In this episode of Voices of One Fylde, Marilyn and Rebecca explore recent discussions around possible changes to disability benefits.
They break down what’s being proposed, including concerns that some disabled people could receive less support if their condition is not seen as lifelong.
Using clear and simple language, they look at why charities are worried, how decisions like this are made, and what it could mean for everyday life — from independence to wellbeing.
This episode is about understanding, awareness, and making sure disabled voices are part of the conversation.
