Local council getting back to work from July 2025

Gregam

Hi

I have seen a story in my local paper saying that my local council are going to start people getting back to work July this year?

Am I going to be made to go back to work? I'm LCWRA and pip

I can't keep up with all this stress and worry

Thank you

Hi @Gregam I can completely empathise with why your worried, you're not alone with this. A lot of members are sharing similar worries. We don't yet know the outcome of the green paper consultation, so we can't say for sure what changes are to be expected 100% but I really hope what's implemented is fair and supportive of the community.

A lot of the news stories are adding to people's worries which isn't helping so please make sure you take some time to do something that distracts you, or makes you feel good (appreciate sometimes that's easier said than done) but hopefully it helps.

If you do want to keep up to date on the situation, we've a few designated discussions where the community are sharing knowledge and supporting one another which I've added below:

• Green Paper Discussion
• Spring Statement Discussion

Best wishes,

Cari

Join disabled people against the cuts. Disabled people are coming together to protest against these cuts and it is working. The media has been very interested in this in London and Swansea particularly. Asked to see your MP and tell them doesn’t help people get back to work it will take more money for people to get the reasonable adjustments to do so. Many workplaces are not accessible in the first place and towards disabled people are very negative.Sign all the petitions. We can change this if we get our voices heard.
