Upcoming changes to benefits

The new rules would, in effect, mean that only the most severely disabled would receive Pip, while those with mental health conditions would not.
Well that part can be challenged in court
The rest is a all out war on benefits reading it carefully it's a complete abolishing of State welfare with the (few exceptions) so they can say it's not 100% abolished

The Guardian is trustworthy. I’d say probably one of the most trustworthy papers.
Your last sentence made me laugh, so thank you for that given the circumstances. I’m sick of seeing his face every time I open twitter. Him or Reeves smugly smirking in every photo2 -
I hope it’s true . We need some good news

So who would be the lucky reciever of this robbing? If that was to go ahead we'd need to go to ukraine for relief funding.
Absolutely diabolical

Hi mate I get where your at, please try to be positive, we are all in the same boat , and we all have to cross the river, when we know exactly what river we need to cross, I think this labour government has got to be the most unpopular ever, in just their first year running the country, I am 51 and can't think of anyone more unpopular than starmer , Reeves and kendell

anyone going to reply about lcwra will the money get cut or stopped like they are trying to do with pip

That's something I've thought too. Never before have I come across a government only in for a few months and I'm already convinced they cannot win the next election. Whether it's held in 2029 or next Thursday, the opening days have been so catastrophic with regard their own vote, that any recovery seems impossible.

Hi , no one knows anything for sure yet . We can only hope things won’t be as bad as we’re expecting.

no media are trustworthy , that’s why they are publishing leaks from the government and will get paid to do so. All I can say to everyone, is ignore the news and wait for the official announcement.

With all due respect back I know the difference between sheltered privileged lives so have a lack of understanding how real people live and those who are psychotic
I've been around it all my life the faces of these parties that all agree on taking away vital support to those who need it at a time when they have woefully created a Cost of living crisis and at a time when austerity has been ongoing for decades and we're fully informed of sucides and deaths to the point of shredding evidence comes pretty close

From what i understand according to articles such as from the rowntree foundation LCWRA could be cut by as high as 34% for new claimants and probably those reassessed. After inflation increase that could be as high as £128 gone each month! This is the most damaging part of the proposed changes even more damaging then the PIP freeze! They're also thinking about not allowing those with ADHD, Depression or Autism from being able for claiming this entitlement which is discriminatory! We won't know for sure until next week however when more information gets released. Its important to protest these proposed changes be as loud as possible. https://www.jrf.org.uk/news/factsheet-health-related-benefit-cuts

Hello there I just this month be award pip for Daly living and mobility Daly low mobility high IV not even had my 1st payment yet and my Daly was given to me for my mental health issues but I see on the news today about they going to cut people with mental health issues and as my payment is set for the 31 of march and they having a meeting on the 23 of march could I lose my 1st payment and the 4 years they just awarded for? Please put my mind to rest on this as it s was a long and stressful time just to get approved just to have it took away before it even as began

Also I see this well effort the UC just like pip I had to go through a assessment for lcw or lcwra and again for just my mental health not included on this one about my mobility problems they give me in January a 10 years approved letter for lcwra that I have only had one payment of this for February and still waiting for the next one in march would they stop this as well or cut it as this makes a big difference in the cost of living as everything s and is going up in price and it not like it's just one or 2 things going up it's the lot and even with this extra money it don't cover all the money I have to payout ever month so do make cuts on things likemy gas and electric or have times with out food this why pip would been about more early for me to manage but with all this news going on I'm afraid that I well lost it before my 1st payment on the 31 of march

The bubonic plague would have been more poplar than this and such great timing when moral has already been pushed to an all time low over 14 years of mental tortue
