According to a recent article by TUC (Changing the World of Work for Good), the disability pay gap has not significantly improved over the past ten years.

The analysis reveals that the pay gap for disabled workers across the board is £1.90 an hour, or £66.50 per week – over what the average household spends on their weekly food shop (£62.20).
