The government promised £1200 to “the most vulnerable”. But some are falling through the cracks. 💡 We want a social energy tariff that doesn’t exclude people like Karis - people struggling with high energy bills while ineligible for the existing support.

As a disabled person I need electricity to keep me alive. So why is it costing me so much?| Karis...
Due to a technicality in the benefit system, I am not eligible for the means tested support for ‘the most vulnerable’, says Karis Williamson

📈 Although disability awareness may be improving in some areas of employment, there’s still a long way to go. Many disabled people feel that unconscious bias and ableism can still get in the way of being hired.

🤔 On one hand, some may feel like disclosing it from the outset could affect them even getting an interview. On the other, many disabled people feel they have no choice but to disclose their condition or impairment, to ensure access needs or reasonable adjustments can be made.

📧 "Thanks for applying. We regret to inform you that your application was unsuccessful." For many disabled people looking to get into work, this can be a familiar occurrence. As a result, it can impact whether they decide to disclose their condition or impairment🧵
Text asset that reads: "Telling people about your condition or impairment is your choice."

Hi
@Telegraph
, Why are you so against disabled children being able to see themselves reflected in their toys? Don't they deserve the right to play?  Weaponising disabled representation like this is hugely damaging.  Please change this headline.

New range of toys with physical and mental disabilities in effort to 'enable more children to feel represented during play'

💡 If your energy bills were cut in half by a social energy tariff, what would it mean for you? 💬 For some of the disabled people and carers we asked, it would mean everything.

💷 Life costs a lot more when you’re disabled. We’re being inundated with calls from disabled people who haven’t eaten for days, who can’t afford energy to charge wheelchairs and stairlifts, but are still racking up huge energy debts.

📈 You might have seen the news that Centrica, the owner of British Gas, has made record profits of over £3 billion this year. A year where energy bills for disabled customers have reached unsustainable and unaffordable heights.

What a frustrating and inaccessible way to announce a platform update 🤦‍♀️ This is how someone using a screen-reader experiences tweets like this. Accessibility cannot continue to be an afterthought.

So, no matter what the world around you is doing or saying, be kind to yourself 💜 🧠 You and your brain are an asset to the world. We need people who think differently and experience the world in different ways. It’s important. And so are you.

💬 “Just put your phone down. Just meditate. Just get organised.” But it’s not that simple. When you can’t switch your mind off or focus on a task, it isn’t a case of ‘just’ doing anything.

From disbelief to ill-advised suggestions, negative attitudes and myths about ADHD come from all directions. 😫 It can be easy to feel stuck between people that don’t believe you, and those that think there’s an easy ‘fix’. Often, the advice is the same from both.
