Ive sent an email to my local mp (who has said in the past she doesnt like the changes to pip & certain other aspects of the cuts), Angela & John McDonnel, asking them not to fall for it pointing out that there is no other disability benefit its just PIP & asking why something the public don't want, labour members don't want is been pushed is it to destroy the labour party? Asked them to check the facts & not the spin. That unlike the WFA cut which attacked people across the spectrum the disability cuts attack their own voters. That people are been pushed to reform because why bother voting red or blue if its just the same. That these cuts will also push away parents whose kids get DLA as they might get help in the future.

Who is going fight this war with a massive country like blooming Russia and its allies ? Our tiny island would be crushed in a day ! Its nowhere near the same as past wars where several countries all helped each other to defeat Germany, those days are long long gone.

Starmer is dangerous on so many levels. He needs to keep his nose out of things that don't concern him. And fix the UK 👍

"Providing a longer grace period, if they no longer meet the threshold to qualify for PIP - to allow them longer to apply for other benefits"
What "other" benefit are they talking about ?3 -
That's what I'd like to know.

In order for this money to be spent usefully, scientists, engineers, biologists are needed... and there are none. First, they need to be trained. Preferably in US and German universities. The batteries will still be Chinese.

Yes. They don't need society. They need slaves who can work. The King of Great Britain is known to be available, haha!

DWP ‘considering further’ how PIP 4-point rule will affect pensioners
Following previous advice from DWP Minister Sir Stephen Timms that people over state pension age will not be affected by the proposed eligibility changes to PIP announced in the Pathways to Work Green Paper, SNP MP Chris Law has asked a written question seeking further clarification in relation to pensioners who ask for a review.
While reiterating that people of state pension age are not routinely fully reviewed and 'will not be affected by these changes', Sir Stephen does however add that -
We are considering further how the 4-point minimum requirement will affect claimants over state pension age who report a change of circumstances, and we will provide further information in due course.

The 2 answers to this so called grace period is that they're either lying or they're going to create a new LCW post 2028 where people clearly not fit for work who won't be eligible for this Health Element would be placed on and your Work Coach will decide rather than any assessment criteria.
That's my two cents and it's completely disastrous, this isn't about finding work, this is a vicious and calculated attack on disabled people make no mistake.

What is like to know is this , my assessor read all my notes including medical notes before my assessment. She was very clued up on my medical history and conditions . She asked me every question that was on my form from a year and a half earlier. She most likely knew what points she was going to award me . So how will it work when then know they’re going to give you enough points to get an award in the current system but they’re not going to give you a 4 . Will they go through all the nonsense for two hours , give 8, 10, 12 points etc all for nothing ?
