I am sure many of you are aware of the measures that the Govt has introduced to root out the supposed fraudsters claiming Disability and Sickness Benefits. This is being carried out by a company called Atos, based on a system produced by an American Insurance Company called Unum, which has been declared unfit in the US. The result of this decision by the Govt is the deaths of approximately 70 people every week who have been declared fit for work by Atos. It is alleged many of these people are dying in poverty, and many more are forced into poverty after being declared fit for work because they can't get work, or cannot complete the work fare element of JSA. While you have your health, none of this matters. But one simple mishap could mean you finding yourself on the receiving end of this, and I am convinced you would not have to look too far to find someone in your social circles who is also suffering at the hands of this system. The letter written by Samuel Miller has a long list of links to support this, and if a Canadian is going to put the effort into helping us, surely we need to speak up with him.

To fight for the rights of family carers and disabled people who are trying to get the best out of life for themselves and their loved ones enabling their loved ones to gain independence and a valuable break from caring for the family enabling them to have a well deserved break

Millions of people are unpaid carers,or getting a small pittance if they do receive carers allowance.these caregivers are saving the government millions.if the disabled person had to go into a home for care it would cost thousands .help the caregivers as they are doing a phenomenal job and if they are of state pension age don’t get any financial help.it’s an extremely hard and stressful job,surely a small allowance isn’t much to ask .please help.

Do you you have Advisory Disabled Bays where you live? Do you have problems finding a space because Non Blue Badge Holders use them? The one place disabled residents need to park, is at home. So why are advisory disabled bays not enforceable? Every day, genuine disabled residents can't park at home because there are inconsiderate residents, who aren't disabled, who park in them. This has such a devastating impact on those who are genuinely disabled. If they aren't enforceable, what is the point of them? All disabled bays should be enforceable, especially, if they are residential because otherwise, a disabled resident can't get home, as I have experienced. I know there are thousands of disabled people, throughout the country who suffer with this problem & the only way we can change the archaic laws is if we stand together to make changes.

To whom this may concern I am writing this because I feel that people in residential homes are being treated unfairly and should be paid the £400 payment as well as cost of living payments. It is important to help people in residential homes because some cannot speak for themselves so we must do what we can to help them.

To make such that people with disabilities have equal opportunities to focial mobility as others in society have. When on less income it reduces the opportunities to increase social mobility, so to have free public transport on trains, like buses will help.

Jack Milnes is a disabled wheelchair user. Four years ago he had verbal permission from his housing officer at East Riding of Yorkshire Council to retain his decking just outside his door of his ground floor council flat. Three days after making a complaint about outstanding adaption to his flat that have been waiting for nearly three years, he has now been ordered to remove the decking and been given 21 day to complete it. Within the estate there are several properties that have similar facilities outside and, as far as he is aware, none of these have been ordered to remove them. This is a very important area for Jack to be able to greet and socialise with his neighbours and enjoy some needed fresh air. Please sign this petition and encourage your friends to help Jack.

A coroner’s hearing blamed lack of tactile tiles for a blind man’s death. Although these sound like harrowing, rare incidents, falls from platforms due to a lack of tactile paving happen all too often according to the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB). It says studies have shown that blind or partially sighted people make up 15% of all those who fall from platforms, despite representing only 3.3% of the UK's population, although no specific numbers were provided. It said it was "aware of several similar occurrences" where the lack of tactile paving may have contributed to people with sight loss falling onto railway tracks. Currently, 40% of mainline railway stations in England, Scotland and Wales do not have tactile paving - that amounts to about 1,000 stations. The rail network in Northern Ireland has tactile paving on all its platform edges, according to the RNIB. Cleveland's death happened in the same London region as Artur's fall. "I'm angry that's it's still happening eight years after me," Artur says. "I'm angry because no one did anything.". Since 1998 the government has said the implementation of tactile paving should be "considered" in new developments and improvement schemes at stations. Guidance it reiterated in 2021 but currently, it is not a legal requirement to incorporate it. Artur says: "It is incomprehensible to me that almost a quarter of a century wasn't long enough to install tactile paving. "It only shows that the rail industry doesn't care enough about the health and safety of disabled passengers." This has been advocated for over 25 years! What is stopping this measure except lack of commitment?

Because Fibromyalgia doesn't just affect the afflicted but it causes interruptions and problems for all family members. It can be Hereditary but not always. Sometimes it becomes apparent through injury or illness especially prolonged illness like infections for example. But it causes the sufferer to be unable to do day to day tasks without chronic, immobility stiffness aches, swollen joints tenderness etc it causes IBS & Chronic Fatigue meaning planned events may not always be possible to attend. Hence Dating or just going out with Family & Friends isn't always possible, not to mention days lost at School College, Work etc. The Depression & Pains, & Tiredness & Flare ups, not to mention the associated medical conditions also can become very debilitating.

A life changing event is traumatic enough and recovery albeit physical, mental or financial, must not be impeded by government incompetence or apathy.

On the 1st January 2021 the UK was downgraded to Part 2 Listed Status for pet travel into the EU requiring getting a single travel Animal Health Certificate (AHC) from a vet at a typical cost of £190 (60 pages long!) so as to demonstrate that the animal does not have rabies. The ridiculous paradox is that, unlike mainland Europe, the Uk is free of rabies and the AHC is even needed for travel to Northern and Southern Ireland who are also rabies free! On a personal level I am registered as disabled and travel to Europe several times a year and will have to pay a extra £190 per trip for my assistance dog! There appears to be little pressure from the vets to address this injustice as it is a licence for them to print money

This is important because there are over 7 billion people in the world. There are over 300,000 admissions of people with brain injury’s to hospitals every year. Pretty much everyone with a brain injury needs some kind of help, whether it be from a nurse, carer, support worker or assistance dog.
