"Figures show 73% of people with #learning #disabilities, 86% of those who had an #amputation, & 62% of #claimants with #cerebral #palsy were given fixed-term #awards - meaning they are required to undergo #reassessments every 3 years. This also applied to 89% of claimants with #multiple #sclerosis & 61% with Parkinson’s - conditions with little to no prospect of significant #improvement." This is all part of the ongoing #war against the #disabled in the #UK!

New research by UCLA Health has identified a sex-chromosome linked #gene that drives #inflammation in the #female brain, offering insight into why #women are disproportionately affected by conditions such as #Alzheimer’s disease and multiple #sclerosis as well as offering a potential target for intervention.
