At @NotSeparation we remember mum Elaine Morrall who had anorexia and died of cold after her #UniversalCredit was stopped for being too ill to attend Jobcentre. Now @Labour is cutting UC disability element by 50% for new claimants. No two-tier system! #NoMoreBenefitDeaths.

Too often, mothers who ask for help for their disabled children or challenge medical misdiagnoses are accused of inventing their illness, and children are taken into “care” – or worse, a child tragically dies at the hands of professionals having never been harmed by their mother.
We’ve joined calls for the immediate withdrawal of Fabricated Induced Illness (FII) label & associated guidance because it is junk science.Protective mums get falsely accused when we ask for help & face the injustice & heart break of children being taken.

.@Shrink_at_Large: UC Bill guts crucial "substantial risk to health" protection for claimants, relied on by women/people with mental distress, rape survivors, people with heart conditions and anyone at serious risk from work conditions for benefit. #BinUCBill
New from me - Labour is gutting "substantial risk" for new UC claimants - the legal safeguard protecting suicidal & vulnerable disabled people from DWP pressure. This is life-and-death so please write to Lords for Tuesday & have it centred in Timms review
