    I disagree someone on jsa is actively looking for work and can work MOST disables people cannot work so you can't compare the two so suffer because your disabled we don't have the same advantages as others boils my blood having to justify and explain

    Why reduced by 416 ? So quickly that's crazy that's what they do then so you get uc and lcw rate

    Lou had Transitional Protection with her UC, and this was reduced by the amount of her new LCWRA award. That is how TP is designed to work.

    Funny how they think they can do all this to the eldery, disabled & think we will forget by the next G.E but i don't think many will, i never forgave Thatcher for taking my milk as a child, never voted conserative because of it. Stupid i know but its how i feel.

    Catherine did you watch Ellen Clifford? I didn’t but what someone who did commented on YouTube is that they’ve threatened any Labour MP with removal of whip if they vote it down. They reckon they can push this through quickly. I’m hoping someone on here can give some insight into what was said and some reassurance as I’m back to last year now.

    It's so hard for young people they need support alot of youngsters haven't been given the best start in life don't have family support friends not knowing where to turn open to abuse it was extremely extremely hard for me growing up so understand the darkness I was incredibly shy as well couldn't talk for myself I've learnt to mask over years I seen a clip of a labour mp saying people with down syndrome don't need as much money as they do noting??? I've supported people with down syndrome have many passions love holidays voluntary work so their not allowed to enjoy life if none of the labour back benches say anything they should hold head in shame

    it’s the same I’ve found with physiotherapy. First time was for sciatica due to fibromyalgia flare up when pip came in . Left me bedbound twice . And lifetime medication to prevent flare ups. I had to take painkillers to get to my second appointment. Physio said I was better now the exercise worked and discharged me. Ignored me saying it’s the painkillers. Second time was for arthritis in neck causing arm pains. Wait 9 months for appointment. See physio who gave me an exercise which not only made my arm worse but my fibromyalgia which I had to explain what it was. Suddenly he too discharged me and left no letter for my medical notes. He disappeared mysteriously.

    I've just emailed John Mcdonald, he's not my mp but on our side. My mp doesn't answer emails and voted for pensioners to have their fuel payments taken away,
