Another shattered castor wheel casing after meeting one too many rubbish dropped kerbs with a lip 🤬 Saving grace was that it happened locally so made it home by going backwards to get around lack of steering. More expense ❗️But at least now I have a back up chair #DisabledLife
Still waiting for a response, IHG Hotels & Resorts. Don't want to address the concerns of a disabled traveller who endured rather than enjoyed their stay? I guess not. I still want the correspondence email and physical address, by the way. #wheelchairlife #disability #disabledlife #MS
Great. Just tried ringing Department for Work and Pensions re #ESA payments; line went quiet & then dead. This is all such a con. #Disabilitytwitter #disabledlife #neisvoid #chronicillness #chronicpain
Oh, ok. Now I’m through to all the ?s & weird Clanger noises. #DWP #ESA #disabilitytwitter #disabledlife #neisvoid #chronicpain
Deaf and disabled people belong. We are just the same as you. We are social, so take us off the medical model.

Anyone else not had new benefits increase, yet? #Disabilitytwitter #disabledlife #neisvoid #chronicillness #chronicpain #pip #ESA
Anyone have the following cars:
Dacia Jogger
Ford Grand Tourneo Connect
Volkswagen Caddy Maxi
Citreon Berlingo XL
I need to see photos of any of these, in use as wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAVs), please! Might be upgrading…

Natalya Dell Department for Work and Pensions That makes no sense (on their part).
Apparently PIP went up 8/4, so why isn’t it reflected in today’s payment? I bet DWP won’t bother to backdate anyone’s benefits… #disabilitytwitter #disabledlife #neisvoid #chronicillness #chronicpain #ESA
I know for a fact it was read last week, cos my concurrent request for opioids was put thru, so why’ve I not had any response from a Dr??
#Disabilitytwitter #disabledlife #neisvoid #chronicillness #chronicpain
Dr Rebecca Linnett (she/her) DWP There’s been 3 working days since April 4, why can’t DWPgovuk manage to apply increase in that time?! So, some recipients get the increase in April, & some don’t. That’s really unfair, DWP. #Disabilitytwitter #disabledlife #neisvoid #chronicillness #chronicpain
Phone call from Dr I’ve never heard of. Swear she was 12.
“I’ve been told to ring u?” Clearly, she read my notes thoroughly, then.
#Disabilitytwitter #disabledlife #neisvoid #chronicillness #chronicpain
Had PIP today… £1.94 increase.
That’s me not seeing 6.7% increase to ESA or PIP this month, then.
Wonder how many other people Department for Work and Pensions have stolen money from, by not increasing their benefits in April.

V concerned that, in a mo, a dr’s gonna stop me ordering oramorph cos I’m having to do it so frequently.
But, as I explained in econsult, I’ve NO other way to manage extreme #ChronicPain .
Hence why I wanna TALK TO SOMEONE.

I don’t sleep brilliantly, either. Even on a “good” night, I’m waking up like 4-5 times.
Not left house since Tues, cos I’m so physically & emotionally tired. And, going out HURTS. #disabilitytwitter #disabledlife #neisvoid #chronicillness #chronicpain
But, when I prompt them? They’ll triage it.
Ffs. Bet surgery thought they’d placated me by putting request for oramorph* thru quickly.
No. I actually want to SPEAK to someone.
*which is out of stock.
#Disabilitytwitter #disabledlife #neisvoid #chronicpain
Said she’d speak to pain team’s secretary; try to fast-track me.
Told me to order oramorph PRN, but that I’m only meant to order it 1x a month.
So, someone w/ #ChronicPain is meant to survive on 100ml oramorph per month. Bravo. #disabilitytwitter #disabledlife #neisvoid
Mr Emerson Motability Operations Luckily
I had my own car back at home, but Motability Operations didn't take the car, with a flat tyre, ffs back to the dealership where I live.
They stole the car and contents and all the info I got was its in Colchester

Savannah Guthrie Hello. I watched your interview with Stephen Colbert. I am also from Tucson. I have a BA in communication, still trying to break into the business. Do people still send out tapes? Any advice would greatly help. #DisabledLife #news
Soms zit mijn kat met haar volle gewicht op mijn neurofibromen ( goedaardige tumoren) als ze op schoot ligt.
Dit kan ze natuurlijk niet weten, maar doet echt pijn, maar als ik haar probeer te verplaatsen wordt ze boos 😭
