To Liz Kendall, Minister for Work and Pensions

The government and press discredit themselves and disabled people by spreading rhetoric that it's more dignified for those suffering long term health issues and disabilities to work, forgoing the need for welfare benefits.

Open letter text

Stop the assault on disabled people with long term health issues of all types and stop disabled people being forced to take work capability assessments. Change how disabled people are being decimated through government and press attacks on their inability to work, which degrades their self-worth and dignity by stating it's not dignified to be supported by state benefits and the only way they can "contribute to society" is through work alone.
