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.

    if its the news in the papers etc about possible changes to sickness benefits I would try not to worry until they actually happen.

    @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.
