At breaking point: The reality of cutting disability benefits
from A Slice of Bread and Butter · host The Bread and Butter Thing
Ahead of this week's government announcements, Mark and Vic catch up with Kath, who is living with multiple chronic health conditions and the fear of financial ruin if welfare reforms cut her benefits. Relying on her wife Viv as a full-time carer and Bread and Butter for affordable healthy food, they battle the overly complicated benefits system whilst struggling to eat healthily on a tight budget. Together, they talk through the impact of welfare reforms, the tough choices between pricey, nutritious food and cheap, processed options, and the toll it all takes on Kath's mental health.
