#Disabled people need to know this: Rail Delivery Group has awarded @nimbusdis a £1.75m contract to decide Disabled Persons Railcard eligibility, reviewing medical/benefit evidence. This goes far beyond an access card. Where is the scrutiny of assessors, appeals and safeguards?

I know the Work Capability Assessment is horrendous But what Labour plan to do is *much worse* Their plan is to "decouple financial support from capability to work" Their plan will mean 100,000s who would qualify now as too ill or disabled to work will be deemed "fit for work"

This is what my life has looked like recently. When most people are ill, they can go off sick. As an unpaid carer, the calls, meetings, decisions and responsibility still follow you even into hospital for your own treatment.
