While this is a high-profile case, this is pretty emblematic of Conservative and Forced Labour policy. Labour have cut back even further on what constitutes a disability, when in reality many hundreds of thousands of people who should receive PIP do not.
If a state cannot provide comfortable lives for disabled people and, even worse, stigmatises them as scroungers, it is a failed state.
No worries mate. Yeah I understand that things are even harder in our punitive benefits system - and across much of society - for ppl with ‘invisible’ disabilities. As a taxpayer, albeit lowest level, I’m fuckin infuriated that more of my contribution isn’t spent on helping the people who need help. The disabled, the elderly, the NHS. Any society that doesn’t make looking after its vulnerable members priority number one has taken a wrong turn. At least IMO.
Anyway, sorry if I offended you and best of luck in navigating the system to get the support you need. I’m just sorry it can be such a nightmare for people in your position. It really shouldn’t be. If you’re having issues with the system, there are organisations that can help. I hope you won’t hesitate to reach out to them if you have trouble. Take care eh
Thanks, fellow poor. It’s rough out here, but at least I’m not living in the car anymore (so far), and the way forward is mostly about avoiding the dragnet of “abnormal” people into camps, instead of that plus the constant risk of bacon takin’ my possessions & shooting my ESA. 😶🌫️ Small victories. 🤞🏼
