There's a sense of the "deserving poor" and the "undeserving poor" - a victorian social concept being pushed in todays society.…

Pip questionnaire
What happened about that pip questionnaire that we had a chance to fill in last year. Thought the government was using that, instead of this Timms report. I don't trust him. He won't consult with disability charity, He has his own agenda. And not in our interests. What I want to know as well. What are the severe conditions…

I have no confidence in the system after my PIP was dropped to standard 6 years ago. The thought of a tribunal is anxiety inducing to the point of just settling with what they gave me.

A change in the rules?
Having written many things about the reforms now being forced upon us, I would like to ask as a general discussion about sending people back to work who have been assessed by the NHS and in some cases by an assessment company as LWRAG's and the need to go forward in accessing work. I am a Health and Safety Officer or was…
