We know these potential reforms are scary. We hear you. Changes wouldn’t happen overnight, and at first, they'd likely only affect new applicants.

But one thing’s for sure - we won’t stop fighting for you, and pushing for a fair benefits system ✊ 2/2

They tend to forget (on all sides) that people with disabilities will also have the right to vote at General Elections. I don't think disabled people voted to be thrown under the proverbial bus.

Thanks Mind. Disability isn’t a burden on society, disabled can, have and will continue to offer more to society than they are given credit for.

My uncle had myotonic dystrophy, he was unable to work and needed to live at my grandparents as I grew up.

He helped shape me into the person I am today.

Kind, compassionate, loving, strong, appreciative, resilient and proud of who I am as a person. My uncle taught me so much about life and Il be forever thankful.

His value did not come from
The money he made but the lessons he taught. 💕

I wish I could work but my whole disability stops me - I have Aspergers and that means adjustments like giving me time to process what I am told and maybe the employer needs to learn what I can and cant do... PIP was never a means tested benefit and should never be.

I just wish I could get a little part time job a few hours a week or so. But I cant even get this.
