On Friday 14th July, the Government published its new Drug Strategy: ‘2017 Drug Strategy'.

Living with a disability or a long-term condition such as HIV can increase the risk of being financially excluded as well as having a significant impact on one’s finances. The findings of this report demonstrate that people living with HIV continue to experience barriers to access to some financial products, particularly insurance.

The following report is not intended to be exhaustive, but to demonstrate a range of different experiences, and some of the barriers to making social connections for disabled people. It is also important to note it is common for cross-overs to exist between different conditions, with many disabled people having more than one type of impairment.

A significant minority of people living with HIV in the UK will find their condition presents barriers to participation and independence. Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is a benefit which helps to pay for the extra costs of daily life with a long-term condition, thereby promoting independence.
