Scope Disability Research

Survey of disabled adults around their experiences during lockdown and the coronavirus outbreak.

Two in five (38%) disabled adults who have needed or tried to book delivery slots for food and essential goods say they were not able to in past three weeks since the survey took place.
Of those who have been to a supermarket since the outbreak, approaching half (46%) say they have had issues getting essential items.
The same group also most commonly cite issues such as facing negative attitudes from other shoppers (26%) and long queues aggravating their condition or impairments.
