Hi ,
Have you seen this information anywhere else other than The Financial Times? I’ve been looking and can’t see any other outlets reporting on this . Usually they like to copy each other .

I'm happy to put on what I can find that is relevant. 😊

This is like torture, every few days news comes out appearing to give hope to some people while still leaving the rest of us worried sick. I spent the morning going over all the point descriptors wondering if I could get 12 points. At the moment I get 9 and it’s soul destroying. I cant keep living like this, not sleeping or eating and just miserable. I try to stay positive I really do and have even laughed a few times at a couple of posts but I feel dead inside. Also just got the migration letter and that’s not helping, just can’t face it.

Of course, you can.
I trust karma and believe it will visit the Prime Monster sooner or later. Karma doesn't spare anyone and he'll have to pay back.

I forgot about that one, lol.
Here's another one I forgot about, Sausage Starmer which is one I came up with myself a while back, it relates to when he accidently said something like release the sausages by mistake instead of release the hostages.

"McGovern said that people whose benefits were cut under Labour would receive radically different support. Work support will be offered by GPs and physiotherapists, in addition to the extended support in jobcentres."
I wonder how GPs would offer "work support", when I can't even see my GP for my health issues. I've only been able to see any GP at my surgery 3 times since the beginning of the pandemic, even though I live 7 minutes walk away from their surgery. E-consultation has been put in place since the beginning of the pandemic and I've only since been able to communicate with them via e-consultation and a phone call in the following 48hrs.
I can't call my surgery and book an appointment not only with my regular GP, but with any other GP at the surgery. We've to fill in e-consultation form, which is available from 7.30 AM and often closes by 9 AM.

Hearing Starmer talk about Farage concerning trusting him over your futures.. whether or not I do I certainly don't with him, like he doesn't get what he's doing, traits of narcissist.

There is a comment on Benefits and Work in the news section article about the CAB Pathway to Poverty report about Sian Berry MP early day motion 949. It is to do with welfare cuts and treating disabled people with dignity and respect. I have done what the poster asked and written to my MP asking him to sign it.

Me neither until today, I now wish I'd appealed against it, I scored 11 points in daily living, I never knew until today that 12 would have meant enhanced. I'm so cross with myself today now for accepting the lower amount through fear I'd lose the lot. I won't be making that same mistake again, thank god I come on this forum I'd have done same thing at my next reassessment and lost everything under new rules(if they succeed).

The 4 point rule is surely discriminatory. Is you went to your Dr/ specialist and he said do you have a 4? Point in pip and you said no is he/she going to say oh you’re not disabled then . It’s ridiculous. And of course those of us on enhanced can suddenly lose a point and we are back to tribunal. No one is safe and assessments can’t be predicted as it’s luck of who does your assessment imo

I'm undecided on this one. Whilst I would prefer they didn't make any changes, I can also see why this may be a consideration.
My two older sons both get UC at the LCWRA rate. One had it from 20 and one from 23ish. We didn't apply originally because it just wouldn't have been beneficial going through the assessment. But during lockdown, this could be done over the phone. So we applied for him.
They both received the COL payments, whereas we, getting Income Support, didn't. They both pay towards housekeeping but other than that, they have no bills, no shopping to buy, no fuel or car maintenance to pay for etc. So I can see why an under 22, living at home, doesn't really need as high an income as others. Plus many who receive LCWRA are still in Education until 25, so the parents will be claiming those benefits until the child turns 20.
I also think they should have made PIP three tiered like DLA, which would help those who may have needs but not quite enough points for Standard.0 -
Wow that sounded positive to me . Maybe the graph I read was correct that the Tory’s voting against
