We need an urgent recommitment from the UK Government that benefits will be increased in line with inflation, not earnings. It is vital for blind and partially sighted people who receive benefits to deal with the rising #CostOfLiving. Take action now: rnib.in/CoLMP

Accessibility is so important - especially when major changes are announced. Thanks to @RNIB for sharing this alt-text version of the chancellor's announcement.

A very important government announcement, released as text in an image with no alt text. This is inaccessible to anyone who uses a screen reader. Government should know better and must do better. @RNIB @GOVdesignsystem @BBCAccessAll @A11yAwareness #DisabilityTwitter #AltText

Well done @lifeofablindgrl and @RNIB for raising this issue. There are so many comms professionals who are still not aware of how important accessible comms is - and the lost opportunity in not getting it right! Great article. Bravo! 👏

Read why the #CostOfLivingCrisis is having a bigger impact on blind and partially sighted people in this article for @theipaper by @ClarkieGB7 and add your name and experiences to our action: change.rnib.org.uk/page/1086…
'We can't scour supermarkets for deals or use comparison sites - we need more help than a £150 Government payment.'
Life is more expensive when you're blind and rising costs have made things even worse.
