What's in the Autumn Statement for disabled people?


Listen Later

Benefits are set to go up with inflation, according to Chancellor Jeremy Hunt's Autumn Statement, but what's in it for you if you're disabled? Nikki Fox and Emma Tracey get the crucial lowdown from Fazilet Hadid from Disability Rights UK.

If you are disabled and thinking of taking a break to New York, her recent experiences might just come in handy.

Producers: Beth Rose, Keiligh Baker, Amy Elizabeth and Emma Tracey
Recording/mixing: Dave O'Neill
Editors: Damon Rose and Jonathan Aspinwall
