I will hold my hand up when I’m in the wrong.
Honestly history (even as recent as the 90s) is not my specialty and I would of been only 10 at the time and not diagnosed
I was winded up by the comment about the consultation responses being pointless and typed in the moment
Also I was only thinking back to the last 15 or so years in terms of the disabled getting ‘concessions’ from a protest
I don’t disagree with protesting at all - as long as it doesn’t cross any lines all ways the disabled can get their voice heard is a good thing
I just wish there where more ways we could be heard

I'm backing off the forum as at the moment we are going through too much.
We are having a really bad time like everyone.
Sometimes it's not very helpful to us. I looked to it for help and advice now it's become stressful.

lizptsd, community scope has deleted my clumsy comments this morning as requested. They are great like that. I'm also in my 60's though not a pensioner.
I'd forgotten that you've written about losing your son to suicide last year because of the DWP. It's an unimaginable loss and I hope you can forgive me. I'll understand if you can't though.

I did some reading on the website and they are actually open to all disabilities/ health conditions not just autism (my condition isn't actually autism based). Also you don't need to have a formal diagnosis.

They shouldn't be allowed to get away with it, it feels like the distance between us and them is a million miles, like we are here posting away about our worries and concerns and they know nothing about it.
If the government are engaged with Scope then they should be asked to view this forum and this thread to at least see the impact on people's lives if not we banging our heads on the wall.
Yes I agree about Stride, vile specimen.

they should be asked to view this forum
I've always assumed that they do.

The same week Stride was making comments about mental health in the paper, he was going around to Schools, in support of Mental Health, and talking about mental health. He is a really a 2 faced cretin

^Now he's in the opposition, he would be more sympathetic towards mental health than he was when the Tories were in power. Hopefully he'll realise mental health is more than being "bluesy". God forbid if the Tories get in power again, he'll revert back to his original viewpoint.
Horrible man!

The government has money for expensive useless weapons and Microsoft, but no money for disabled people. Shame and shame.

Plus sending millions abroad to farmers , and other stuff. Also millions for carbon capture in Liverpool, why don't they stop cutting down trees and plant new ones

I had a reply back from the D.W.P today, 28/11/24 regarding the W.C.A , I was asked to reply to an email address on Scope but can't find it do have put it on Albus_Scope so he can read it, and others too!
LETTER:
Dear X
Thank you for your email of 1 November to the Secretary of State about the Work
Capability Assessment. Government Ministers receive a large volume of
correspondence and they are unable to reply personally on every occasion. I have
been asked to respond.
The Government believes the Work Capability Assessment is not working and
needs to be reformed or replaced. We will say more about this in due course.
I can assure you that this Government is committed to championing the rights of
disabled people and to the principle of working with them. We will continue to
engage with stakeholders to keep the views of disabled people and people with
health conditions at the heart of what we do, as we consider our next steps.
The new Government is very concerned at the undermining of the social security
safety net, which has occurred over the past fourteen years. Its aim is to make the
system fit for purpose in the course of the decade of national renewal, which the
Prime Minister has committed to.
Yours sincerely
Adrian Nicol
Head of the Ministerial Correspondence Team3 -
