Take PIP away, and you push many disabled people actually OUT of work entirely. Then what? More unemployment, more poverty, less tax revenue.
Ironic, eh?
Disabled people are not disposable. PIP needs reform, yes โ but one rooted in dignity, not cuts.

PIP isnโt about being in or out of work โ itโs about being able to live. Many disabled people rely on it to stay in work, often part-time, because of the extra hidden disability living costs, the barriers we face, and the impact of our conditions - flare-ups, burnout etc.

A white card with braille that reads "Lola, Will you be part of my Honour Guard at my wedding? This is a term I'm using instead of the gendered wedding party terms like groomsmen. Love you, Jasper"
One of my best friends is DeafBlind and with my wedding being all about inclusion, I've been working to ensure that my card asking bestie to be a member of my wedding party is in braille
It arrived today!

At Pride recently, my QPP surprised me by starting to learn BSL ๐
when I last saw them, they couldn't sign at all and at the weekend they were 80% following most of our conversation between other Deaf signer pals and was signing more than they were speaking and it was just ๐ฅบ
