“Even more stringent benefit cuts are on the cards.” “Ministers are planning billions in cuts to disability benefits.” “the House of Lords economic affairs committee said this might not be enough.”
FFS just legalise euthanasia already. I’d rather get a quick injection than starve to death out on the streets. Even the Nazis were kinder to the disabled, gassing them to death quickly.
You bring up an important point that I don’t see talked about enough. Disabled people don’t have marriage equality for this reason.
It’s partially why I haven’t sought a professional diagnosis from a psychologist. My therapist confirmed my diagnosis though. I’m married so if I was to earn disability payments after paying $3000 or so for a diagnosis, my already low payments would be cut in half because I’m married.
The only reason I’ve ever even considered seeking disability payments is because I’m among the unlucky statistics of autism that is historically unemployed.
