party 2015 abolish workfare sanctions benefit cuts the left unity party manifesto 2015 disabled the work capability assessment wca has been misused to force disabled people off benefits and has caused distress and poverty it is unfit for purpose and must be scrapped see social security the results will be the same whether atos runs it or any other contractor disabled people should be supported to

challenge westminster disability benefit cuts rolling out personal independence payments pips to replace disability living allowance will see over 100 000 working age disabled people in scotland lose some or all of their benefit by 2018 representing a cut of 300 million a year with a loss of at least 1 120 a year per person who loses out some 47 000 disabled people in scotland are expected to lose up to 2 964 a year as a consequence of changes in eligibility to the mobility component at uk level the cut in disability benefit represents nearly 3 billion a year by 2017 18 with over a million people losing out the snp propose a modest increase in public spending in real terms in order to stop proposed cuts and support halting the roll out of personal independence payments to stop the savage cuts to disability benefits labour s track record in scotland is voting with the tories and lib dems against halting the roll out of pips plaid cymru wales plaid cymru would battle the westminster parties obsession with austerity the big issues facing his constituents are housing disability benefits and healthcare are the first generally in wales people think plaid can t form a government but it s different this time says larsen we ll almost certainly hold the balance of power new polls matter because this election comes down to tory labour marginals http may2015 com featured arfon where plaid cymru are trying to keep welsh nationalism alive and labour out plaid cymru and nhs in wales plaid cymru rejects the marketisation and privatisation of the nhs and will oppose any moves in that direction from governments in westminster and wales particularly if it affects the funding of the nhs in wales as well as training and recruiting 1 000 additional doctors plaid cymru wants to increase the number of district and community nurses to support people outside of hospital more rural gps plaid supports a medical accountability bill including a duty of candour so that healthcare professionals are legally bound to tell the truth to the patient and their family plaid cymru welfare and state pensions against implementing universal credit abolish bedroom tax

ceccatty says august 10 2016 at 3 43 pm dear disability voices team my name is samuel de ceccatty i am an award winning filmmaker currently in pre production of a short film called the advantage starring uk paralympian stefanie reid paralympic silver medalist and 5 times world record holder the film tells the story of julie who has always wanted to be a pro athlete but recently lost her left leg in an accident now recovering julie is getting used to her prosthetic and keen to get back to athletics yet she soon realizes that being labeled as disabled means people even her family expect her to give up her dream julie s perseverance coupled with new technological breakthroughs will lead her to getting one step closer to her goal and to challenging the public perception of disabilities my team and i are dedicated to telling a story which promotes disabilities in athletics and challenges the general perception of people with disabilities as a terrific outlet promoting equal opportunities for the disabled we would love to have disability voices support behind our film if you think you might be interested in the project we would love some help promoting our campaign set to launch soon after the closure of the paralympics i d like to send you a booklet with more details about the project you can also see examples of my past work on my website catandbearpictures com i
