Bleakly embarrassing to see pundits praise the U.K. government for standing up to Israel. Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been murdered, children’s limbs ripped off. And government and media support let that happen. There should be no applause for finally noticing a genocide they helped arm.

A lot in today's health and disability #pathwaystowork Green Paper. Might be helpful to see this in four areas: 1. Big savings (aka cuts) by removing PIP from some disabled people (those who never score 4+ on a single daily living descriptor). Number of losers unclear from today's materials. 1/4

Crucially, claimants should have greater choice and autonomy about how and where assessments and reassessments are carried out
000
Will Day @wiam.bsky.social · 18/03/2025
These changes in health could be an improvement or a decline in health and would lead to a reassessment to determine if levels of financial support are still appropriate.
100
Will Day @wiam.bsky.social · 18/03/2025
Instead, there should be a movement towards a model of trust, in which benefits are awarded indefinitely until claimants report a change in their health

Will Day @wiam.bsky.social · 18/03/2025
Constant reassessment causes avoidable distress and uncertainty. Through my PhD research, I argued that reassessments for all chronic illnesses should be no longer required
100
Will Day @wiam.bsky.social · 18/03/2025
after the weeks of speculation, it's disappointing to see what the government's welfare proposals amount to. The tightening of PIP criteria and increase in frequency of reassessments are particularly unhelpful

I know coverage of disability benefits can be very distressing. So, I’ve worked with colleagues to make a range of support visible on The Guardian’s site. If you click on a relevant news story, you’ll see a “drop box” of signposted mental health help as well as benefits advice.
Mental health support
• Mind runs a support line on 0300 102 1234 as a safe and confidential place to talk openly. It also has an information line, on 0300 123 3393, for details of where to get help near you. And its welfare benefits line – 0300 222 5782 – supports anyone with mental health problems who is navigating the benefits system.
• Samaritans is there to talk to you for free 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Call them on 116 123 or email jo@samaritans.org.
• The disability charity Scope has a forum where you can chat in a supportive atmosphere to people going through the same experiences.
• NHS England has an online mental health triage service.Benefits support
• The Trussell Trust's Help through Hardship helpline, on 0808 208 2138, is a free and confidential phone service offered alongside Citizens Advice that provides advice to people experiencing hardship. You can also find your local Trussell Trust food bank here.
• Benefits and Work provides guides, forums and newsletters to help people navigate the benefits system and get the support they are entitled to. This includes benefit applications and appeals.
• Turn2Us provides a free benefits calculator to help you find out what benefits you can claim, as well as a grants search service and a Pip Helper to assist you in applying for the benefit.
• The Law Centres website helps people find their local service for benefits support and more, while Advicelocal provides a search directory tool to find your local advice provider.

The badges have a blue background with an orange 'explosion' that reads PHARA bullet shaped window looking out at a warehouse building.Two stacks of cookies that represent balancing on a seesaw.
