Thanks so much for all your thoughtful and valid points following mine. I truly hear you.
It’s saddening to see the hurdles that so many disabled people face when navigating legal battles. But as I mentioned earlier, we can still take some reassurance from the fact that the core protections of the Equality Act 2010 remain in place -nothing has changed yet.
Even though we might not hear about every legal development in the news, I genuinely welcome all the ongoing discussions happening behind the scenes to improve the legal processes and experiences for disabled people.
Please be assured that our rights as disabled people are still protected under the Equality Act 2010-there’s no change to that at present, so please don’t doubt your entitlement to protection.
If you have any specific concerns about whether your situation meets the legal definitions under the Act, it might be helpful to seek support from your local welfare rights service, or even explore the short free consultations that some solicitors offer. It’s always worth getting that bit of additional clarity and reassurance when you need it.
Best wishes!

Sorry to hear that, @Catherine21.
It’s so disheartening -and sadly not surprising -that we keep facing resistance at every turn. Even when we have a strong legal case, many law firms go silent when it comes to challenging the government, especially when we’re fighting as individuals rather than as a collective.
But as you rightly said, that doesn’t mean we stop trying. Our voices matter. And I believe that many Disabled People’s Organisations (DPOs) are ready to stand with us and fight back.
That’s why it’s so important to get our personal stories out there -they carry real power. I’ve shared mine with DPAC, Disability Rights UK, and several other DPOs, giving them full consent to use it in the fight against these ruthless proposals by this cruel government.I truly appreciate your strong drive and all your efforts…..
In solidarity ✊

I’d like to gently point out that solicitors don’t stay silent out of fear, it’s a matter of expertise. Welfare and parliamentary law are highly specialised areas of law that require in-depth knowledge of complex legal frameworks and policies.
Most high street solicitor firms, while skilled in general law, don’t have the specific experience needed to navigate the intricacies of these fields. That’s not backing down, it’s recognising that tackling such complex legal battles often requires expertise in niche areas, or routes like judicial review, which not all solicitors are trained or equipped to handle.
I completely agree, though, sharing our stories and pushing back collectively makes a difference. Public pressure matters, and the louder we speak, the harder we are to ignore. Thank you to all members that are standing firm and keeping the momentum going.

Lawyers and charities cannot bring the Government into disrepute so we need to do this ourselves.
