A #disabled person is no less disabled if they cohabit. No less worthy of dignity and autonomy, but these are taken away from them due to this hideously unjust twist of law. It is punitive and deliberate.
It MUST change.

And as ever in this unjust country, this law will most impact those who are already multiply marginalised. Disabled people who are Black or Brown. Disabled people who are #LGBTQ+ will be worst affected.
They should have the #RightToLove

This means that two adults, one (at least) with additional needs and expenses, are plunged into hardship. Because they love each other and want to live together and the government is cruel.
There is no #RightToLove in the UK.

Good evening lovely people of the elephant! I very much hope you're all well and I'm sorry I haven't posted here in ages. I was wondering if you would mind signing this petition aimed at allowing disabled people to keep all of our benefits if we were to find love and moving with a partner. It is something that affects me personally, and I am deeply passionate about. Thank you very much.
