Are they for real?

I think we know (Tory or Lab) government doesn’t want to pay the welfare bill. LCWRA or UC Health as it’s rebranded is a sitting duck. All they see is the cash lump sum. And the Billion pounds investment into “helping back to work” is entirely being spent on creating “back into work advisor”...

For someone who was beaten up he certainly was out and about and on holiday in the Caribbean. Also - look at me! I was in the Manchester Evening News back in March! Here’s a photo of the headline. It’s not a link to the article! I don’t even live in Manchester?!?!?

They could put their money where their mouth is and give us jobs, except they shut down Remploy.

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.
