No you don't; I am now classed as disabled by a MH condition that arose as a result IMO of the cuts because I was so very petrified of what would happen to my disabled children. Now, it so happens that my condition is responding to medications (only a month at a time, apparently I am high risk, hardly with 2 autistic boys to be there for!) so I don't need any extra financial help or input but it does go to show how quickly these things can happen.
And how damaging it is to rip apart the systems that support those who need it most.
It was always going to happen though; and this thread will almost certainly either disappear into nothing or become filled with bile.
Remember though the words of Pratchett- a former PR man, much like our dear PM- 'poison goes where poison's welcome'- ie there are enough people looking for someone to blame apart from themselves* ready to jump on the first innocent target presented to them.
Also, remember the curse may you live in interesting times- somehow I think we do!
(My philosophy is not limited to Pratchet,, I do have a degree in Religion and Philosophy LOL, just seems to fit).
- Some of these will be equally innocent people afeared of losing their job or house who deserve our empathy; some will be those who spent the past decade racking up debts and loans who probably also deserve empathy but need to take a hard look at themselves before blaming someone else!
