Calling all of my disabled followers who love beauty.
How accessible do you think the beauty industry really is?

'Shocking government cuts to my work support have taken a huge toll on me'
New article ⬇️

I just had a decision back from Access to Work @DWPgovuk telling me that my support hours are going to be reduced from 37 to 8.
I am absolutely devastated as a disabled journalist having a support worker is vital and this is going to impact my job.
Does anyone have any advice?
Just wondering if any of my disabled friends who are in receipt of Access to Work have had to wait ages to get a response about an ongoing claim?
Four weeks later, and I’m still waiting for them to get back to me.
@GWRHelp As a result I’m now sat somewhere not comfortable or accessible without my carer.
This is honestly a joke!
