Grapevine, along with Inclusion Scotland and Disability History Scotland are jointly hosting an event for disabled people to have a say about the new social security powers which will eventually be transferred to Scotland to deliver.
Over half of the £22 billion of the cuts to benefits between 2010 – 2015 fell on disabled people and their families.
Disabled people are made to go through lots of assessments for their benefits. This can be stressful and upsetting.
The new Scottish disability benefit system should be designed with the help of disabled people. This is called co-production.
We will discuss:
- How the new system can be used to support disabled people?
- Disabled people’s needs?
- Extra costs?
- Barriers?
- What do dignity and respect mean to you?
- What other values should be used?
The Scottish Government will also be there to listen to your views and answer any questions.
