The Cost of Cuts

I panicked reading one comment saying people on LCWRA could be moved to LCW….Iv'e been assessed as can't work
Until 2015, LCW also meant can't work!
Both groups in ESA were for claimants judged by (non-medically trained) DWP decision-makers to have a Limited Capacity for Work. Thousands of sick and disabled people were unlawfully placed into WRAG or found 'fit-for-work' in the first national reassessment programme of 2011-2014 leading to a similar backlog of appeals that we see now.
From 2017, the support component of LCW was removed for new claims/claimants under the Welfare Reform and WORK Act 2016. LCWRA recipients were led to believe they deserved the extra component and failed to grasp the intent behind those welfare reforms.

There is a lot of speculating going on out there, I have read comments like PIP is shutting down, LCWRA to LCW, and more, those I think are panic posts. I treated the ITV leak as credible, especially when Keir reacted to it pretty much confirming its accurate, but otherwise I only accept anything if its straight from a minister.
