Curtain twitching is unreliable actually . More than 85% of benefit fraud tip offs are false. theguardian.com/society/2016/f…
DWP internal documents show Labour assurances on Universal Credit cuts are worthless Internal WCA assessor training obtained by the Canary just blew a hole in Labour's assurances on fluctuating conditions under the Welfare Bill. @h_sharland reports: thecanary.co/uk/analysis/20…
Ok, possibly less bad /actually good news perhaps as a result of our lobbying. For the Severe Conditions Criteria, a diagnosis will count IF recorded in the NHS system i.e. recognised by the NHS. So a private autism or ADHD diagnosis will qualify IF your NHS GP has it on record.
If you are shocked at the government is now “reviewing” the state pension age… you didn’t really think they’d stop a disability benefits did you? Once you open the door, they come after the entire welfare system.
DWP staff stole benefits that should have gone to pensioners and disabled people. share.google/z84Na3P5v3tmeD…
Wish I could stop my hands from swelling 😫 Always worse at night or first thing in the morning. Struggling to even use the kettle 😒 #mevalonatekinasedeficiency #autoinflammatoryaware


Any #Autistics on here that really struggle with fluid intake? I’m supporting someone who really isn’t good at drinking and I want to help them. Any ideas are welcome! We have tried - Own refill bottle - Robinsons squash refills
This is a pretty direct attack towards Neurodivergent people and those with mental illnesses… many of whom have no choice but to go private for both diagnostic and treatment purposes
The DWP is now going to refuse disabled people's diagnoses if they got them privately It's headed for another cataclysmic disaster, just as one NHS board turns away all adults over 25 seeking support for ADHD. A must-read #TakingThePIP #WelfareNotWarfare thecanary.co/uk/analysis/20…
Here’s a question to all those .@UKLabour MP’s who voted against the cuts. How many of you are willing to resign and create a new party?! Is the government really one that you want to be associated with?! #Killthebillsavelives #WelfareNotWarfare #WelfareReformBill
Irony of this £2m banquet on a day when Parliament votes for welfare cuts against disabled & sick people… We know where we “stand”
Does anyone else find this repulsive?
Nadia Whittome saying what we all feel when 'PIP fraud rates' are brought up...🤣 #BinUCBill @NadiaWhittomeMP
🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 UN criticises Starmer's benefit cuts, warning that measures will 'increase poverty rates' As MPs go to vote for the final time later today, the bill is receiving international criticism from the United Nations news.sky.com/story/un-criti…
Imagine being an MP that voted for a Bill that the UN says will, “deepen the signs of regression” for disabled people’s human rights. Well done @UKLabour 👏
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨🚨🚨 The United Nations is calling for the UK Government to stop the Universal Credit (PIP) Bill because it will 'deepen the signs of regression' in disabled people's human rights. tbinternet.ohchr.org/_layouts/15/tr…
Catching up on @ThatUmbrella & @MeganFoxWriter stream from last night. I’m sick but I’m crying laughing at roaches in the oesophagus talk. So I have to ask, Megan, did you sleep well? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You two are hilarious 😆
Motability cars are NOT free. How do I know? I cannot afford the upfront costs for the vehicle I need and it would completely wipe out my PIP to get one, which I can't afford to live without. I don’t drive, so stop the lies. Motability cars are NOT free.
Can we please stop with all the “anyone on PIP can get a free car” nonsense. 1 You have to be receiving the highest rate of mobility to be eligible. 2 The upfront costs of a Motability car can run into the thousands depending on the person’s needs and whether or not adaptations…
