Workers with disabilities earn £3,700 less a year than their non-disabled peers, new analysis shows.
Research by the Trade Union Congress (TUC) found the disability pay gap has risen to 17.2%, amounting to £2.05 per hour - or £3,731 a year - for someone working a 35 hour week.
The gulf in pay means that disabled people effectively work for free for the last 54 days of the year and stop getting paid today.
