What if labour decides to go with WCA that tories already rolled out up north in some areas that's set up for 2025 was a lady called miss clifford that was taking DWP to judicial court over changes to wca I wonder if labour goes ahead she will still go to court

What about the UC migration? With my rent rises and loss of inflation, my TP will be gone in 2 years. Then I'll be £50 per week worse off and I can't afford to lose a penny of it. Absolutely no word on that so I can only assume that's going ahead. How on earth are we supposed to budget for that kind of loss? There's a reason disabled people on UC are the majority food bank users, I hope the Trussell Trust are aware they're about to get several million more customers?

I am hoping they go all out to help people who want to work and who can work, work safer, better or more productively. And then I hope they go all out to protect the rights of those who can't work so they don't need to keep feeling scared.
Two very important things that need to be handled with clarity not confused with one another.
Strengthen the pathway for those who can't work. Strengthen the pathway for those who can.
After 14 years of Tories blaming us for everything, it's going to take a long time for disabled people not to believe they're constantly under threat. I don't know if we are or not yet, but hopefully if we can make politicians understand why we feel like this, we can get them to talk with more clarity.2 -

After what's happened today over the winter fuel allowance it wouldn't surprise me now if PIP is means tested in the future.
Labour are determined to save money now.

I had to downsize, I use to care for my mum and when she died , 2 months later the housing association wanted myself and my daughter to move. Took 12 months bidding, living around boxes. They were heartless. Plus I had no money thanks to the dwp. I went from having carers, which stopped when mum died. Signed to.esa . Had wca assessment. Got p45 before my letter to say I was fit for work. Living on child benefit for 2 months. Food banks until I managed to get a part time job.
Appealed esa as going through anxiety, depression.
Since being diagnosed for autism, got joint hypermobility syndrome, scars on lungs due to covid. Fatigue, Copd due to 5 years cleaning. Had to give up work last year. Not sure what I could do if we had to work. Got a upper tract infection on antibiotics again
