Co-producers wanted for new Scope and Trussell research about Personal Independence Payment
Comments

Are disabled. Scope and Trussell use the social model of disability. In this model, disabled people aren't disabled people by their impairment or difference. Instead, people are disabled by barriers in society.
I would like to add that the social model of disability does not describe all conditions. For example, my chronic pain in the legs will be both in the city and in the middle of the desert or jungle. And society has nothing to do with it.
