Hello,

I am finally joining after many years following Scope research and articles and now the community. I have full body osteoarthritis (90% work injury related), severe depression, PTSD, severe anxiety and agoraphobia. Over the years I have been bullied, dismissed from jobs, not got jobs etc like many disabled people of various kinds. I am now at a stage (thanks to Disability Reforms announced) that I had best belong to a community to get support and learn from others.

I look forward to supporting you as much as getting support.

Cheers,

LadyTinks

    Thank you all so far who has welcomed me. I have normally shied away from protests and activism but now I find that I HAVE to because if these changes go through I might as well write my death certificate now as I will lose everything!!!!

    @Rosie_Scope already signed the petition!!!!
