Hi, my name is Bindie

Bindie

I am a carer and are considerably concerned over the proposed welfare cuts. I feel let down and betrayed by a government that traditionally values and looks after those most vulnerable. All this 'new Labour' government want to do is steal from the poorest and most vulnerable instead of recovering lost revenue through a tougher wealth tax in fear they will lose their freebies. Their latest proposals are disgusting and immoral.

Hi and a very warm welcome to the community.

Come and join in the conversation on the green paper thread at the top of this page.

I haven't slept or eaten properly since yesterday, am literally worrying myself sick...I am currently under review for my PIp, I usually get 12 points for my mobility and, get 3s and 2s on each of my daily living score. I can't shower, or fully dress alone, can't cook a full meal alone, and have double incontinence needs which often need help if it's spilled over to my clothes.Also severe anxiety.

I have no surviving family, and my PIP pays for my care.I am terrified, and can't stop crying.

Hi @Bindie and @Deborahzebra, bless you both, I'm so sorry you feel this way. Trust me - you're not alone. A few of the members have mentioned The Green Paper Discussion where our members are sharing their opinions and supporting one another during this time. It might be worth having a look and engaging if you want to.

We'd prefer to keep the conversations regarding this all in one place, so as to protect the mental health of all on the community, so we will be closing this discussion. I hope you understand.

Also, we're actively campaigning and raising awareness through The Cost of Cuts, and we’d really appreciate your support and signature. 💜
