A UK disabled journalist lost 80% of her Access to Work grant despite unchanged needs, triggering a mental health crisis and job disruption.
A disabled London journalist says her UK government Access to Work grant was cut by 80% despite unchanged needs, severely impacting her ability to work due to severe sight impairment.
The sudden loss of funding for transport, equipment, and support staff triggered a mental health crisis and made job tasks nearly impossible.
She was told there was no appeal option, highlighting systemic issues including lack of transparency, inconsistent decisions, and 30-week delays for new claims.
Similar cases are reported nationwide, with no official data on job losses linked to cuts.
Critics say the program meant to support disabled workers is now creating barriers, discouraging employment and undermining inclusion.
