Yes I am watching GMTV I'm abit confused if PIP is non means tested which means not Taxable
Why are they Targeting it ?

I sent my mp (lib dem) and all the labour mps that keep going on about welfare an email, they won't like it.
the punchline is take a 25% paycut AND tax millionaires heavily and put THAT money in your black hole!

why's she banging on about work?
PIP is Nothing to do with work.

Non mean-tested benefits can be taxable. For example, the State Pension and CB-ESA. PIP is not currently taxable but that might be a way ahead.

She said the Pip system isn't working and U.C system isn't working? And yes you are correct she mentioned Work.They definitely want as many people as possible to get back into to work.Then say "but we will listen to the voices of the disabled "

Even in Opposition, Labour was beginning to "forget" that PIP has nothing to do with employment status. I can't work out their game.

well good luck to her when she realises reality doesn't come within miles of their fantasies.
If everything isn't voluntary I can see Ellen Clifford or someone else waving at them across courtroom again.
judges overall are very protective of our rights

Yes as usual avoided the Crucial Question as they always do on cutting pip or not
Plus on Line Shopping is a massive factor
Within 5 to 10 years time there will be no Vacancies
Due to on line Shopping

I just watched her on GMB and am still no clearer as to what exactly they are planning to do, again very vague just like always. Are they only targeting fraudsters or will they be snooping on all our bank accounts at all times? The most worrying thing was her answer towards PIP, or her non answer about cutting the benefit, to which she said could not be ruled out. It seems this awful government are hell bent on taking away benefits and PIP payments from those who need and deserve it most, even though they say they're listening to disabled people and charities, what a load of lies. It's all about cutting the welfare bill and nothing to do with genuinely helping sick and disabled back into work, disgusting policy, disgusting right wing labour government.

I think they can use that word so easily 'Voluntarily' because there comes a point where you have no choice?

It has to be voluntary, anything else is harassment or discrimination.

I know their focus has to be about the stability of the countries economy.But health is key to everything in life and the Dwp is very flawed when people are not seen to have the disabilities they have and treated accordingly.It is even worse when you have fight through a system and navigate it with health problems whilst the Government decides the possibilities of taking these very things away without even being clear,leaving everyone guessing.

She was vague about the plans, because Labour don't intend to release any details until the Spring. I know that's frustrating for us, but perhaps they haven't actually decided themselves yet.

Its a subject that infuriates most people, it's almost like they can't get the fit,abled lazy blighters to take jobs, so let's start on the disabled, ****.. the amount of migrants ect coming into the country claiming benefits+ get housing of sorts ( not all)
Get them working, get the lazy fit people working first.
The whole thing is a mess.
They are approaching in the wrong way, they should be investigating and overhauling the system first before targeting the disabled. Though I do agree there are many claiming that shouldn't be, so get that sorted first, clean up the system first, get it right, ..

PIP isn't means tested

They have been ordered to save money from those currently disabled regardless...they keep saying they'll consult with disabled but they are obsessed with getting people into work I.e blocking the benefit
