Hi, my name is RieRie!
I'm 47 with a lumbar spine injury. I'm very worried about what will happen with my benefits as I am unable to work. 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. Does anyone else feel…

A change in the rules?

I am a Health and Safety Officer or was…

Scope's reply to the governments planned concessions to the green paper.
The concessions to this bill do not go far enough. They create an unfair, two-tier system which will widen the gap in support for current and future claimants as time goes on. We still want to see all disabled people protected from cuts. And we want the government to consult with disabled people on these changes as well.…

Should We Believe Kendall
Kendall assured existing PIP recipients they would remain protected. She wrote: "We recognise the proposed changes have been a source of uncertainty and anxiety. Therefore, we will ensure that all of those currently receiving PIP will stay within the current system. The new eligibility requirements will be implemented from…

THANK YOUR MPS WHO FOUGHT FOR YOU
So often we contact MPs when something goes wrong, but there were a lot of MPs who have fought to defend disabled people’s benefits. If your MP was one of them, imagine how uplifting it would be for them to receive and email or letter with a simple Thank You. It takes courage to stand up and vote against a bill in your own…
