People shouldn’t be forced through a degrading & dehumanizing process to receive disability assistance
They shouldn’t be treated as a fake, a burden and an undesirable just to get a benefit that keeps them in legislated poverty
Everyone deserves a living wage, food, housing & healthcare

No need for a moral panic about the welfare system
It’s far from perfect, but the UK’s spending is broadly controlled and employment is high
