If you're angry about conflating PIP with work consider how *scared* LCWRA claimants are of the plan to merge their award with PIP LCWRA *is* about work capability but merging with PIP eradicates that acknowledgment, acceptance & protection OPPOSE THIS PLAN BY THURS 👀 ALT text

I'm doing a story on cuts to the Universal Credit disability payments - I'm looking to speak to anyone who started claiming means-tested disability benefit (LCWRA, either in ESA or UC) for the first time when they were in their 50s or 60s My DMs are open, grateful for any RTs

23 years of care. A child with highly complex needs. A package that should be 24/7 skilled support. Instead: untrained staff, no continuity, no safety. This is what system failure looks like in real life. Thread 🧵

This Times “speculation” had better be wrong—It would actively cause harm to children—there isn’t the expertise or infrastructure needed for this cruel plan. If it’s accurate, we will campaign against it vigorously. Which parent or school would back it? archive.is/KFcWB
