Six years ago, Beth Dobbin was competing at the highest level of international sport, representing Team GB at the Tokyo Olympics. Now, she is bedbound for up to 22 hours a day after being diagnosed with ME.
Commonly known as chronic fatigue syndrome, the condition has been described by Dobbin as “life-decimating”.
She has written a letter calling on the Prime Minister to meet with her and commit to more funding for research.
Dobbin’s fellow athletes Keely Hodgkinson, Tom Daley and Dina Asher-Smith have also signed the letter. #ME #illness #Olympics

This is hopefully great news. Vulnerable young adults with mental capacity issues have long been locked out of their child trust funds. It should've green sorted years ago, finally it looks like it's happening...

💙 Are you an unpaid carer in Wales?
Did you know you may be entitled to a Carer’s Needs Assessment? It’s an opportunity to discuss your needs and find out what support is available.

Keith deserves support after his injuries.
But when the presenter equates having ADHD with “working the system” and Keith agrees, they repeat the very stigma he’s speaking out against.
Disabled people shouldn’t have to undermine each other to be believed.

What is one simple spontaneous thing you miss being able to do without planning around caring first?
Llanelli Changing Places Campaign Group retweeted
Somewhere, there is a family carer quietly wondering if anyone else feels exhausted, resentful, lonely, overwhelmed, or changed by this journey. Conversations about caring challenges matter.

Have they not heard of ready meals?” Disabled people deserve better than having their support needs reduced to a sneer.
Knowing a microwave exists doesn’t remove the difficulties someone faces. If you want to debate disability support, start by listening to the people who need it.
I’ll be reporting this to Inclusion London’s Disability Media Action campaign. If you see harmful media coverage about disabled people, you can report it too:

I feel mentally exhausted from reading comments on some articles about #benefits & #bluebadge use. So much hatred for disabled people, so many untruths (anxiety does not get you a "free car"). It feels heavy.
When did things get so bad?? #disability

Went to Oxford Street to try out the pedestrian zone. Oh dear. Accessibility? Nah yet again.

Disabled people who rely on PIP face ‘constant fear’ that physical activity could see them lose their benefits

I'm a double amputee.
I recieve 3,600 a year in PIP
@Helen_Whately receives *39,000* a year in housing.
If our Hels wants to cut down the welfare bill I've an idea where she should start...

📢A benefits system should enable Disabled people to live their lives, not make them afraid to live them. We are calling for a fairer benefits system for all.
Join us in #DismantlingTheActivityTrap tomorrow👇

When Disabled people are repeatedly framed as a cost, it affects how society sees us. @Channel4's The Experiment confronts ableism, segregation and the consequences of devaluing Disabled lives.

The suggestion that receiving PIP alongside the Universal Credit health element means disabled people are being paid twice ignores the different purposes of these benefits.
PIP helps with additional disability-related costs. UC provides financial support with living costs, including where someone's capability for work is limited.
You can even receive PIP while working.
Two different benefits. Two different purposes.

The primary determinant of my 18 yr old daughter's reliance on benefits is her rare genetic condition resulting in profound learning disability, severe physical disability & epilepsy.
The severe lifelong disability came before the DLA/PIP award, not the other way round.

Here’s a radical thought: disabled kids become disabled adults . Disability doesn’t go away because you get older.

Helen Whately seems to think that disability goes away when a child gets older
