Disability doesn’t care how old you are. Specialist food is no cheaper if you’re 19. Employers don’t lose their prejudice if you’re 21. This is blatant intergenerational inequality from Labour. Younger disabled people of all severities deserve better. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It’s important to note “those with the most severe and debilitating disabilities would not lose any money.” But we know too often state tests are not accurate in judging “severe”, just as we know people with less severe conditions still face vast expenses and discrimination.

I worry we're moving towards a binary system that says: either you'll never be able to work; or, if you might be able to work one day, you should be working now. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Labour’s savage disability benefit cuts could hit older people hardest, despite their reduced chances of finding work - a third of those potentially affected are aged 50+, according to FOI data Older disabled people face both labour market ableism and ageism By me, for @theleaduk.bsky.social
