UK: New coalition will shine spotlight on ‘devastating’ impact of cost-of-living crisis

"A new coalition of disabled people’s organisations (DPOs) is aiming to shine a spotlight on the “devastating impact” of the spiralling cost of living that is “threatening disabled people’s survival”.

The Disability Poverty Campaign Group (DPCG) warned this week that DPOs across the country were reporting that disability poverty was “widespread and deepening”.

The coalition has been set up to address increasing levels of poverty among disabled people affected by rising food and fuel prices, and the failure of benefits to keep up with those increases.

DPCG is currently led by a steering group of Disability Rights UK, Inclusion London, and Inclusion Barnet, and is open to DPOs across the UK*."
