    That's horrific,sben.people can be so cruel and judgemental. I've been told that disability is a punishment from God. And I should pray instead of fearing death or becoming more disabled. This was someone who thinks the earth is flat and covid vax is DNA altering poison.?
    I'm fed up with people who have no understanding of our issues telling disabled people how to live or doubting us. How dare they.keep your head high,sben live your life how you choose, don't be intimidated by ignorant cruel people.

    I've been told that my physical disability is all in my mind and if I think positive I won't be disabled anymore.

    I was also told by a candidate in my local elections that I couldn't call myself disabled as he didn't like the word!  Suffice to say, he didn't get my vote.

    I think there is alot more scope can do about alot of other things but they are short staffed like every where else I expect its hard to fit in what they already do
