It's good to see meetings like these are taking place and are reportedly very constructive. Absolutely agree: there is a real need to amplify the voices of disabled people and not just be spoken about. 👆 #Disability

Those involved in the Timms Review must be able to report back to their communities. That’s how we ensure credibility and accountability.

True co-production means listening to ALL Disabled people. We support a pan-disability approach - one that reflects physical, sensory, cognitive, and psychological experiences. Co-production must be at the heart of the Timms review. 🤝 Sign up as a supporter if you agree: buff.ly/4rpLq6N

Cuts to #PIP must be off the table. The Timms Review should focus on removing barriers - not reducing support. Financial cuts are never the answer. ✉️ Want to stay updated? Sign up as a supporter: buff.ly/4rpLq6N #NoToCuts

Disabled leadership matters. We’re calling for at least one of the Timms Review’s co-chairs to be #Disabled. Representation at the top drives real change. 📣 Support our campaign if you agree:

An alternative to PIP is proposed! 👀 This Disabled-led initiative highlights the deep flaws with PIP, which the commission says is “plagued by inaccurate decisions & a culture of mistrust” and “actively undermines” Disabled people’s participation in society. #Disability

“Disabled people are overwhelmingly locked out of work because workplaces aren’t accessible or supportive. Imagine how many lives would improve if employers were educated and held to account. THIS is the problem that needs addressing.” @campaignfdj.bsky.social

Employment support needs to be voluntary for Disabled people – taken up because it actually works, not because of threats and sanctions. ❌ Disabled People's Organisations are in the best position to shape & deliver these programs! #DisabilityRights #Disability

Disabled people are overwhelmingly locked out of work because workplaces aren't accessible. Imagine how many lives would improve if employers were educated & held to account. THIS is the problem that needs addressing. ☝️ #Disability

The Govt. has yet to fund & facilitate Disabled-led programs to educate employers who are failing to support Disabled employees—and failing to hire them in the first place. #DisabilityRights

A reminder of our asks ahead of the Timms Review. Sir Stephen Timms is committed to concluding his review into PIP by Autumn 2026. 🧵 #DisabilityRights #PIPreview #NoToCuts

Disabled People's Organisations have the knowledge & lived experience to teach employers how to properly support Disabled people in work. The Govt. could fund & facilitate these programs. The opportunity is ready and waiting for them to take it. Step up. #DisabilityRights

Removing barriers for Disabled people to get to work or school on time should be a no-brainer. Being able to use a bus pass when you need it is not a big ask. It's hard to see the logic in this outcome, let alone compassion. 😞

The 10 members of the new Independent Disability Advisory Panel must sign an NDA that prevents them sharing any information outside the group. Transparency is key to credibility. Why isn't a standard confidentiality clause enough for the DWP? 🤨

"We need more than lip service from this government around disability rights – we need to see real commitment and action. And that starts with the appointed representatives showing up and taking their responsibilities seriously." Our CEO @carolinejc.bsky.social comments.

The Disability Poverty Campaign Group (DPCG) are collecting evidence about people’s experiences of Access to Work. We are hearing that awards are being cut or refused with no explanation. Any supporting evidence will help to compel the DWP to address these issues: buff.ly/wRAwas3

The gov says it wants more Disabled people in work. Then why is it cutting the scheme that helps them stay there? Many people are reporting 60-80% cuts or even total withdrawal of their support, with no explanation. We've signed this open letter, add your name too: buff.ly/ECPJcQ3

Opportunity. Security. Respect. That’s what Disabled people are calling for. That's what we want the Government to work on—with us. 💪 📢 Learn more about our campaign and opportunities to get involved! 👉 Sign up as a supporter today: buff.ly/r6yEKFR

"The DWP itself considers PIP fraud to be so minimal, it marks it at 0%." Yet it is advertising covert surveillance roles to, in their words, "gather evidence to prove/disprove offences." Medical knowledge? Training and understanding of the complexity of disability? Not in the ad.

This is what we mean by meaningful co-production: real collaboration with Disabled people, not top-down consultation. 🤝 The Timms Review needs: Balanced representation ✔️ Ongoing evaluation ✔️ Full transparency ✔️ Meaningful parliamentary scrutiny ✔️ #DisabilityBenefits

ICYMI we support Access to Work Collective's call for an immediate review into Access to Work. Disturbing stories are coming out about people losing support without explanation. 🚨 Sign the letter➡️https://lnkd.in/e8QxDrVv Write to your MP➡️https://lnkd.in/e_uzZeeD #DisabilityBenefits #Disability

DWP claims they're “implementing existing policy” & previous awards were “too generous.” 86% of Disabled workers say AtW is essential to keep their job/business. 100% of employers say Disabled staff would struggle without it. "Too generous." #AccessToNowhere #Disability

We haven't heard a peep from the Government RE: the letter they received from the UN, and the response was due on Monday.⏰ Disabled voices have been brushed off for months; welcome to the club, UN! Fancy a cuppa?☕

