LIVEDANDLEARNED

Rachel Reeves was on LBC a month ago and a caller rang in and asked if she plans to scrap PIP, you can watch here at her reply. It’s at about 42:50

Her answer was kind of vague and going back to the ‘those who can work, should work’ line

Big question is what conditions do labour to be actual ‘disabilities’?

By that I mean the uk current definition of disability covers a huge range of disability

But some politicians are dismissive and disability deniers of conditions such as those with huge range from minor to life threatening in its own way (eg…anxiety and depression), to neurodivergent disabilities on the rise (such as autism and ADHD) and any ‘invisible’ disability (those that are not visibly and undeniably disabled - even deaf and legally blind could fall into this category)

The big question is what conditions would reeves and Kendall define as disabilities - their personal viewpoint to that viewpoint could have huge impact on this community as quite a few of us don’t have (immediately) visible disabilities

(Stride and sunak have be trying to massively condense the definition of disability for the past year……probably due to having next to no understanding or education on the topic)
