After a summer of discontent and rebellions around welfare reform, the government has announced how it will look into the future of Personal Independence Payments (Pip) with the Timms Review, named after the Government minister in charge.

That Minister is Sir Stephen Timms and he joins Emma to reveal who will be working with him on the review and how you can get involved. He also admits delays with Access to Work are getting worse, not better.
Natasha Bloor had no idea she would be making headlines when she decided to train as a hairdresser. But the deaf stylist who communicates in British Sign Language (BSL) has become quite the hit, with deaf people from around the world flying in and booking their appointments with her so they can relax and chat while in the salon.
Disabled influencer Eliza Rain, aka Disabled Eliza, also joins Emma Tracey in the studio to chat about what she does, and rolling, not running, the London Marathon.
Presented by Emma Tracey
Sound mixed by Dave O'Neill
