“I use my disability to help them overcome theirs. It’s really, really rewarding” Many of our Work Coaches know from their own experience how working can be better for you

Fuck off. An ignorant prop spewing ridiculous inspiration porn that is utterly meaningless. "My disability means I can cure this guy's uncurable chronic condition which means he can barely move" Just fuck off.

But he isnt sick. The conflation of sickness and disability has to stop. People who are disabled but healthy might be able to work. However this push to make people who are sick into work has to be see for what it is - a fools errand that ends in absolute and inescapable poverty.

Oh dear. Overcome disability? Talk about outdated & offensive. Not heard of the Social Model? Troubling that a government department are using tropes that hail from the previous century. Proof of the need for disabled experts leading gvt policy around disabled people.

The UN would like a word

Yeah… no… this is just abhorrent and ableist. You’re digging your hole deeper

Your own pip assessor would say this man doesn't sound tired or in pain, can sit or walk fine, was seen laughing so no mental issues...therefore NOT disabled and fit to work, so, is he disabled or not in this video ??? The hypocrisy is laughable...

Not everyone is overcoming their condition. Some of us are living with relentless symptoms, constant medical appointments, financial hardship, and systemic barriers. We don’t need inspiration porn, we need realistic support, access, and dignity. Stop using us as PR. #BinUCBill #DisabilityRebellion #TakingThePIP #DPAC #CripsAgainstCuts #DeafDPAC #DRUK #InclusionLondon

The "If I can do it, anyone can" is showing how you really don't understand that chronic illness is extremely debilitating & ongoing all the time: pain & exhaustion do not make for "Work is good for you" because any activity causes chronic illness to worsen very quickly.

You need to consider useable hours A healthy person has 16 useable hours a day for work, socialising, housework, cooking, looking after children. Someone who is ill only has a few useable hours. If they work, they will have to stop doing everything else.
