After a tumultuous week in politics, for disabled people two things stand out.
First, Government has back-tracked on the plan to restrict eligibility for PIP: this is an immediate win for the disability movement, which all campaigners should take a moment to celebrate.
Second, there is - at last - a high profile public debate on disability policy. Finally some public figures are saying – as we have said for years – that policy must be driven by a real commitment to what works in the lives of people living with health conditions or disability.
This goes beyond the immediate debate on PIP: we want investment in participation, not short-term cuts that cause misery and are counter-productive, actually increasing spending long-term.
