I love silver fox . The way he talks about them is hysterical. I’ve also watched a bit of Dan Wootton on the Starmer family situation.

Ben claimant is from the YouTube channel where he shows Ellen Clifford videos. I don’t know much about him but I think he’s a journalist who’s been fighting the cause a long time . He did say it’s information from ministers who he spoke to after the debate. I assume the Diane Abbott debate unless there are others . The fact he seems connected to Ellen and it was on DPAC ( though in comments section so no idea where he himself posted it) gives a bit of credence to me . Interesting if it’s true it’s not been reported in msm as far as I know

This wouldn't make any sense, as the recent proposals are set to increase funding and support for Access to Work. So I think you may have read that wrongly.0 -
Yes you can ask but they might say no.

I read somewhere that a dwp whistleblower has claimed they’re already making cuts to it such as not funding certain chairs etc . I can’t remember her name . But I’m sure I read more cuts are coming and cuts to access to work was only thing I read . I didn’t pay too much attention as I’m not able to work though

Hi Albus , this is what I read from disability news service. I hope they make sense as I got a bit confused sending them .

Ok thanks for sharing @secretsquirrel1 I was getting my information direct from the governemnt site, so I'll be keeping a close eye on this. I use Access to Work to help me with my working day, as do so many disabled people. This could stop people from working, not put them back in work.
Taken from the government site here
"Stopping people from falling into long-term economic inactivity through early intervention and support by:
- Access to Work Scheme: We will consult on improvements to help people start and stay in work with reasonable adjustments including aids, appliances and assistive technology. These would be the first substantive changes to Access to Work since its introduction in 1994"

It does seem ridiculous of the government to even consider this but would show that any cuts are about cost cutting and not getting people into work. Though pip is an in work benefit so we already know it’s cost cutting. There’s also a video on YouTube regarding the whistleblower. I think the DNS is a reputable news site ?

Another MP has come out against the cuts . Jonathon Brash for Hartlepool has said he’s voting against as although they need to get people into work this isn’t the way to do it . He’s name is not on the known list and letter. I get the feeling he would have voted for cuts but is trying to appease to keep his seat .

I've found the DNS does like it's clickbait titles @secretsquirrel1 but I'd not call them a bad news service a all. You just sometimes need to read between the lines a bit, or take what they say with a pinch of salt.
I claim PIP so this will all effect me unfortunately @Catherine21 but yes, I have of course written to my MP. 😉1 -
I read that they used the msm to demonise MH and neurodivergency to get public on the side of cuts but really the people most affected will be older people with physical conditions especially invisible ones like myself.

Hi Albus , I think the fact there’s a whistle blower who’s been named and stating things are already being cut is why I believed it . I’ve also seen in on YouTube channels where they’re not clickbait but obviously can only report on what’s on government sites and news sites . I have a lovely OT lady who assesses my needs as I’m partially deaf . She has a support work to do sign language for her . This will affect her too . I don’t know how they can claim to be cutting back to get people working when they’ll be making people unemployed. I did just watched on YouTube an interview with another MP not in the letter but has now come out and said he’s voting against and now wishes he hadn’t voted to cut WFA . I thought yes I bet you regret it .

Hi Catherine, I have fibromyalgia and ME/CFS so it’s a vicious circle. I need to move about a bit to loosen up but I have to be careful of post exertion malaise . Not to mention constant headaches and brain fog etc . I have other conditions too . I wrote to them all and told them my symptoms and said I don’t currently get a 4? Point descriptor yet right now I’m classed as disabled but by next year I won’t be . Even though I’m house/bed bound , so how are you protecting those who can’t work. Needless to say they all ignored my emails. But their assistants must read them so they know the strength of feeling.

According to something I read they purposely made it seem like they’re targeting MH ( feeling bluesy) adhd and autism ( over diagnosed) by using the msm . In fact it’s physically disabled they’re targeting and older people not the young . If you watch Dan Wootton on YouTube he shows pics of Starmer with his friends the press . They have information on him but are keeping quiet even though it’s discussed in parliament apparently. Obviously this is just what’s on Dans channel so I don’t know but it’s compelling, and shows it’s not just the public who can’t trust him .

I think we should all be very careful with comparing people to the N party and repeating that kind of hyperbole please.
