Briefing: Disabled People, Poverty and the Cost of Living Crisis Version 2

The cost of living crisis continues to take an unrelenting and horrific toll on disabled people, with many struggling to survive. This must not be allowed to become the ‘new normal’ and to fade from the headlines and the political agenda. Inclusion Scotland has published an updated Policy Briefing and accompanying Evidence Pack for disabled people, policy and decision-makers. Our briefing expands on the calls for urgent action made in our original briefing (November 2022) and takes account of how the crisis is now cutting even deeper. #StackedAgainstUs

Briefing Version 2, published 12/06/23 is the updated version of our cost of living briefing. We will continue to update due to the changing nature of the cost of living crisis and as new issues and evidence emerges.
