    People were saying about kendell doing her speech how demented she looked and she enjoyed punishing us.

    Is there anyone challenging the decision. Especially 4 points . The thing is she's saying about getting us into work, dosent the evil woman realise that people do work get it, and by taking it away would make it difficult to carry on

    That's the thing, my husband does actually work and has done for years but can only manage part time but in general struggles mentally/physically and I do a lot to help. Thing is I have health problems too and could technically apply for PIP but I'd probably get denied so not worth the stress.

    I'm really stressing DWP may try and amend his award since the tribunal win since the max he got in one category was 3 points (waiting for backpay) but I heard it doesn't come in until Nov 2026 so surely they can't do that? He's awaiting backpay from 2022.

    Just a thought here,not sure if it's been mentioned, people get mobility on pip for various reasons right? So if you need that why stop the help with daily needs element? Or make it harder? So many need one because of the other. For example, heart conditions can mean some have fatigue and chest pain, breathlessness etc and need help to dress ,wash etc at the same time they need mobility component for those same reasons... can't get around due to fatigue and pain ,breathing trouble.

    Sorry if I'm not explaining that correctly. I've had terrible asthma attacks all week and other symptoms feel drained of lifeforce.

    Hi Jen,

    I’m not sure if you’ve seen the new Ellen Clifford video on YouTube but she talks about a plan of action including legal action. I read this morning that think tanks have said rather than £5b savings it’ll be closer to £100m . And reeves will be coming for taxes again in spring. Both her and Starmer need to go asap imo

    Hi ,

    I listened to Angela Rayner on bbc radio giving an interview regarding helping the disabled. Using her mum and son’s health conditions to drum up support. Insisting they want to help us and protect those that can’t work lead a dignified life and good standard of living. And where was she when demented Kendall told of all the cuts ? Sitting behind her nodding her head. I even read she voiced concerns about the cuts along with the others who did. Obviously she’s not ready to give up the gravy train. But was else can we expect from someone who buys her council house for profit only to want to ban others from buying theirs. None of the front bench have scruples or morals , that’s why Starmer chose them .

    My name is Luke I am diagnosed with autism and one aspect of my condition is the fact that I ruminate and worry I used to receive a lifetime/indefinite DLA award when migration to PIP took place I was initially awarded zero points and had to attend a tribunal which awarded me daily living enhanced rate and mobility standard rate for an ongoing period the award letter said it was not appropriate to set a fixed term in this case as my condition is unlikely to change. The Green Paper does mention that ongoing awards are not going to be abolished but I am still anxious as I have read posts on here suggesting that when the new descriptors come in there is a possibility that they will want to reassess everyone including ongoing awards can anyone let me know what you think will happen just to put my mind at rest I do have 4 points btw on social communication but do you think it will be a violation of the Equality Act to remove the daily living component from me if they said my condition is not likely to change in the award letter? Just asking if anyone has an idea of what will happen with ongoing awards as there does not seem to be much info online or in the press about this I did feel better after reading the green paper yesterday mentioning that ongoing awards are to continue but recently I have been stressed again as I read a post on here last night suggesting that everyone will be reassessed like in the DLA to PIP migration anyway I have demanded a face to face meeting with my MP which I am expecting to get shortly and will put that question to her.

    Looks like they want to send them to war with Russia. Because Ukrainians seem to be running out.

    Hi! I'm talking about the parties and politicians you voted for. Did they do anything useful for you that you asked them to do?

    did you contact him via his departmental email as a minister or as an MP? If you did the latter, that's why he (or one of his office stuff) responded that way.

    sadly MPs will use the lack of constituency connectino as an excuse to ash their hands of people. Understandable when its a local, individual issues, not national ones like state-sanctioned murder of disabled people via benefit cuts.