Reform without support is cost-cutting in disguise & it will fail Disabled people every time. 📢 We are signing the open letter calling for urgent reform of Access to Work. Reform can only begin by listening to those it’s meant to serve: buff.ly/Fn1698V #Disability #AccessToWork

How do #Disabled led organisations influence change in national policy? What are the risks of creating policies without us? (Spoiler alert: Don't do it!) Find out in our Head of Policy Geoff Fimister's interview on Voice of Islam Radio: buff.ly/pnTSBDJ Interview starts at 09:15 minutes

📢 We've had a formal response from Disability Minister Sir Stephen Timms to our open letter opposing #DisabilityBenefits cuts. We can’t say we’re thrilled with it. 🧵1/10

If we gave the Government the benefit of the doubt that this delayed access to relevant information was coincidental rather than deliberate, it still has lessons for the need to bring actual evidence to bear on decision-making that impacts powerfully on Disabled people's lives.

Everyone needs to travel, for work, for fun, for school. Almost all of these reports show that inaccessible transport is stopping disabled people like us doing everyday things. Our Government must commit to transport accessibility, so we all have the freedom to make the journeys we want to.

Government quietly releases multiple disability research reports on the same day, just eight days after MPs voted to impose £2 billion-a-year cuts to #disability benefits. www.disabilitynewsservice.com/government-q...

Our CEO Caroline Collier has joined the Pathways to Work collaboration committee. We’re so grateful to everyone who’s shared their stories with us—your input is at the heart of our advocacy. We're pushing for disabled-led, opt-in employment support rooted in the social model of disability. 💪

🚨The #UCBill passed the Lords yesterday. MP Natalie Bennett's regret motion highlighted age discrimination, harm to Disabled people & rising poverty. It was defeated but we’re very grateful for her efforts & the continued efforts of campaigners who together have reduced the Bill’s harm.

“With 1.8 million disabled people facing up to a 40-year wait for accessible homes & the lack of choice forcing many into dangerous high-rise flats, this tick-box approach to regulations is wrong and irresponsible." - Caroline Collier, CDJ www.disabilitynewsservice.com/governments-...

This week, the Government has been pushing through the final stages of its Bill to cut disability benefits - but our work is far from over. We’re taking action. Here's a quick update on what we've been working on this week 🧵

Taking support from those who need it most will never be a solution. The UC Bill has passed. Even in its reduced form, it will cause harm. We have strong feelings, but we know where to put them: into our next steps. We’ll have more to talk about soon. Keep taking care of yourselves, and each other.

The UK Government from time to time finds itself in trouble with the UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The present Government, in keeping with tradition, has just been written to by the UN, expressing concern at the cuts to #DisabilityBenefits. ⬇️

We took the voice of our local community and beyond all the way to No 10. Together we ARE making a difference. Thank you @BarnetPost for sharing. 📰 buff.ly/qUQ4t0s #OpportunitySecurityRespect

We welcome that the Government has recognised the damaging effect of the proposed #PIP cuts. But serious cuts to #UC for #Disabled people are still there. Ministers should drop them too. The Government now has an opportunity to fully re-think its approach and work with Disabled people.

As we keep an eye on Westminster, and the UC & PIP Bill’s second reading today, we want to remind you that your voice matters, and by raising them together we continue to make a difference. #BenefitCuts #OpportunitySecurityRespect

Our staff delivered an open letter signed by supporters, major charities & orgs to 10 Downing Street today, opposing proposed cuts. Despite the last-minute "concessions," our work isn't done. Read more on our blog: buff.ly/JDe50Kc #OpportunitySecurityRespect #BenefitCuts #DisabilityBenefits

On Friday, we wrote to every MP in the UK to urge them to reject the rushed Personal Independence Payment and Universal Credit bill being voted on in Parliament tomorrow. Whatever the outcome, we still need your support. Sign up to support our campaign today: buff.ly/UKsiSKO

Our Green Paper response is clear. This isn't reform. It's cuts disguised as change. The proposals would: Push more Disabled people into poverty 📉 Link support to a failing PIP system 🚫 Undermine safety, autonomy & rights ⚠️ 📄 buff.ly/RsDE1gx #TakingThePIP

Our response to the Pathways to Work Green Paper calls for: Fair benefits based on real living costs ✔️ Opt-in support, not sanctions ✔️ No benefit changes without co-production with Disabled people ✔️ An end to policy-making that risks lives ✔️ 📄https://buff.ly/JrkSOrn

From the start, Disabled voices and DPOs were left out of reforms that affect our lives, safety, and future. Now the Government announces last-minute concessions to fix proposals that should never have been written in the first place. #TakingThePIP 🧵

It is vital that opposition to the UC and PIP cuts Bill continues. The concessions proposed do nothing to protect those who will acquire conditions in years to come, and create an irrational two-tier system that cannot be justified by the evidence. #TakingThePIP

[email protected]’s resignation is a stark warning. An MP with a decent knowledge of the welfare system & employment struggles of Disabled people sees the truly devastating impact of the proposed cuts – and acted on it. @johnpring.bsky.social #TakingThePIP
