    I still don't get what the hell moving home has to do with lcwra or a UC50 or why a reassement would be needed if no changes whatsoever in health have occurred.

    I really don't get it all. So a court challenge 10th - 11th Dec but it say's online it could be weeks after that for a verdict.

    If (can) Liz Kendall bring out a white paper before that (doesn't anyone know when is said?). If it is different to Tory proposals does that make the court case null and void?

    If it was disagreed with would another court case have to be initiated?

    I presume nothing can be made law with an outstanding court case.

    So I will just keep worrying then. This has been hanging over us all a year now.

    I would imagine the judge can legally impose a pause on the whole thing until the decision.

    as for her silly white paper I'm sure it will take ages especially with constant backlash already and questions constantly arising over legalities of this and that. hopefully she'll get told to use it to wipe her backside which is likely all the use it'll serve.

    I do wonder if people maybe confused. I thought it was a change of home could trigger a change from ESA to UC.

    That said I sell a few crafted hobby items and it seems to be selling more Xmas I guess but it is getting me down. I have thought okay just stop it and it went through my head they could reassess me for stopping a hobby that was making me feel down.

    It is psychological warfare the whole thing. Evil!

    This might sound daft, but with all this hanging over our heads, the odd time you find yourself laughing at something, do you stop in your tracks. I do. I think ,I'm laughing in this moment ,even just very briefly, but tomorrow I could be on my knees with worry. I'd say majority of my day for the past 4 years has felt like doom n gloom, so very few moments of joy. I feel like we aren't even allowed that. My MH is sliding day on day.

    I totally know where you coming from , I can't believe the old government and the new, think the only way to pay back for pandemic.is give disabled people mental anguish, anybody would think we where living in1924 not 2024 😢

    My MH is sliding all the time. I am starting to see things and hear things and have to challenge if it is real or not. I can just at the moment convince myself it is not real.

    If I have a psychotic incident then they will be to blame.

    Even if I go into town I think people standing on street corners are working for DWP and spying on what I am doing.

    I can relate to that , my only joy in life is my emotional support dog, If I put walking her, I also feel paranoid about the dwp watching me, I ending up with blood clots on my lungs from inactivity where I could leave the house, due to severe anxiety, so my dog suggested a dog, where I have to get out and walk , I only walk in fields where hopefully I don't bump into anyone, but with everything that going on I wonder if they watch my house , and me going out to walk the dog , and say well you fit for work then, my anxiety is through the roof ,

    I am also the same with car's parked outside my house. Thinking it is the DWP waiting for me to go out. Sometimes I am so convinced I don't go out.
