    Hey @Jennyva welcome to the community. 😊

    Have you looked into advocacy at all? You could get someone to speak on your behalf. POhWER are really good and worth having a chat with.

    Thank you @Albus_Scope I didn't know about that. I have seen that the daily chat for YOUGOV is running a poll today on cuts to disability benefits and if anyone is reading this should think about heading there if they want a say.

    Yeah and the answers / response I have seen on there so far is abysmal, they all hate the unemployed and disabled.

    @Catherine21 It looked more positive when I looked at it. People usually bash those who don't work when they are miserable with their own lives. The more unhappy and poor people are the more they take it out on the vulnerable I find.

    @Catherine21 It's because they can't take money to reduce the National bill from the powerful as the powerful then remove money from the economy. So they start with those with little power because they can. Plus the prejudice against ill people is never discussed because nudge units want to shift the focus away from helping the ill and poor and onto other groups so society doesn't is socially conditioned not to notice and /or speak out. I had a lot of training on Equality and Inclusion and DEI training has very little to do with disabled in the past 10 years at least and this should be priority.

    How are people going to explain to a potential new employer why they've not worked for xx years.

    If you haven't worked for say five years the world has changed so much in that time, that you won't have the skills to function.

    It's all online these days.
