If I wouldn't accept behaviour face to face I won't here.

I have been remembering back to a program I was part of exploring the DDA after a year. One of the major concerns was now we have an equality law will governments go after the support disabled people have? It's taken 30+ years but now it's becoming standard thinking.

My pain has gone just beyond today. As I read all the replies from non-disabled wingnuts that have believed the scrounger myth around pip I honestly wish I had the ability to give them half an hour of what I'm experiencing today. If they survived they'd shut their trap.

Something about the "treatment" of chronic pain that I just don't get is it's either a low level of medication leaving your head clear but in more pain or high levels of meds that help a bit but leave you useless, with nausea or brain fog. Today I'm going for the latter.

I'm seeing so many posts about making PIP a voucher scheme. How the hell do they imagine that would work? Do I save up my vouchers for my next wheelchair? Or cash them in for the medical stuff I buy each month? Will Motability accept vouchers? It's rubbish. Just stirring up hate
