My Story

In the UK, Disabled people have gone from being the group hit hardest by a decade of austerity, to facing disproportionate deaths and barriers to care during the pandemic. They are now at the sharp end of the cost-of-living crisis, and the Universal Credit Bill passed this summer will exacerbate these issues even further.

The government has promised to co-produce future reforms with Disabled people's organisations (DPOs). Disability Rights UK is a vital voice in that conversation, working with other DPOs, public bodies, businesses and Government across the UK to influence regional and national change for better rights, accessibility, benefits, quality of life and economic opportunities for Disabled people.
