    Hi @zane and welcome back. 😊
    Please try not to worry too much, it was all just talk by the government and nothing had been set in stone. We will probably have a new government tomorrow who will have their own ideas. But anything that does happen, it wont happen quickly. I'm really glad to hear you've got your care sorted out though, that's brilliant news.

    Labour have a history of increasing spending on welfare, I see nothing in their manifesto to suggest they will make huge cuts like the Tories promised to do. They still rely on a large left wing vote and support of Unions, they can't afford to attack the poor, because they would lose their voters.

    They might change things because unfortunately the country is much poorer now because of Brexit and we don't have as much money, but Labour won't be so nasty. I expect that you will be safe.

    Morning @zane 😊 How are you feeling today?

    As @Albus_Scope said, any changes will take time to happen so there'll be time to look at the changes and deal with what may happen. I wouldn't try and guess what the new government may do as that could cause more worry.

    We're always here for support.
