On Monday, we had a fantastic in-person session for London-based Deaf and Disabled People’s Organisations, looking at how PIP should work and what recommendations we can make to the Timms Review of PIP. @TransportForAll

ALT A piece of paper with a colourful drawing of a sun and flowers. On it is written "How would you feel, what would you think, do or see differently if PIP worked well as a Deaf or Disabled person? Independent, included, not watched, heard & understood, not challenged, not questioned, excited for the future, a participant in society."
Disabled people are being let down by our benefits system.
Life costs more if you're disabled. Disability benefits are a lifeline meant to help address this.
The government must get its administration right. Because disabled people are paying the price.

Delays and cuts to Access to Work support are pushing Disabled people out of their jobs. We need to speak out and tell MPs that cuts aren't the way to help people into work.
Let's keep Disabled people in the picture.

This International Day of Disabled People, we're reminded that disability justice is inseparable from other forms of discrimination. The barriers we face mirror those faced by all marginalised groups. Our struggles connect us. Our solidarity is our strength. #IDDP
