    Yes half the questions make no sense to me. But assuming a new administration would read it and feel more empathy I gave some of the questions my best shot in wordpad over a few days and submitted by copy+paste earlier today. In fact I was able to drag and drop selected text from wordpad to Chrome. I think we have until 11.59pm tonight to say something.

    Though Disability Rights and Benefits and Work were quite scathing about it.

    Plugged the relationship between longcovid & ME/CFS & the improved NICE guidelines and the importance of not pressurising PWME/LC and providing a fair hearing/assessment. Also told them it is not right to have targets or quotas for assessment and would prefer to get less PIP myself and make sure everyone who needed it got help.
