Brian I looked up your sleep condition, and I think my Mother has/had the problem or at least something similar, I noticed it when I was staying with my parents during a massive health relapse where I needed support, and had noticed she wasnt breathing, I prodded her and she woke up like nothing was wrong, I have always wondered since if I saved her life.
She eventually did get diagnosed with a problem after I mentioned it to her, and needed to use breathing apparatus when going to bed after the diagnosis.

Those who do not seek medical attention for their mental health conditions are definitely not beneficiaries for this reason.

This is an example that people do not understand that they are sick. This does not always depend on the severity of the disease, but it depends on both their education and the level of awareness of the people around them.

This is going to end badly, the suicide rate will go through the roof,as someone who is already on living on the edge with depression and anxiety as well as physical disabilities.

Does this include people with adhd and autism? They don't live in the real world . Non of them do .

I hope you're right .because I don't think I can take much more. She clearly has not been on a psychotic ward , been in twice for suicide attempts and the last thing they need is this , absolutely ridiculous.

@Catherine21 so I've heard. If it works out I'll eat my dog dipped in gravy. And I don't eat meat. I feel it's unreal that the NHS would allow it.

Yeah I saw that as well ,thought I was going mad ,it keeps changing the wording. 🤦

And what if one of the contributing factors leading to being on a ward is the benefits system? How does that work? Feeling there is no escape route could be catostrophic.

I'm really hoping they see common sense here, people need to be allowed to heal first. But at least they've changed the wording, so there's still hope.

Sometimes I don't know whether to laugh or cry, this is an absurd proposal by a government who seems to be as compassionate as the last government.

They seem even worse to me. I will never, ever vote Labour again.

All this talk about the black hole and to get Britain working even the disabled, yet they are reopening the hotels for migrants costing the tax payer £4m a day (I never knew they closed the hotels tbh)

In the gutter but still in power , I'm wondering if they will do as much damage as lizz truss did and all this damage will call for a vote of no confidence.
