I have noticed you keep using emotive terms, parrot fashion just like the media ,terms such as asylum seeker , immigrant , you carefully avoid the term illegal , we have a system that deals with asylum and deals with immigration, a system that many use correctly to gain entry to this country , do you think it is fair that system has ground to a halt because of illegal immigrants ? I believe no one has any issues with these people entering the country and being looked after accordingly , though the majority of these people are checked and have the means to support themselves once they enter the country .
The issue most people have are the illegal immigrants , now we have several issues to deal with , we do not know who they are , their past criminality if any ,we do not know if we are supporting human trafficking , because how did they get here ? , we do know they chose to work round a legal system, we do know they are not running for their lives , no war in France , we do know they are taking up recourses , they are obviously being fed , housed, clothed etc .
I would love to do a survey among those who believe these illegal immigrants should be supported , the main points to the survey would be :
1 how many illegal immigrants can you personally house
2 how much of your personal income / savings would you give to support illegal immigrants
3 how much of your personal income would you use to sponsor the daily living of any illegal immigrant
4 would you support an increase in your personal tax payment to pay for illegal immigrants

Here is another relevation to all:
Why do you need a Tribunal:-
I Tribunal is a "last resort" where information sent in by a Claimant for benefits has been looked at, and a Decision Maker for the DWP has made a decision on the availability of a benefit based on what you have sent in.
a) If the Decision Maker decides s/he can make a decision based on that, you will receive that decision.
b) On receiving that decision, the claimant will look at that report and decide whether the report is correct based on the evidence that they (DWP) have.
c) There are now two points raised here, i) Except its content, and send confirmation (via E mail, as electronic) or send a hard copy of your signature in the response forms, that you have excepted its content and no further action is needed.
ii) You do not except its content, and you go through the report, highlighting the "errors" or omissions within that report,
ii. a) You also add what you believe has been omitted with hard copies, (or within the response e-mail) by way of support letters from other parties, on headed paper from people that treat you, (these are files contained within your medical history.) or any medical evidence that has changed either since the form has been submitted, or that you feel should have been included and was not looked at, ( this could be by way of a cyclical event in your treatment, an operation pending, or an operation that has taken place where the results have either been collated with a view of re-visiting the prescribed medication in line with the results or expected results, which, due to the type of operation, a "quick fix" is not the entended result, but on paper would go some way in improving the daily life of the claimant. Cancer being one such operation.
d) That when the report was originally commissioned by the DWP that all evidence would be included and sent to the decision maker, where he would base the initial report based on his experience. This again raises issues as far as the claimant is concernedsince,
a) The claimant may not understand the form sent and would rely on the decision maker to help fill out the form and send in appropiate information, which can be via support letters or medical history.
a. i) The claimant some times when answering such a request, will vet his/her information sent as irrelevant, or not needed, yet when looking at the bigger picture of the claim becomes relevant for the decision maker to understand and make an unbias report about the claimant.
An example is having to get up more than twice to go to the toilet?
Left off the form: How you struggle to get in and out of bed, whether the toilet is up stairs or down stairs, whether because you cannot climb stairs your bedroom is on the ground floor of a 2 story house or 3 story masonette, that struggling to climb stairs, that the property offered is on the third floor where access and regress to the building is required every time you go out, and subsequently this isolates you as you won't go out to compensate.
e) Further information is submitted, where a decision maker will look at the information and then decide whether it warrents a change under the change of circumstances, or that the information supplied is beyond his normal expertise as they are not medically qualified, and would require further support from people that they hire to give a report on the medical information and history supplied, as the "gargon" used by Doctors or the expected results can only be decifered by a Medically trained professional, this would also take into account the medication previously taken and why there was a need to increase or decrease the dosage at that time, or the future, to coinside with the results that the Doctor of medically trained person would be expecting.
This is the basis of every claim:-
Since the System of assessment is being questioned not only by me and SCOPE, but every person that claims a benefit under the "new" Reform Rules and the way that the government suports the benefit system by making cuts based on costings and not the "individual" needs of the claimant. Then I need to question "What am I paying National Insurance" for?
Who supports the claimant when an issue arrises? Since the cause of the problem is the very people that administer the claim from start to finish?
Why do we need a further assessment for benefits when the need for an assessment is to get "medical assistance"
This is incomplete but after a week of how the system works and the recent Judicial review in a tribunal on Wednesday 23rd April. it is time to stop peoples perception of what I ask for and give me the requested information in a PDF format so I can enforce that document with the continual errors made as they say its a legal document used to base all claims on.

