Crippled is a damning indictment of a safety net gone wrong, and a passionate demand for an end to austerity measures hitting those most in need.
In austerity Britain, disabled people have become the favourite target. From social care to the benefits system, politicians and media alike have made the case that Britain’s 12 million disabled people are a drain on the public purse. In Crippled, leading commentator Frances Ryan exposes the disturbing reality, telling the story of those most affected by this devastating regime. This includes a paralysed man forced to crawl down the stairs because the council wouldn’t provide accessible housing and the young girl with bipolar forced to turn to sex work to survive. Through these personal stories, Ryan charts how in recent years the public attitude towards disabled people has transformed from compassion to contempt: from society’s ‘most vulnerable’ to benefit cheats.

Pretty much the same in the US. Most people here don’t even know that SSA is responsible for administering a program for disability benefits, or how corrupt, unethical and screwed up that system is.
If SSA decides I don’t deserve benefits anymore I have ten days to appeal. I don’t always manage to get to the post office every 10 days. By contrast corporations have 30-60 days to appeal unfavorable tax decisions and criminals have a minimum of 30 days, but usually much longer, to appeal adverse criminal decisions.
A system that cared about the disabled wouldn’t give them the shortest response window, hold the least capable to the most stringent schedule. And that’s pretty much the attitude the entire system has. Better than India, better than almost all of Africa, much worse than most of Europe. But better than terrible still isn’t great.
