This from the website OUCH ......
Do you expect to be hit hard by the cost of living crisis because you are disabled?
Would you be up for tracking your spending over the next 12 months and openly chatting with our BBC colleague J***y about how the rising costs are affecting your day-to-day life and spending decisions?
If so, he’s running a project tracking all of this and he’s keen to hear from you.
Email johny.cassidy@bbc.co.uk if you are interested in taking part.
