We all want dignity and a decent quality of life for ourselves and those we care about.
Ahead of the Budget, the Disability Poverty Campaign Group is calling on the Chancellor to invest in Disabled people's lives, not deepen poverty through further cuts.
The Disability Poverty Campaign Group (DPCG) has sent a letter to the Chancellor, John Healey, urging him to break the endless cycle of disability poverty and to rebuild trust between the community and the government.

Social care is a web of support we can weave to allow people to live full and happy lives, easily and independently, whatever our age or circumstances.
But government proposals will deny care to Disabled people under 65.

#OpportunitySecurityRespect
Social security should be there for us all when times are tough, but often it's not enough to get by on.
Today we’re giving evidence to MPs about why Universal Credit levels need to change, to make sure people can live through difficult periods.
#OpportunitySecurityRespect
We shouldn't have to choose between being active in our community and keeping the financial support we need.
But new research shows that 80% of Disabled people worry that being active could put their benefits at risk. Financial support that should enable us to be independent.
📢A benefits system should enable Disabled people to live their lives, not make them afraid to live them. We are calling for a fairer benefits system for all.

Disabled people are a community who care, but recently MPs and the media have tried to divide us based on our diagnoses.
Please share your experiences to help push back, explaining why all people should be equally respected, whatever impairments and conditions we live with.
Benefits and Work want to hear from people with ADHD, autism, anxiety or depression, and their carers, about the extra costs you face. Your contribution will help to build a case for protecting cash benefits for people with these conditions.

Great to see @InclusionLondon launch Disability Media Action.
Research shows that Disabled people are rarely included in news stories about us. The media has a powerful role in shaping public attitudes and policy.
Let's challenge harmful narratives and create lasting change!
Disablism in the media feeds hostility and hate crime against Disabled people. It's got to stop.
This National Hate Crime Awareness Week, we're launching Disability Media Action. #NationalHCAW
ALT Disability media action. Logo of a pair of binoculars with eyes. Make disablism unprofitable. 3 steps. 1. Monitor. We have launched an online form, through which people can send us any media coverage which concerns them, and any adverts which appeared alongside it. 2. Expose. We will bring together the evidence gathered, building up a pattern of evidence that cannot be dismissed. 3. Change. We will use our evidence base to put pressure on advertisers to stop funding media outlets who spread disablism. If advertisers don’t fund them, media organisations have another reason to change. Let’s show the media that disablism doesn’t pay.
Many Disabled people want to carry on working, but employers aren't always willing to work with us.
We talked to journalist Linda Howard about new Government plans to help Disabled people stay in work, and why employers need to do their bit: buff.ly/YYcQroL
