After a year where work has been difficult, things are finally picking up. I have been building a lot of bridges and a number of things, including the publication of my ‘Achieve Support’ report has meant that my profile has increased in a positive way. I can put the ATOS incident of last summer behind me, and concentrate on moving forward and this is great.

The last few weeks, new opportunities has come my way and everything seems to be in the right place in my life. I also feel I am now regarded as a respected player to the future of disability politics, especially as more understand my viewpoint.

I love where I am in my life at the moment and where I am going.
