complex needs eg neurodivergence & MH

Today is #DisabilityPayGap day. The day when Disabled workers stop getting paid for the rest of the year. Yet, life costs £1,010 more each month for Disabled households than non-disabled households. We are calling on the Government to END the Disability Pay Gap.
