Hang on a minute….do you mean we’re not working because “gasps” we think we can’t :oops: Do I need to indicate sarcasm?

They don’t care. People who have this level of intellect are capable of understanding these quite simple concepts like “uncertainty and damaging rhetoric upsets disabled people” or “PIP isn’t means tested”.

Ive just appealed the tribunal, and been granted a rehearing. Allegedly they believed I was claiming I couldn’t stand (I wasn’t) then found me to be somewhat disingenuous and that seems to have affected everything else (my reading between the lines). In any case, the judge was critical of the...

It’s a relief from thinking I would certainly lose 2/3 of my income next year, and seeing those changes voted through next week. As I said after, make no mistake we still have to fight.

Whilst I waited a year for my WCA they put me on the general “help you to get into work” scheme. The advisor was lovely and totally understood I couldn’t do anything. She eventually told me she had a big set-to with her manager about me being on her caseload, because it was clear she couldn’t do...

Massive climb down apparently agreed with rebels. Current claimants will keep all their benefits, changes will be for new claimants https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq6my6v81z4o

No, it’s a good point. How about they stop messing about with points, and accept they want disabled people to suffer.

I saw a clip on social media of Martin Lewis questioning an older MP about the proposal (the guy called benefits “social security” not heard that for years) Martin asked the key question “why are you saying PIP stops people working, it’s not an out-of-work benefit?” He got a rambling answer, but...

I think I’m experiencing awe at the audactiy…

I agree they are, but I’d argue that everyone is.

I don’t think we are allowed to discuss politics, but it looks like in order to vote this through Labour will need Conservative backing despite having a majority.

A 1% increase per year is nothing to get upset about?

It’s lumped in with RA and Fibromyalgia too. If it were just LC and ME that would be bad enough.

And further necessary questions Do they smoke??? Did their parents divorce in their childhood? How many of them are Sagittarius? Who has blue eyes?

Excellent, I’ve been making and cancelling appointments for this for a few months. I wondered what happened after the at-home trials were successful.

I wonder what the cost of the “errors” in awarding pip points is - the cost to us, the people not being awarded 4 points because we can answer the doorbell, so therefore can cook a meal.

My local MP sent this reply. As I’m in Liverpool, it’s reassuring (but not surprising) to hear that there are MPs standing firm against the proposed cuts. Thank you for contacting me regarding cuts to welfare benefits. I appreciate you getting in touch with me regarding this issue. I have...

Imagine running a church and selling bleach as a miracle cure instead of Jesus!

Certainly it’s worth having your thyroid checked and especially women from middle-age are at risk of Hashimotos. I’m pretty sure in the UK it’s going to have been included in a full bloods panel if your GP has run one. As I say, I get one yearly anyway (good GP thought that as I wasn’t “getting...
