This is every disabled persons worst fear. Us just going about our daily lives and not outwardly performing as disabled enough so must be cheating the system. They say they want us all in work but only if we’re good little disableds.
I've found out that my grant got cut because I posted a video of me standing up out of my wheelchair on social media. They used my public facing social media, which I use to awareness to the fact that people have varying conditions, to push me out of work. I am actually in pieces
