Great report from Victoria and @beccastacey.bsky.social on how Access to Work could support disabled people in the workplace better
Great blog by Maddy showing the key things the Timms review should be considering as they review PIP 👇
The government is keen for more disabled people to move into work, but what happens to those who do work? Becca and Victoria's brilliant report looks at the challenges many disabled people face when moving into and staying in work 👇
📢Young disabled people could face benefit cuts of more than £420 a month if government plans go ahead.
Young people deserve real support - not cuts that could push them into poverty.
New blog from me & @victoria-anns.bsky.social: medium.com/p/62015a6f0b12
The absolute bloody vandalism of austerity in one chart. Good analysis of the overall picture here.
Excellent thread on what should guide any Jobcentre engagement with disabled claimants (many of these principles should be standard across the whole UC system - not just for those currently exempt from conditionality).
The government wants to enhance contributory unemployment benefits - we’re good with that
Contribution-based benefits can help the legitimacy of the welfare state. There is a catch though…

@citizensadvice.bsky.social helps 900 people a day with issues relating to the disability benefit PIP. That's a sign that the system isn't working as it should.

Today, alongside the @healthfoundation.bsky.social , we’ve published a major report looking at the link between poor health and housing. Too many people in the UK live in homes that are making them sick and it’s worsening health inequalities. www.citizensadvice.org.uk/policy/publi...
More than 710,000 disabled people are waiting for PIP decisions, with new claim wait times now at 20 weeks.
These delays can push people into poverty and worsen health conditions.
My new blog breaks down the backlog and why the Timms Review must not lose sight of delays and the harm they cause.
The Equality Act should protect disabled people at work
But @citizensadvice.bsky.social supported 5,393 people with health-related job discrimination in 2025 - roughly one every 1.5 hours
