Thanks to @richardburgon.bsky.social and @eddavey.libdems.org.uk for standing against reported government plans to cut vital disability benefits at today's PMQs.

Our social security system should be there to support us all, especially when we need it most.

"Treasury guidance attaches a monetary value to wellbeing, and the economic value of claiming disability benefits is estimated to be around £12,300 per person."

@isabellamcrae.bsky.social covers our new report for the Big Issue: www.bigissue.com/news/social-...

Disability benefits system actually good for the economy, economists say

Disability benefits have a positive impact on people's wellbeing which outweighs the cost of administering them, economists have found.
