In my opinion much of this is due to the poor quality of jobs available in the left behind parts of the UK. Where I am from in Wales, the work is largely manual, care work, warehouse work, supermarkets or factories. The public sector is a big employer and is better for accommodating disabilities but they’ve had a decade of cuts.
The poorly paid manual jobs that proliferate most of the UK outside London are inherently not accommodating of disabled people. They are hard if you have a physical condition. And employers often have poor quality management who don’t know how to support eg someone with other disabilities or autism, etc.
Disabled people in Wales: NHS when can I get the surgery/therapy I need so I can rejoin the workforce?
NHS: *checks watch* 3 years waitlist to start the process
Government: Why are people claiming disability benefits for so long?
It wouldn’t have to be this way if the government didn’t cut back on services that help disabled people in to work e.g. access to work.
Many of the jobs listed on the job centre list aren’t even disabled suitable and those that are aren’t listed as disability confident.
I am disabled I am an MIP and I still manage to work from home albeit with limited hours. I could not mentally function anymore than 16 hours a week.
Also Wales: Let’s delay medical treatment to save money!

Wales is a very bumpy place.
