We currently had mini Reshuffle, however no new Disabled Minister for in replacement of Tom Pursglove..

Last update show common challenges in disability inclusion in the UK include a persistent employment gap, with disabled individuals facing higher unemployment rates. Inaccessible infrastructure and services remain problematic, hindering mobility and participation. Mental health support for people with disabilities often falls short, exacerbating social isolation. Though progress has been made, these hidden shortfalls underscore the ongoing crisis, demanding continued attention and targeted interventions for a more inclusive society. For the latest data, consult official government reports and disability advocacy organizations in the UK. The cost of living crisis is hitting Disabled people hard, forcing many to choose between heating and eating.

Too many Disabled people lived in poverty before the cost of living crisis hit. Now 4 in 10 Disabled people already cut back on food and other essentials and 600,000 Disabled people have less than £10 per week to live on. The disastrous rise in living costs in the UK will have a disproportionately negative impact on the disabled community. Disabled people – who make up one-fifth of the working age population – are more likely to have higher living costs and to live in a low-income household than their non-disabled peers. They also have higher rates of unemployment, under-employment and worklessness.

Just under half of all people living in poverty in the UK are disabled or living with a disabled person. Prior to the recent and extreme increases in energy costs, disabled people are already more likely to live in a cold home during the winter months.
