“Disabled people are better off on benefits.”
That’s what the Daily Mail claims — again. But what’s the real cost of headlines like this?
In this solo episode of Wheelie MS Advocate, I share my lived experience as a disabled person on Universal Credit and PIP.
From public judgement to online abuse, from policy decisions to being labelled a “#SickFluencer,” this is what it really feels like to be the scapegoat in a political game.
🎧 Topics covered in this episode:
How headlines fuel stigma and hate
Why “sickfluencers” isn’t a term we chose
The reality of living on PIP and UC
GPs being told to send sick patients to the gym
What real resistance looks like in a hostile system
🧠 If you’ve felt dehumanised, dismissed, or disbelieved — you’re not alone.
