If even the DWP isn’t Disability Confident, how will a million disabled people get jobs? – Bernadette Meaden
Nobody would expect a person who suffers blackouts to drive a bus or bin waggon once they had thought through the potentially devastating consequences. But political, cultural, psychological and financial coercion is being used to force people sick and disabled people to work - the government continues to cut welfare, which was calculated originally to cover only the costs of meeting basic needs. Cruel sanctions and strict, inflexible, often unreasonable behavioural conditions are being imposed on lifeline benefit receipt, adversely affecting some of our poorest and most vulnerable citizens; unemployed and disabled people are stigmatised in the media - all of this is done with an utterly callous disregard of a person's capacity to work, and importantly, the availabilty of appropriate and suitable employment opportunities, and this can have tragic consequences.
