This is an extremely dangerous policy that the Department of Health is seeking to implement.

The UK and Stormont needs to reset how they treat their disabled and carers citizens.

We must oppose this policy.

It’s Day 4 of #DisabilityPrideMonth. Blind, deaf & learning-disabled people are still excluded from jury duty in the UK & Ireland — not for lack of ability, but because the system wasn’t built for us. That’s not fair. It’s discrimination.

Day 1 of Disability Pride Month
YouTube video by MyWayAccess Day 1 of Disability Pride Month

Day 1 of #DisabilityPrideMonth and we’re met with spin, not solidarity.

This bill is still an attack.
Still designed to hurt.
And we’re not here for crumbs or cruelty.

❌ KILL THE BILL

Don't fall for the spin. This isn’t a concession — it’s a two-tier system that punishes future disabled people & those not yet on PIP or UC.

Vote NO on Tuesday. Kill the bill.

Fermanagh and Omagh District Council OPPOSES the UK Gov’s #PathwaystoWork Green Paper.

Built on lies, not evidence — PIP fraud is just 0.2%, yet disabled people are targeted & blamed.

🚨 SCAM ALERT: Fake texts claiming to be from DWP are targeting disabled people. They ask you to report a “change in circumstances” via a link.

❌ Don’t click. It’s a scam.
