Exhibition caption written by Hidden Ink for Zines Forever! DIY Publications and Disability Justice at Wellcome Collection: "Since this zine was first published in 2018, Social Security has been devolved to the Scottish Government. This meant Scotland had a chance to redesign disability benefits. The new system here is similar in many ways, and radically different in others. My old PIP award was given in 2 year increments, perpetually exhausting and futile as my health conditions are lifelong - when I was moved over to Adult Disability Payment, it was issued for 10 years, the maximum possible review period. I was believed. I’ve reflected on what it means to reprint this zine. 6 years later, following the Infected Blood compensation scheme, Post Office scandal, midway through a Covid inquiry - I wonder what would compensation for DWP harms look like? Will we ever see justice for sanctions, deaths and institutional violence towards disabled people from austere UK Governments?"
