    Isn't that why they are placed in those positions though? and IDS Mel Stride Lizzy I started to wonder that when Mel Stride didn't lose his seat and fact they all seem to share same ideology regardless of the Party they represent. All seems too perfect for the super rich who have always been very vocal about getting rid of social security because they themselves don't need it ☺

    So 2 x 4 points plus an extra 8 from other areas i.e. could be 4 x 2 points to make the 16?

    Any indication of what will happen to those on ongoing awards? It was hard won 2 years ago, and it looks like it's going to be lost.

    I think I did this accidently. I filled a form in at my GP to access medical records. All I wanted was really to see recent things on my ap but I ended up with approx 500 pages of my records right from birth emailed to me. I am very tempted to print the lot off when I am next accessed rather than just give recent stuff.

    Think he's gained confidence since Trump started going against the grain over the pond

    They are brutal and quite frankly cruel.

    They make the middle ages seem enlightened

    That doesn't sound right…..not that I know anything. It's awful. You must have been totally wiped out, it's bad enough as it is. I know, there is no treatment or cure for M.E. I have looked all over. There has been no money put into any research for years and as far as I know if you get it later in life you are less likely to have much improvement, if any. Mine feels like it has set in and is definitely worsening now 'm getting older, how ever much "pacing" and resting I try and do. I am frequently stuck in bed now and my poor son has to help me a lot more than before.

    I could be wrong but I read it as 4 points for one question plus another 4 points making 8 lower . 4 points plus 8 for highest making 12 .

    If I’m wrong I’m sure someone will correct me but right now we don’t know what going to happen. I certainly wouldn’t worry if you have a long award . Right now they still have a backlog anyway.

    Yep, it's all well and good for people who have either no understanding of the need for it or complete disdain for those who do.

    starmer has no personality or ideas of his own . He just sucks up the energy of other people.

    Same here. Last assessor actually lowered mobility and raised care so they made a saving of about £50 a month. I went to MR and got it back but was advised against asking for length of award extension at that time . The case manager was really good so I’m upset I didn’t ask at the time

    Take with that pinch of salt

    but the rumour flying around on Social media apparently "leaked"

    LCWRA payments will be frozen at its current rate for a time not disclosed whilst the non

    LCWRA has increases, So basically that part will be cut = "You sure you cant do a bit of work"

    If correct they were seriously going to Freeze both payments??? when they openly accept the cost of living is hammering the poorest in society.

    The huge question again if correct will MP's be happy ? the way prices are increasing

    Its going to mean even more people pushed into poverty I would argue for many it would be destitution.

    To offset would they bring back the proper social fund? so people could apply for Grants on items like clothes/Underwear/Washing Machines etc

    My brother lives in France and he is unable to work. He sees someone once a month like an advisor, they help him getting oil for his heating, new tyres . He goes to the foodbank. But they seem very helpful not like here. He is appalled when I tell him what's going on here

    Yes they will for people with visual disabilities ie wheelchair user, but the disabilities that can't be seen, ie mental health, they will not look after, that's in my option, is country and the government are going backwards, as much as 40 years, it's unbelievable that they can't get away with it

    Sorry, I'm being dense here. But 4 from one question and 8 from another or 4 from one question and then 8 points (made up from various questions). As you say, nothing confirmed.

    Yes he seems to be fine with Trump now I remember before Trump got in he sent or wanting to send campaigners fully funded over there to help the Dems. ☺

    This is what I suspect too because it's so much easier for them to look at any less visible or invisible disabilities and dismiss them.

    I'm not keen on compulsive Liars you never know where you stand with them but what you do feel is it's not gonna be good finding out true. ☺
