    I feel I am obsessed with it all..

    Non stop looking for 'hope' that these changes won't happen.

    One minute 'oh it might be ok' ,next I am devastated..

    It is so bad what these so called people are putting us through.

    It is our lives ,our very existence.

    I am fixated it feels like.

    If this goes ahead, the wider cost to society will be bigger than any money Labour save, why can't people comprehend that?

    Everything happening with these benefits reforms is very worrying.

    Why does moving over trigger the pip review , just one thing after another isn't it 🙄 could have a UC review at any time , bank monitoring starting to get rolled out in 2026 , I'm terrified that two old undeclared closed accounts from years ago will flag up , then waiting on the lcwra reassessment that will start up after April 2026 have to pass that just to take me up to when the new pip criteria kicks in 😩😂 if you don't laugh you cry

    It feels like they don't actually care about that at all :(

    Unfortunately most of the general public won't care about the cuts, the papers ect have made us all look like scougers. The papers were up in arms about the cuts to the WFA and 2 child benefits. Disabled people have always been invisible and to a large amount of the population they just won't care as long as they are OK.

    It's not just you @bton1968 It's taken joining this forum for me to realise I'm not the only person living in terror.

    Ultimately I'm extremely bitter and resentful over this saga but it's motivating me to stick it to them because I'm not crawling into a corner and giving up.

    It feels like I'm reliving the past but with Labour, Tories, Reform as the abusers and instead of cowering, begging for mercy, falling for the gaslighting, the manipulation and the lies, I see through it all and I feel more defiant to prove these nasty, vindictive invertebrates wrong.

    You have to be a spineless coward to abuse those you think are weaker than you.

    I just had a reply from starmers office giving the usual rubbish. I replied asking how they intend to decide who’s classed as several, will it be NHS guidelines or the assessors who lie . I said I have enhanced now and am mostly house/ bed bound but don’t get a 4 point so what happens to me as there aren’t any other benefits available. I can’t apply for uc basic as I cannot engage with work as ME sufferers cannot push themselves as it’s harmful. I said there are millions of disabled people who will not vote for Starmer if these reforms go ahead so that’s more lost votes to add to the pensioners and farmers . Next election we will have a reform government and Tory opposition. I said you mentioned the Tory’s but I never felt this hated by them only Labour .