Morning everyone,
so I just read more exerts from Lord Ashcrofts book on starmer in the daily mail. I could be wrong but I think this was the source of the talk of rayner quitting. Today they give a picture of starmer , by past colleagues and acquaintances, of being weak and instead of fighting during a court case but trying to go along with proceedings. Apparently easily swayed is the impression I got . If this is true would it be worth us all again emailing him ? He comes across as weak so maybe he could be swayed ? I can’t link it on here as I don’t know how sorry but someone may find it interesting.

Any links, including raynor quitting, not heard of that.
I have stayed away from the news.1 -
Hi , sorry I don’t know how to link but it’s just on the daily mail . Also YouTube yesterday regarding rayner , silver fox hot takes. It’s all from the book written by lord ashcroft .

We all need to do this daily until they get pee'd off, since I am disabled 24/7 and the cuts to my financial needs are 24/7.
You also have to realise who put them their, and if they are NOT doing what they say on the box, then they WILL BE REPLACED.
It is not in my remit to quit….

hi Catherine ,
No I meant starmer . I just emailed him . Maybe if he gets more and more emails he might listen. Long shot but it’s better than nothing.

I basically gave him an overview of my conditions , said these are lifelong with no cure available and not just my “ behaviour “ . I said also stated that even though he has said the most severely disabled will be protected I am mostly bed bound and do not get a 4 point descriptor as assessors don’t award them .

I found it now, not really much, just some stuff from a book.

yes but it gives an impression of starmer as weak . That’s the impression I got before the election. If that’s right then maybe we can put more pressure on him . At the end of the day whoever is telling him to go ahead it’s his name signing off the reforms and he’ll be responsible.

I have started a petition on Change.org to oppose the Pathways To Work Green Paper and a call to get it scrapped altogether. If anyone would like to sign or share it I would be most grateful, the more of us that oppose these 'reforms' the better, even if it seems like a small contribution we make. Link is below, thanks.

sarah_lea12Online Community Member Posts: 256 Empowering6:13AMHow strange. Your comment now deleted was suggesting that elderly people should be fighting our cause - senior citizens should defend benefits for working-age citizens and the disabled
🤣 🤣 🤣
"I would love to do a survey among those who believe these illegal immigrants should be supported" Please launch your immigration survey and immigration discussion on a new thread instead of trying to derail this one.
How one becomes a Trump admirer without mainstream media is beyond me…

it's beyond my capability but it would be nice to have web page where it shows MP's voting intentions on the green paper ….
every MP needs to be listed and show if they are in favour of the cuts, against them, or intend in taking the cowards way out and abstaining from the vote !
if such a web page was created it would quickly gather momentum if shared with other disability charities ….
Name and shame them !

Danny, LCWRA is the Support Group (in ESA). The Support Group is LCWRA.
It doesn't belong in any other award or benefit.

Youi can word an e mail to your MP statinhg I wish to know yopur intentions of the proposed cut, and which way they are going to vote since an abstention on your part is a non-vote in the next election from me.

He just wrote the book on starmer so I wouldn’t waste time on him Catherine, unless someone says differently. I just think starmer comes across weak and maybe we can use that to our advantage. We’ve nothing to lose by sending an email

Hi ,
Yes this is exactly what I’ve said and on the DPAC Facebook group. I’m not on social media apart from facebook. Though I don’t really engage on there. But we do need a list of MPs and everyone who knows how they’ll vote to register it and then get it out on X etc . Mines Jeremy Corbyn so I know he’s on our side
