A new blog post, on the reality of Labour’s proposed changes to the PIP Daily Living eligibility criteria. It makes no sense. Link below… 👇 . #DisabilityBenefits #PwME #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #ChronicIllness #Disability.

Thanks to the combo of ME and (chemical) menopause, I’m currently averaging 3-4hrs sleep/night. Can’t get to sleep until around 3-4am, wake up around 7am. It’s shit. I need to sleep. #PwME #ChronicIllness #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #Endometriosis #Decapeptyl #Menopause #Insomnia.

Nearly finished ‘Engaging with other people face to face’ and my answer is 2800 words long. This is probably the activity that affects me the most due to the complicated effects of severe ME and autism, so it was always going to take a lot of words, but this may be a bit much. 😬.

I’m almost 7 weeks into my ADP review (Scottish PIP). I’ve completed 13 out of 18 questions, and I’ve written 11,000 words so far. So basically I’m writing a dissertation on everything that’s wrong with Phoebe. 🥴. #PwME #Autistic #ChronicIllness #Disability #DisabilityBenefits

Excellent article by Frances Ryan. “Few people without disabilities in Britain would settle for an existence of food, heat and a wash. The question is: why should disabled people?”. #WelfareBill #DisabilityBenefits #TakingThePIP #Disability #ChronicIllness.

“When the political and media class wish to leave disabled people hungry and dirty, the disabled community must explain why we should be allowed to eat and be clean.”. Today’s col. reflects on a tough month and what it all means for disability in the U.K.

I did a search on Facebook for Universal Credit, and apparently Universal Credit is associated with fraudulent activity. Do we think this is a deliberate attempt to encourage people to associate Universal Credit with fraud?. #UniversalCredit #WelfareBill #Facebook #Meta
