Labour doubles down on slashing billions from DWP's disability benefits bill
Comments

Months ago, Starmer and other Ministers made statements it troubled them
people were basically terrified of them, depending on what journalists you trust
its the people like McFadden and others who are steering the ship, At the moment its defence needing more money, but for months long before they were elected they doubled down on Welfare, they will not accept the pandemic has left a long term new generation of disabled people not just young but right across all age groups and social classes.
Doctors,Teachers, Nurses all left now reliant on the state many have lost everything,
they want to push the focus onto mental health, but again the dire state of the NHS
the survey they conducted proved people having to claim benefits I believe it was in the region of 40% were clients who were waiting some form of NHS Treatment/surgery and fully wanted to go back to work,
I explained to the local MP this scenario which is mine.
Currently Energy bills are 460 PPM
Blood,Poo,Vomit despite what the adverts suggest no they don't come out at fast wash 30C
its 2hrs 20 Mins bed and bath, The Wheelchair takes 8 hours to charge, my Stairlift is over 15 years old, the hoist is so old it could lift a hippo, the bed is also airflow as is the bed to lift me
the chair is also powered. Food prices are just going higher and higher and quality is lowering
to the stage "fresh" fruit and veg is very often rotten so the choice is waste money on petrol
or just salvage what you can and forced to buy more later in the week,
they want to paint this picture all sick/disabled people have 900 inch smart TV's the very latest I phones. we all smoke 300 a day and drink like fishes.
Not once has a journalist covered the fact in 2011 the condems stopped so many items on th NHS if you have chronic long term wounds, why? these are often made with silver and cost 49-59 pounds for six. The list of what they stopped is endless, its cheaper to buy puppy training pads for the bed and the ones supplied by the local health board are 15,00 for 25
when B&M you get 100 for cheaper, We are not living we are existing and they dare have the front to keep pushing this idea we are all living it up. My consultant is pushing hard for me to be put into Nursing Care, even the most basic place is around 1,340 a week and its got a terrible name, If they really want to push thousands of people into care it would
bankrupt every single council no matter what party runs it. They keep running away from something the UN warned members about Covid would create a mass disabling event and covid is STILL rampant. They can change the colour of the envelope we are dread the post and we know why, we never asked to be ill we never asked to be born disabled or become disabled, we never asked to be just scraping along from one month to another with both main parties more than happy pushing this idea most of us are scroungers with nothing wrong with us.
One last bit of advice, It might seem pointless but when you know exactly what they have planned, make contact with the local MP get friends Family to do the same, while the media will ignore it making constructive contact with the MP explain the situation YOU face
because 5 years goes in the blink of an eye, I know from one of the societies I am a member
nearly everyone who voted Labour will never vote for them again, Its not registered with them how betrayed and hurt people are. When you hear Kendall and Timms talking about "getting this right" and feedback from Charities those are empty words when the entire foundation of this is based on cuts.

Can the government make PIP means tested?
0 -
Yes. But it would necessitate new legislation. Similarly, if they decided to make PIP taxable income.

Been seeing on news tiktok all over that there's a rebellion from mps and public

Let's please remember that everything currently is just speculation and rumour. Even if someone on Tiktok is saying "this is definitely happening" until there's an official government announcement, it's just a rumour.

@Catherine21 As you probably know, Labour MPs are being called to Downing Street before the weekend. All of them. I don't think Reeves/Starmer/Kendal thought they'd have to try to convince the backbenchers that the mooted reforms are "moral".

@Albus_Scope I think that the leak to ITV News last week and analyses by some excellent political journalists can be considered more than "speculation" and "rumour", which is why the triumvirate of Starmer, Reeves, and Kendal are going all out to get their backbenchers on side.
