It doesn't seem to be available yet. The poster below has a FOI in, but DWP are stalling.

The government are pressing head, bill published 18/6, 2nd reading 3/7 - I loathe these people.

Quite a lot of these statistics are available from Benefits and Work. https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/news/most-at-risk-pip-health-conditions-revealed https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/news/increasing-amounts-of-green-paper-data...

This is from the Green Paper - 121. There are already rules in place that are intended to encourage working-age people who are in receipt of health and disability benefits to try work. Both PIP and UC health are in and out of work benefits. In UC there are work allowances specifically for those...

Thanks, Trish. There seems to be quite a lot to be uneasy about. Solutions - that's a big claim.

Oops. This came as a shock to me because either I managed to miss this entirely or I did know and forgot, which is easily possible. Is it related to the PROM and Tyson and Gladwell? Don't bother answering. I'll read back up on it when I'm able.

Moved post What fresh hell is this? ME Association promoting an app sponsored by the DWP and the DHSC for people with LC, ME/CFS, FM etc. -

I'm trying to read through the Green Paper and take notes pre to completing the consultation. I've sidetracked into looking at the DWP research paper...

I'd posted earlier about my MP never replying to my emails. I thought I'd try one last time. Among other points I highlighted the #TakingthePIP campaign (such a brilliant slogan). To my surprise I got a reply and extensive one. Whaddayouknow, she's enthusiastically in favour of it all. She...

Chart from the Resolution Foundation on impact of the cuts on different households - https://bsky.app/profile/resfoundation.bsky.social/post/3lqevx4y7nu2i Doesn't include under 22s, households with kids or pensioners. Agree with the excellence of Jay Watts.

Wasn't there something about IgG in Bhupesh Prusty's work?

Yeah, I have done. It's a lost cause, but disappointing because she actually invited me to discuss things with her. (My emails covered ME issues as well as the DWP.) Congratulations, though, to anyone who managed to elicit positive responses from their MPs.

Yes, that's true, but the bit about "Labour is committed to championing the rights of disabled people and to the principle of working with you, so that your views and voices will be at the heart of all we do" suggested something very different from what's happening. They haven't done any of...

I didn't apply for PIP until 2019. I'd been ill over 30 years. I got the form for DLA once but found it more than I could cope with. I lived on ESA and it's predecessors. Now ESA doesn't cover my basic bills and food, so I'm not surprised that one of the reasons more people are claiming is...

I found that article confusing. Are they talking about the existing consultation on the Green Paper or a new process on the changes that weren't being consulted on up to now? Kendall said she would invite disability campaigners and disabled people to be involved in the implementation of many of...

I thought Timms had just pulled it from the air but apparently it's from the OBR - As has been referenced, we have published data that shows that just over half of those who claim PIP today scored four points in one daily living activity in the last PIP assessment. Understandably, as we have...

Also the consultation has been proceeding farcically with a data breach and then participants unable to log in to an online session - https://benefitsandwork.co.uk/news/blundering-dwp-shares-email-addresses-of-all-green-paper-consultation-event-participants?utm_source=iContact&utm_medi=...

There was a lot going on on Wednesday. Session of Work and Pensions Select Committee with Ellen Clifford for DPAC, Disability Rights UK and Scope giving evidence, followed by academics. https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/164/work-and-pensions-committee/events/ Then the debate Diane...

This is unbearable - I think they just want us dead. Also they're massively cutting Access to Work was to have been operational from today, but there's reports of a pause -

I don't mean you shouldn't be meeting her and Stephen Timms. It's great that you are. Just a heads up on J P's position. It's another blow that the head of our APPG has this attitude. Thank you for the work you are doing. :heart:
