Beginning to think being in prison would be preferable to the future they have in mind for us.

See : https://www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/2025/04/06/dwp-pip-how-many-will-lose-it/
It tells the truth about the cuts planned by the government - how many will be affected and what ministers really think about the situation…..
It also confirms that they haven't even considered whether to raise the threshold at which Enhanced PIP becomes your entitlement… I mean, if you need a minimum of 4 points in any one category for standard PIP - It doesn't take much imagination to get to HOW MANY POINTS FOR ENHANCED ?
And for Enhanced to be slowly removed from the scoreboard - leaving perhaps 50% of current claimants receiving STANDARD with no ENHANCED
That would also imply that several hundred thousands of claimants have got better overnight - another tick in Labours box.
google "Aktion T4" and see the similarities !!

This is the obvious consequence of the social model of disability. To spend less money on the disabled.

That is, disabled people can only write letters, but charitable societies have secret levers of influence on the government. Clear and understandable.

I refer you to this discussion. You can read about how Scope speaks to MPs about the proposed changes.

It's amazing how people change once they have a glimmer of power. I used to think Bryant was a good guy with integrity - honest, reasonable, pragmatic, steady.
He now appears to have chugged heavily on the KoolAid. 😥

I think the vast majority of MPs are very selfish and only looking out for themselves, only Corbyn and McDonnell along with the other Labour rebels have shown to me they stick to their principles and are worthy of representing their constituents.

Thanks, I know, but there's nothing about behind-the-scenes interactions...
Has Scope suggested any other spending the government could cut so as not to cut benefits to disabled people? I don't think so.0 -

Can you give evidence of the effect of PIP cuts?
Published: 07 April 2025
Benefits and Work has created a brief, anonymous questionnaire about the PIP cuts in which your answers will immediately be published online. The one page survey is for anyone who currently gets PIP daily living without scoring any 4 point descriptors.
The purpose is to provide some of the evidence about who the cuts will affect and how, which the government is desperately trying to keep hidden from the public.
So please consider completing the survey. It will allow, campaigners, researchers, journalists, MPs and ordinary members of the public to get a better understanding of who Labour is targeting as it tries to rush through these savage cuts.
In the survey you are asked not to give your real name or any name you routinely use online, in order to protect your privacy as your answers will be immediately published online.
There's more information and a link to the survey here.

jul1aorways, What about the thousands of people who are not going to be able cope!! 😮 Disabled people who are nearing or already in poverty, WHO KNOW that they will not be able to eat, pay bills or keep a roof over their head! People who face destitution, temporary accommodation or even the streets!! 😥
Those are the people I worry about too. Not those of us with an income, home and internet access ie relatively safe circumstances.

I'm frustrated that once again, an important discussion has become stifled. This isn't a blog so it's counterproductive to use it like one. I don't know how to express this any more politely.
😕

would you be re-assessed for PIP under the new rules once you are due re-assement ?
