In this weeks Hot Topic, hosts Jordan James and Simon Scott discuss the alarming new proposals for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) in the UK, which could lead to 90% of current standard daily living awards failing on renewal.

Here's what we cover in this episode:

• We share personal experiences with the PIP application process, highlighting the struggles faced by those with disabilities, particularly neurodivergent individuals.
• What are the implications of these changes, the internalized ableism that many face when attempting the application process?
• We express our frustration over the system's failures and emphasize the importance of community unity in advocating for the rights of disabled individuals.
