this! despite mountains of medical evidence my first assessment for PIP gave me 2 points (healthy) with a litany of lies in the report. when that same evidence was submitted to an independent doctor & judge they gave me 25 points & apologised to me for having to take it so far

We applaud the power of disabled people, food banks, and people like you who have used your voices to stand up for disabled people. The remaining cuts to disability support are very concerning. But you helped make huge improvements to the Welfare Bill. 💚

What I find really hard to understand is why disabled activists (and other kinds of social justice activists) are held up to higher - often impossible - standards than centre and right-wing activists and commentators. Why is that?

In the Hall of Shame today is Dan Jarvis MP MP, who voted aye to the UC Bill. He also claimed to a constituent that most of the disabled people in his constituency support the cuts. There is no proof to support his claim. Shame on you! #DisabilityRebellion #TakingThePIP

It seems to really upset some people when facts contradict their incorrect assumptions about disability benefits and Motability. Facts don’t care about feelings, they are what they are.

I told you they would come back and try and screw disabled people in other ways. New proposals to cut PIP and disability benefits ahead of full review - Mirror Online share.google/90kFUOFdOhUQzq…

I’ve spent all day dealing with nit pickers and I won’t any more. I’ll mute. It’s not worth the hassle. I’ve got better things to do and too little time than to play with nitpickers. Nitpicking is a tool used to delegitimise an opponent’s arguments. Not falling for it anymore.

Not sure why this won’t appear in Disability Rebellion so I’ve reposted it again here: Olivia Blake voted against the #UCBill She said: "This could form an unethical two-tier system that treats two people with the exact same injury or illness differently.” She is one of nine

I am putting this story here because I was part of it. We (journalists and me) read what was not there in the figures. Thousands have died after being found fit for work, DWP figures show theguardian.com/society/2015/a…

Thanks for perpetuating this deeply harmful and corrosive institutional ableism towards those living with mental health conditions.

Those who criticise people who complain about the heat need to roll down their judgements. Many of those who complain about the heat are disabled people who have medical conditions which get worse in the heat. For example, I get violent heat induced migraines. People with POTS,
