How is this FAIR

I am LCWRA due to Bipolar Disorder and classed as Substantial Risk.
It is 11.20pm and I cannot sleep. I am laid in with anxiety running through my body. My mind is all over the place and I feel fear and dread. The latest news is making my illness worse.
I feel like they will just want to get me into LCW and take away the £390 a month and then not careless about me.
So they say some minimal work preparation (which I could probably do) but if it lead to a job I would not be able to hold that job down.
I wonder how many people in Government are awake laid in their beds riddled with fear.

@carbow32 those changes are many years away, after a general election and there's still a consultation to go through and more.
Hopefully they never even see the light of day, I understand the concern with it but please try to not worry. There are many obstacles in the path of this government doing this to disabled and sick people.They/Them, however they are no wrong pronouns with me so whatever you feel most comfortable with
