Wales does not exist.

I registered with a government website as part of my search for work. Filling in the details there is a drop down menu to select your region. This is a long list of counties together with Scotland, Northern Ireland and Isle of Man......but nothing for anything near where I live. No Powys, no Ceredigion, nor Dyfed, not even "Wales".

No option for typing in anything.

It starts in April. Disabled people will lose Universal Credit support if their condition MIGHT improve.

It was always the plan — I told you about it last year - and now it’s happening.

The Timms Review into PIP being conducted for the DWP is calling for evidence, they apparently "committed to engaging with disabled people, the organisations that represent them, carers, clinicians, experts, MPs and other stakeholders" so hopefully if enough people shout they have to listen.

Open until 11:59pm on 28 May 2026

@etchedpixels @ChrisMayLA6 There have been attempts to "involve" #disabled people in policy-making in the UK. I was a member of a group of #autistic people who were consulted by civil servants from the #DWP at the National Autistic Society in London over changes to the #benefit system. We might as well have been talking to a brick wall!
