I can’t believe she didn’t see what he was like . I knew he couldn’t be trusted without even meeting him. She seemed happy enough when he took the WFA away . And she’s still walking around with him knowing he’s trying to get rid of the disabled. I doubt she’s given us a single thought .

I see what you mean! I can see why you put it that way though. The government are planning to virtually scrap the PIP DL.
Isn't it good that up to 130 MPs are opposing the cuts now. We apparently need a minimum of 83.🤗 That does look hopeful. However, we will have to wait until they vote for it to know for sure. 🤞

Oh god I hope they vote against. Do we need to Tory’s and independents to also vote against along with the 83 Labour.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if they scrapped the reforms . What a relief it would be for us all

She was journalist that broke the story of the 4 point scoring so I would say she’s in the know

On the daily express they’re reporting a climb down on the WFA next month

They need to stop the 4 point rule and scrapping of wca so those who fail pip assessment don’t lose everything.

She was and she does seem to have her finger on the pulse. Any glimmer of hope is most welcomed. Thank u for posting. Hopefully it's not going to go all the government's way. If these proposals get through Labour are out of government at the next GE. There's another council election next year and they'll be wiped out there as well.

Good question, I asked Chatgpt and this is what it said;
✅ Your Current Status:
- You’re on Universal Credit with LCWRA since 2023
- You’re considered an existing claimant
- This gives you transitional protection
🔍 If the New Health Element Is Introduced:
The government has said they will abolish LCWRA and replace it with a “new health element” tied to being on PIP. This means:
Under the New System:
- To get the health element, you would need to be receiving PIP
- The WCA (Work Capability Assessment) would be scrapped eventually
- Instead, PIP eligibility would determine health-related support
🛑 But for You (as an existing claimant):
You should be protected under transitional arrangements, even if:
- You lose PIP
- You don’t meet the new rules under the new system
As long as you:
- Do not have a break in your Universal Credit claim
- Do not report a change in health or circumstances
- Remain on UC with LCWRA continuously
➡️ You should keep your LCWRA component (or be given an equivalent transitional health element) even if you don’t qualify under the new system.
⚠️ What Could Put This At Risk?
- Losing your UC claim entirely and making a new claim later
→ You’d be treated as a new claimant, assessed under new rules - Reporting an improvement in your health
→ This could trigger a reassessment and loss of transitional protection
Summary:
Situation
Will it affect your LCWRA?
You lose PIP, but no other change
❌ No – LCWRA continues
You’re reassessed under old LCWRA rules
✅ Still possible to pass
Government switches to new health element
❌ No impact – transitional protection
You end your UC claim and reapply later
⚠️ Yes – risk of being reassessed under new rules
You report a change in health
⚠️ Yes – could trigger reassessment

So what sort of concessions do we think the government are going to suggest to get it through ?
0 -
That’s a good question. Won’t be much will it ? But it’s the 4 point rule we need scrapping . And we need lcwra . They can’t be allowed to take away our right to be classed long term sick and disabled. They need to scrap it all and scrap Atos etc . That’ll save money not paying for constant assessments

Well, we are only speculating about it. You could be right, I could be right or a combination of the two! 🤔
Your probably the one who's nearer to being correct to be honest. People in that position are much more likely not give a damn about us.

After just listening to the reporter mention kids in poverty I wonder if they’ll give concessions if children are involved. Hope that’s not the case that anyone without children doesn’t count .
