yes I have a lot of 2’s in Daily Living (despite being bedbound for the majority of the day due to the fatigue, and being unable to do anything reliably for most of the day) it is a worry for me. Although I should get at least 4’s on some. It’s their own stupid rules that if you can’t do...

See I read somewhere that they said jobless people are claiming additional benefits because Universal Credit isn't enough to live on. So they are going to increase Universal Credit but decrease the extra benefits, so people don’t do this. Now that may or may not be true, but it makes a little...

Certainly explodes conventional wisdom. In a dangerous post-facts, post-expert, post-truth way.

ME CFS Data Sloth also works

Off topic but ME/CFS Data Sleuth would be a great name!

Whatever you show them or tell them, they ignore and argue black is white and the moon revolves around the sun.

I’ve never actually been assessed face to face for PIP, and I only had old diagnoses when I got it first time round. They seem quite content to make up their imaginary interpretation of what I wrote/said without seeing me, so I believe they can do away with the whole “ nurse-led assessment”...

Why would it be recent? I still have the illnesses I was diagnosed with in 2011

Yes - we don’t want a big benefit bill, we want people to work. Ok what about disabled people who can’t work? No they’re fine it’s the other ones, you know, taking the Mickey. I wish they’d do an NHS England and delete all the stupid “assessments”. You just write in and tell them what’s wrong...

Is it just me who is finding the twists and turns skewing the logic? They want to freeze/reduce/reform PIP because people aren’t working/being “written off” yet PIP isn’t means tested, and many people on PIP do work. They want to reduce/reform LCWRA which is paid to those too ill to work...

It was so egregious I wonder whether it was deliberate, for some reason.

That link isn’t paywalled, the grauniad just asks politely whether you would like to pay before letting you read. Good to see that quote again - if the govt wants disabled people to work it needs to change employment law so they can’t be fired when they go off sick. Quite.

I use a tablet and I seriously considered a small Perspex table to lie underneath! I tried a number of stands and headboard clips thingys and they were all incapable of holding the weight, theyre not a good solution.

Ah now the BSP plan becomes clear!

So true. I have an interest in ancient history and ancient civilisations, and made the mistake yesterday of clicking on some information which seemed interesting, unfortunately it fell victim to the “ancient aliens” theories. Who built pyramids? Aliens. Stonehenge? Aliens. Moai? Aliens. Cave...

They’re bound to have to u-turn on this. They will reform some stuff but not necessarily make giant cuts like they’ve been saying. People need to face the fact that there are a lot of disabled people, who need financial support to live. That’s just the way it is.

I have issues with my sentence construction and grammar. So does the person who wrote this webpage. The difference is they didn’t get a second and third opinion before pressing send. It’s very poor English.

I hope she’s able to think on what label I have for her opinions masquerading as fact. It starts with g and has 8 letters. I’ve a special detector for this sort of thing.

Nothing says public sector like centralising a decentralised service, which used to be centralised!

Man who works in neuroscience fails to cure own disability; is praised for curing own disability. We can all write daft headlines.
