The survey should take less than 15 minutes to complete and you will be able to respond until 20 October.

DBC is a national coalition of over 30 different charities and other organisations committed to working towards a fair benefits system. They wish to achieve a benefits system that:

• Upholds the human rights of disabled people;
• Is informed by the needs and experiences of all disabled people;
• Is fair in its design and administration;
• Is transparent and accountable;
• Fully meets the diverse needs of each disabled person;
• Supports disabled people to meet the extra costs associated with disability;
• Reflects the barriers faced by those disabled people seeking to access work;
• Contributes towards tackling disability poverty and inequality, and interacts with other government measures to achieve this;
• Tackles stigma surrounding disability benefits and the people that claim them; and
• Is widely understood and easy to access.
