I realise that in its infancy SCOPE along with many others that were set up by the Government were actually held back. Scope I believe were aslo involved with Remploy a company that was set up to find "disabled" and long term sick people, work, but as you may or may not know because of the Acts and Laws governing re-employment of this group they stiffled the needs of them and made it harder to employ them by the need of adaptions to get them employed for safe access and regress to work, and also the need for them to be "shadowed" while at work by "champions" that would look after them while on the premesis.
This is where we are now, since they have to log in like everyone else while there, and in case of a Fire, or practice drill for evacuation, these champions were the first to go into action to make sure they were able to evacuate in a timely maner, and safely.
The government on paper are supposed to do this anyway, and employers were also given a subsady to employ so many disabled people, but bec ause of changes to the referendum and the increase of things like buisness rates and adaptions some employees could not afford the adaptions.
Scope is charity run, so you would think with what Scope actually do this would be the first thing the government would assist in. YES, there is a budget for adaptions to both work and home, but this budget instead of being increased by the numbers claiming Disability Benefits is being CUT?
This latest thing with the Green Paper is a classic example of work manipulation, where the budget for disabled is given, BUT, now is including people who have been on the Dole for a long time and abandonded, and those that are long term sick by saying work is good for "people" and does according to their surveys say they will do everything to get "people" back into work by increasing the BASIC LIVING WAGE.
but why were we left behind knowing that the cost of living as a disabled person is around £950?
How do you equate, the cost of living rise to us as "Non-working people that may not be able to work, yet are DISABLED 24/7, while others of working age or not, still get all the benefits with out the needs of adaptions or medical assistance, or prescriptions to survive every day to function?

I don’t know how they plan to get us to work. I have fibromyalgia and ME among other conditions. I’m constantly in bed resting. Any exertion and I get PEM . I couldn’t even sit at a desk at home and sleep on and off throughout the day . How’s streeting going to get the NHS to cure me so I can work when there is no cure ? I can’t understand how this will be legal .

the funniest was the pic they posted of her in the article shows her in a pub drinking a pint of lager 😂
I actually watched her a bbc interview being interviewed by a disabled woman. This was pre election I think. She spoke very well and seemed empathetic towards the disabled. But of course it was the old IF you can work and looking after those that CANT . Though lose a 4 point descriptor and you’re no longer disabled, all cured .

Hi Catherine, I’m ok thanks, how are you? a lot of respect to you for emailing mps etc, when I’ve emailed my mp in the past for help i was ignored which disappoints me and makes me more angry so don’t bother now for my own sanity, I wish I knew what side she was on with these cuts

Unfortunately, the UK government has sunk to such a level that even it is better than the Conservatives and the Labour Party.

No, it isn't. It's absolutely clear what Reform's policies are, and none of them are beneficial to disabled people. They will absolutely be worse to us than the Tories or Labour. It's just that grim a field.
As an autistic person, what is going on in the US at the moment terrifies me. The fact Farage is now jumping on the bandwagon just makes that worse.
What is going on across the atlantic is an existential threat to people on the spectrum. The last thing we need is it spreading over here.As for the overall fight, the biggest problem we all have is that disability content is not interesting to the 'rest of the world'. It drops off news pages quickly, most people are like, 'not my problem' and move on. Changing that narrative is very hard because the vast majority of able bodied people lack the ability to empathise with disabled people. It's just outside of their scope of understanding, so they judge what they see, not what a person's lived experience may actually be. That makes the fight much harder. If it were in the press every day, there would be more action. But it isn't. And so here we are.
Equality so rarely includes us.6 -
