If my lcwra is taken like many others we will be as good as gone :( it’s alright for them to be in their warm homes and have a roof other their head not worrying about the stuff we have to on top of other things :(

I don’t think that’s fair on the poor toilet , it’s bad enough seeing his face let alone his backside

Even if it’s not as bad it’ll be because of the backlash not out of compassion.

Hi
I have just joined, I have been reading with great interest, it's my son I worry for he is 24 has a diagnosis of autism, he has anxiety and depression which are part of who he is as autistic traits, he dropped out of school at 16 as couldn't cope anymore, even being with family is a drain to him, a day out of the house takes several to recover due to burn out from trying to fit in and appear what he thinks people expect him to be like, my heart breaks, currently he is at home with me but if he wasn't I know he couldn't manage, he cannot deal with hot things, so can't cook, he would break down if he had to fill in a form himself, he wouldn't leave home, as it is he needs someone with him, he gets higher pip daily, lower mobility, plus UC extra bit for not being able to work, are they going to provide one to one support from door to door if they want him at job centre, how costly would that be if not he would be sanctioned, as for work maybe an hour if forced then it would be melt down, I really am getting stressed about what's to come

Sorry I meant pip.
Blooming brain fog.
For esa I was reassessed last year after having been untouched for 13 years
I remained in the support group.

Exactly, and they won’t apologise for it either. Timms couldn’t even bring himself to say he was sorry today when he was asked

No or the poor cleaner he probably has on minimum wage!

why even assess after all that time as things are changing anyway ie legacy migration.

I haven't noticed anyone on here having a problem with some of us being on legacy benefits.
Maybe I missed something?

I watched a bit of them in parliament today . Kendall looked demented. She looked ready for a punch up and Timms a drip . He’d be too scared to stick up for against Kendall and reeves even if wanted to.

I have no idea but the letter arrived out of the blue and it caused me so much distress.
I am on contribution based.

there are even bigger incentives to come off the system imo - the thought of not having to deal with the dwp or living in fear that you’ll lose your award and be at the mercy of work coaches and sanctions and the endless assessments & the way many in society treat you as a scrounger/liar
Prehaps those playing the system just don’t feel the consequences of dealing with the devil (sorry, dwp) but the average disabled person has countless incentives to not want to be on the system, just our health and disabilities don’t give us that option
And for a department that saying they want more disabled in work they’ve axed every halfway decent scheme offering help
The dwp have self sabotaged themselves for years (and if the backlash from last week continue and evolves further, self sabotage is exactly what this labour gov is doing to itself - honestly I’m still a bit in shock that the backlash has gotten this big…….i honestly didn’t think so many people outside thr disabled community would care what happens to us……….its very humbling to regain a little faith in the human race)

Claims are ongoing until reviewed. As to when a review might happen, your Medical Report UC85 or ESA 85 may give an indication. Prognosis - work unlikely in the short term, work unlikely in the medium term or work unlikely in the longer term.
The DWP decision maker may choose to follow the report or opt for a different time frame. The time frames are vague - what exactly constitutes short, medium or longer term ? Before the pandemic the aim, I believe, was to assess at least every three years. A snow balls chance in hell that could ever happen now given the exponential increase in claims - it's all soon to be a thing of the past anyway by all accounts.
Tomorrow will tell.

Hi hope I responded correctly by selecting 'quote.' I have lp, the latest seemed quite frustrated in relation to how those with the transitional maybe isolated from any UC cuts. From my understanding, if UC went to zero, you would only get the TP on top so any cuts would relate to them ie. the TP is on top of the rates. This was only a few days ago when the scope chat went into meltdown over talk of disability payment cuts, understandably.

omg I know. I’ve found some very uncaring nurses on the wards when I’ve had sick family members. Sorry I know ppl don’t like nurses to be criticised but in my experience ward nurses lack empathy.

I don’t think labour thought the backlash would be this big either and hopefully it’s made them soften their plans for us all 🤞
