‘I don’t want to live on benefits, I want to work’

“I don’t want to benefit throughout my life.”

Young Kailee Kember-Brown, a wheelchair users, says he has applied for more than 40 jobs so far.

Kailee from Dover in the City has the right to fill the universal credit income due to disability.

This means that the 19 -year -old child doesn’t have to look for a job, but he wants one to avoid having to get bored at home. Most of his friends also work.

And the financial situation may also change soon, under the government, long -term diseases or disabled under the age of 22 plans to reduce universal credit health loading, currently like Kailee to people like £ 423 per month, Comprehensive Welfare Reform offers.

A government consultation to come to the fore for under the age of 22 will end on Monday.

Most of them are wider reforms specified in the universal credit and personal independence payment invoice, Rebellion from more than 120 workers’ deputiesSigning a change that requesting the scrapping of offers.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer in his statement on Wednesday Planned to progress with plans Despite the criticism, he added that his party was “quite united” about reform needs.

In general, the government said it would save £ 5 billion per year by 2030 with deductions on disability and disease payments.

The ministers also say that changes in the aid system to help those who “stuck” to find a job.

However, Kailie, which means that functional neurological disorder is physically weak and forced to walk, says that she only returns from one quarter of her job applications.

Disability means that it requires certain adjustments from employers such as accessible facilities and flexible hours to allow you to participate in physiotherapy and doctor appointments.

Most of the jobs he applied to is related to companies that encourage employers to hire and keep disabled personnel, listed in the government’s plan of disability confidence, and Kailee says it is particularly “courageous” when he cannot get news from them.

“When you resort to this and ‘Oh my God, I’m marking all the boxes’, and then they never come back to you, even look at your CV, a kind, what do I want to do now?”

Jane Hatton, who runs a business platform for disabled job seekers and employs only disabled personnel, says that many employers will not have the necessary skills for disabled employees or get more patient days than their non -disabled colleagues.

“As a employer, if you interview two candidates with equal value in all other respects – one of them is not blocked and one of them may need adjustments – [you might be] Attractive to go with a non -disabled person, “he says

However, he added that these stereotypes are not caused by reality and that possible employers should support all candidates with the adjustments they need.

“The obstacles faced by people tend to be inaccessible recruitment processes, or he says.

“What we say to the employers is about adjusting to the development of people.”

He also says that he does not work effectively enough for disabled people designed by government plans such as access (ATW) to support.

The ministers had previously accepted the issues related to ATW and said how they could look at how they could be updated.

One of the biggest concerns for disabled people and campaignists among the government’s welfare reforms is the plan to change the conformity criteria for Payment of Personal Independence (PIP).

The benefit is designed to pay the additional living costs that many disabled people face travel and transportation to home adaptations and care.

The proposed changes in the PIP are one of the reasons of Backbencher, many workers who decide to oppose the government’s legislation.

However, Timms added that the PIP needs reform, the cost of providing benefit is “unsustainable” and that the government “will end with tears if it does not move”.

“I want to make sure that the Pip will be there exactly every year, for those with serious disorders that are very dependent.” He said.
