Coupla things of note re: #benefits . 1) The massive proportion of the welfare budget goes on pensions - yet they're not vilified like disabled people. 2) The miniscule amount of benefit fraud (less than 1%)is hugely outweighed by the benefits that could be claimed yet aren't.

Yay! My PIP has increased this year! An extra 75p a week, such largesse will surely help deal with the ever-increasing cost of living for disabled and abled alike. Incidentally, I wonder what MPs pay rise is this year?

On patrol at Lawless this weekend the Lawmaster #wheelchair conversion was drawing plenty of praise for incorporating my #disability into #cosplay - #MS doesn't hold this Judge back! #WorldMSDay #MultipleSclerosis @BatecMobility #disabledlife #JudgeDredd @2000AD #disabledcosplay

1) CW: Suicide Many years back, when I was first diagnosed with #MS , when I lost my job, my partner, & my home, I came incredibly close to ending everything. I was broken. There was no hope. Gradually I built my life back up - I learned that I was a valid, worthy person.

1) Being #disabled is extortionately expensive. An example: the average lifespan of an active daily users #wheelchair is 4 years & 4 months. A decent mid-range wheelchair is around £3,000 to £4,000. You can get a secondhand Audi A6 for less. So imagine having to buy a new car...

Anyone who criticises a chronic illness sufferer for using painkillers regularly, can wind their neck in. Try living every day with aches, spikes, wrenching, searing pain, 24/7. If you can take that, only THEN can you criticise. Otherwise, take your tutting and frowning away.

I've said it before & I'll say it again - on behalf of #wheelchair users everywhere, if you've a dog & it fouls the pavement PLEASE clean it up! Our hands are right next to our wheels, & ending up with crap all over our palms isn't pleasant (twice today for me). #disability

@EmpickaLiesel Absolutely! Everything I have through my PIP is spent. There's nothing to save, and of course the unpaid care I get from friends & family saves the system a lot.

@DrFrancesRyan I suspect we're being thrown to the wolves, as its unlikely we disabled & vulnerable are going to be part of the Tory voter demographic. Consequently, our deaths don't matter overmuch, not against being seen to get the economy running again. Or maybe I'm just a cynic.

@DJ_itwasascam @Mariannelouise Least worst option, basically. No other party would come within a country mile where I am. Having suffered under a Tory regime for 14 years, my priority was to get them out at all costs. At least there's the faintest, microscopic hope Labour won't be as unceasingly cruel.

@ally_hutch @Sarahcoombez @lb_southwark I'm a council tenant, and my home is kept impeccably clean at all times. It's always, swept, mopped, dusted, tidied, and organised throughout the week, and I do it in a wheelchair no less. Don't tar everyone with the same brush.

Thanks to all who've expressed support and solidarity with my previous post about work and disability. I'm thinking of you all - remember, you're not alone, and despite whatever your Governments say about you, you are unique, valued, and beautiful. 💜👍♿

@ThisisDavina If you're going to "clarify" Davina, at least show some contrition & sincerity for what was entirely your error. Mealy-mouthed platitudes & excuses designed to get you out of a fix come across as precisely what they are - insincere & disingenuous.

In yet another (expected) f*ck you to disabled travellers like me, plans are set to go ahead. This is why I whole-heartedly back the train staff strikes @RMTunion #Disabled #disabilitydiscrimination #StrikeWithPride

It's official, the High Court, in backing the Government have confirmed that in an emergency, my life as a #disabled person is worth less than an abled person. Gosh, I feel so valued - & where's the wider coverage of this, eh? #Grenfell #disability

Disability campaigners lose legal fight over Grenfell recommendation

A judge says the government was entitled not to adopt escape plans for disabled high-rise residents.

So many responses here that show a lot of ableds really do seem to live in a different universe! I was told not speaking for a month would cure my my MS and epilepsy...

@DrProudman Kink shaming, eh? Strangulation/erotic asphyxiation is quite a common kink, but those in the BDSM lifestyle consider it a kink to be discussed in minute detail, with appropriate experience, & explicit safe words/signals. We don't go choking partners on a whim - we're responsible.

Disability doesn't have to mean you give up on your passions. For me, I'm glad to prove #cosplay isn't just for the #abled , it's for all. Disability may be a part of us, but it doesn't have to define us! #wheelchairlife #disability #MS #GotG #multiplesclerosis

@Flaminhaystack Jesus, we men really are a bunch of total f*cking creeps at times. Really sorry you had to suffer this shitstick, but at least you found out what an utter cockwit he is beforehand. Hope you have way better luck next time - and to hell with these cretins.

1) Lots are coming back to me saying their taxes shouldn't pay for others disabled support. I don't have kids, why should I pay for others education? Im not a pensioner, why should I pay for pensioners wellbeing?

@StevenMAlderson Yep. Temperature is single figures in my flat, and I can't afford to put the heating on at all. It's wrecking my body, as my multiple sclerosis cannot handle cold, so I'm lying in bed wearing 2 pairs of socks, thermals, fleece, and a woolly hat. Tory Britain - what a life, eh?
