IN March 2020, when the conservative government is like a particularly searching for a Covvvin-centered approach, for the first time in my life I feel raw, warm fear. Thinking about my baby and what can happen when I get Coronavirus and treated underneath the beautiful “failily” scores. I’m so crying. After 10 years of austerity, I know that disabled people pay a great price for pandemic thanks for its government’s government. People with disabilities: almost 60% of the dead related to Covid involves people with disabled in the first wave.
I swear then I’ll do everything I can to use my skills and experiences in the 20 years of working in a country that has been treating people with dignity and respect. Five years ago, I am one of a person who appears to physical members of Parliament. I’m proud of To select last year As the first person grew up in my constitution to continue to represent this in Parliament for more than a century. I am also proud of, that the Labor Manifesto has made the rights of the disabled, and the principle of working people with disabled to ensure our views and hearts of the heart are all we do.
As a result, since April, I joined the government, at the highest level, to change its suggestions as set out in the Universal Payment Bill. I explained it from the beginning I could not support personal independence payments (PIP). PIP is a job benefit, designed to ensure that disabled people can live independently.
There are 4 million disabled people in poverty in the UK. As a matter of conscience, I cannot support steps to push 250,000 disabled people, including 50,000 childreninto poverty. I also do not accept suggestions using a score system, under current descriptories, not to exclude digging for those inexpensive with their clothes, prostethetic limbs.
Concessions now informed it is important, including all PIP recipients that now receive it will continue to do so. I know it is a great relief for most of my nearly 6,000 constituents to accept PIP and for disabled people across the country.
However, I will continue to work, as I have done from the beginning, to view these consciences against the evidence of the disabled, including my sources, and disabilities of human organizations.
Mainly, I will find more reassurance that details will fulfill the commitments on the labor force of the disabled. The social model of disability must be centered on this – remove obstacles to our inclusion of society.
Research should bring in a mission-led way of all five missions to break the barriers once for disabled. I hope to see three things from the government, which is included in the text of the changes, if the bill reaches the report period.
First, the review led by Stephen TimmsThe Minister for Social Security and Disability, should not conduct. Government should not make the same mistake twice. I recommend bringing a disabled expert in equality and law of employment, such as Prof Anna Lawson At the University of Leeds, to support this work.
Second, the government should consult the disabled of the summer people to understand the impact of suggested changes from November 2026 in future claimants. These must mitigate risks of discrimination for those current recipients with similar disabilities and against Pushing New Disabled Claimants into Poverty after November 2026. In doing so, it must produce an impact assessment that also reflects the impact of unmet NEED for future recipients on Health and Social Care Services, And clarifies the application of new criteria on those receiving PIP if they get reassessed.
Third, growth must mean inclusive growth. In implementing £ 1bn job work, health support and skill support, it should be a clear target for disability strips. Important, there is a commitment to a strategy in the bytor-bytor-by-syector and a skill training strategy for employment workers who return workers to work.
These ways of outperform cuts or penalties to take disabled people into lasting work.
These things. The conservative 24% of employment gap and 17% gap gap for disabled. The Labor Government has the opportunity to bring a new policy period for disabled people who take a laser focus on closing this gap. The disability sector believes it can be reduced by 14%; Make £ 17.2bn for expequer. We have to seize this opportunity to do things differently and move beyond harmful rhetoric and disagreement with new weeks.
In accordance with the Prime Minister’s statement that the reform should be implemented by fresh values, a reset requires a displacement of disabled people to meet their potential. I continue to participate in governmental organizations and disabilities, to fight for a country that treats disabled people with dignity and respect.
