Hi luvpink,
I don’t think when means testing is mentioned it means people just over a certain amount or those with savings . I can only speak for myself but it’s millionaires and those on very high incomes. Look at David Cameron for instance. He claimed DLA for his son though he’s a millionaire. My point is yes legally he was entitled to but for us whether we work on a low wage or cannot work we rely on pip . We would be destitute if we lost it . We know when it’s coming into our accounts as we need it . For some like Cameron it’s just extra and if they lost it they wouldn’t feel the effect as we would. I’ve lost pip in the past and esa at the same time and was in a terrible state . But it wouldn’t have affected me if I were a millionaire or very well off .

I agree . I have invisible conditions and I feel I’m looked as a fake as I look fine . When I’m bad people don’t see me . Everyone has a story of I have a neighbour etc who gets pip and is fine yet I can’t get it . But you don’t know how someone suffers behind closed doors .

I think right now there’s no one else to vote for . People gave labour a chance and that’s made the situation worse. Come an actual election would Reform voters who are disabled really vote for them ? I think all three parties are losing the disabled vote yet they keep telling us there are millions of people who are disabled.

I don't think you need to apologise at all @Topcat71 - if you can't post on here when you're feeling low and get some support I think there is something wrong here 🤷♀️🫂. I don't come on here as much, mostly for the same reason as @mrsBB has mentioned. It's enough to be 'fighting' the government, certainly don't expect it on here. I hope you get the support you need on here and don't feel you have to 'be positive' for others' benefit when it's not how you feel. Take good care.

They played a similar trick on me . I was down as having phone assessment and recorded . Dwp wrote that and I called Atos to confirm. 30 mins before the call they called to say it’s booked with someone who can’t record . Then blamed dwp and said it’s dwp who book appointments

exactly but I can’t see them voting reform in a GE. Reform though are doing us a favour at the moment.

Starmer such a lapdog we will have to pushback more can you imagine the stress behind those doors him reeves kendell really thought they could use the scroungers lazy hiring people to takeout on uc getting 3 grand a month but the good thing for us is One they are not people's people they are stiff robotic everything rehearsed a million times they have no charisma noting two they hit every part of society one after the other to quickly so a big majority instantly hated them three we have had 14 years the last few years rough and we had enough at first we was fearful scared I know we still are but we have grown as a community we have given strenght to each other and this is happening all over with different groups fighting the same battle should be so proud of ourselves

I don’t think he’ll be in for long 🤞. I read this morning about reeves on her way out but pat McFadden possibly taking her place . I’m sure I’ve read he’s for cuts or am I wrong ?

Some pop claiments are not waiting for operations or mental health support. Alot of people have chronic ongoing conditions that they have been told will never ever improve. But these people will also lose their pip.

This is my fear . I have ME and fibromyalgia among other illnesses. There’s no cure or treatment. So I’ve no back up plan . Yet I’m always up for reassessment when I can only get worse with age not better .

I know and I agree with you . I think everyone on this forum would be lost without their pip . I have no cure or treatment so I’d be destitute with no plan b . And I’m single so can’t count on a partner while I go to tribunal. You heard what the mp said , he compared pip to pocket money because to them it is .well off people have no idea . They can apply for pip and depending on how well off they are it may be a bonus . To us it’s a lifeline . I really think they should bring in rules whereby if you lose pip you keep it while you go through the appeal system. I’ve lost mine before and was left with nothing .
