Long Covid sufferers open up about lives destroyed by illness as they accuse government of ignoring them
Long Covid sufferers, including a former academic, express fear and outrage over proposed UK welfare cuts, citing their reliance on benefits due to debilitating symptoms that prevent them from working. An estimated two million people in England and Scotland have Long Covid, with a significant portion severely limited in their daily activities and many requiring benefits. Long Covid patients are calling for more government support, research, and treatment options, accusing the government of ignoring them and attempting to sweep the issue "under the rug" with a lack of support and resources, despite the ongoing impact on their lives and the economy.
