March 26th and Green Paper Mega Discussion (ITV leaks, etc)
Comments

They can't fast track the legal process.
They were able to change the Winter fuel payment criteria so quickly because it was a government perk, not protected by legislation.
Ignore hyped up, factually incorrect media stories about crack downs, fast track changes etc.
In March Labour will release a Green paper.
Green Paper: These are our plans, what do you think.
Consultation and feedback.
Then they release a White Paper.
White Paper: These are our proposals
Then the long legal process, going through both houses of parliament, delayed by any court challenges, amendments proposed by the House of Lords.
Then they finally become law.
The whole process takes years, and what eventually becomes law is usually a watered down version of the Green paper.

Labour haven't yet released the Green Paper with their proposals.
That article is about a third party group who have launched a survey with a proposal to change PIP.
The Commission for Social Security has no more influence than Scope does, or any other group with an opinion on welfare benefits.
It's not official Government policy, and once again nothing is yet changing.

What you have read is scaremongering and speculation.

False articles which (intentionally or unintentionally) cause alarm, distress etc.

@ased444 it’s really hard when you’re worried about your future and are desperate to know what’s happening, many of us feel the same and I’m sorry you feel the stress too. Xx You’ve done nothing wrong by sharing those views x

Just logged into my computer and straightaway saw 2 more clickbaits saying that LCWRA and PIP are being replaced or scrapped !!
I'll be glad when they finally make their minds up and tell us what they're actually going to do rather then having all the rumours that are flying around now.

I've had a gutful of it. It's just causing misery for vulnerable people.

Saw an article on sky news about labour calling out ageism, thought it only right to email the MP & point out her parties behaviour towards the disabled is just as bad

@stressed76 Yep Labour's view of ageism = they don't want employers discriminating/being ageist as Labour would have us all working until we're 80.

I saw that, the Equalities Minister. As you told her, there's plenty of inequalities for the deaf and disabled - why isn't she shouting about that? At least old people (generally) have the sympathy of society as a whole.

The daily mail is using the times article on their site about Rachel Reeves cutting 5 billion from disability oriented benefits including scrapping the LCWRA.
The Conservative aligned press really have a perverse vendetta against disabled people, this isn't about "tough love" it's about cowards who punch down and I try to ignore it but like the sword of damocles it's always there in the back of my mind.
Labour are no better, Downing Street briefs The Times, Labour officials know damn well what they're doing.

Oh… so that is why Tories were proposing to bring changes in for new claimants rather than all at once? I mean eg things like changes to LCW payments…

"Green paper" is an early stage in discussion of disability benefits in Parliament, sben. It then goes to a vote, and if passes the vote next goes to a "white paper" stage in Parliament, and scrutiny in the Lords.

Decades not years
For the umpteenth time - please stop worrying about Pip being cut
It wont be and if it was - the government would have such a legal backlash to contend with - they would not survive!!

Many people are worried about PIP, many people on here suffer anxiety too. It doesn’t help to just tell people “don’t worry” because this is their future and there is always a lack of communication to disabled people, so they will worry. I feel for anyone who can’t find peace with this situation because it’s stressful. Instead I show solidarity with all those who feel scared by the unknown.
