Romance Novels About Benefit Claimants
A message I received recently. Thought these books might make nice Christmas presents for book loving DWP dislikers!
I’ve notice that your ‘samedifference’ webpage includes details of books with disabled characters, so wondered if you would be interested my work. ‘Severe Discomfort’, and its sequel ‘Continual Supervision’, concern a middle-aged disabled couple wrongly accused of benefit fraud, and the team of under-resourced advisers who support them through a nightmare year as they try to establish their innocence.
Despite the serious topic, it’s an upbeat story with plenty of dry humour, a cheerfully racy romance and a devious, hypocritical villain, but it also challenges those insidious myths about benefit claimants and the Social Security system we hear so frequently.

I’m also serialising a sequel, currently only available in ebook format called ‘Limited Capability’ (I think you’ll see where the titles are drawn from by now!), and putting out episodes free on regular Fridays, since the plan is counter-propaganda rather than profit. Episode One (plus five and nine) will be free this Friday, two, six and ten next etc.
I’d obviously be delighted if you liked what I’ve written and could help promote it in any way.
Best wishes, and good luck with your own writing.
