Is the short form gd or bad? I had put loads of info down and had two medical experts write letters and even had one help me fill it out... so nervous 😓

I don’t know about good or bad really . Last time my form said you can just put no change but I think it was advised to fill it out as you would normally. I don’t know there’s any way to predict as it’s to do with case managers and assessors if you need one . The worst part is over so fingers crossed you’ll be fine 🤞

As a % of GDP, the UK government is spending the same amount on working-age benefits as it was in 2015. This stands at around 5% and is not projected to change by 2030. This is because we have seen deep cuts to benefits like Universal Credit alongside the increase in people claiming health and disability benefits.

Still much confusion for those over retirement age and in receipt of PIP.
I have raised my concerns with my MP Helen Morgan who has in turn raised them with
Minister of State for Social Security and Disability
He has responded with this, I am still not clear as to what he has to say, especially under the the new 4 point rule. Can anyone decipher this for me please as I only have 3 points in one category not the 4 that is to be required.
"At the heart of our reforms is a mission to give people a better life, by protecting people who need it and helping people into work where they can, particularly disabled people who deserve equal choices and chances. Our reforms intend, first and foremost, to protect the most vulnerable. We are ensuring they are protected now, by maintaining their incomes and investing in the NHS and social care, and protected in the future, by putting our social security system onto a sustainable footing to enable it to endure for the long term. In keeping with existing policy, people of State Pension age are not routinely fully reviewed and will not be directly affected by these changes. For everyone else, none of these changes are happening overnight. Infact, they will not happen until people have a reassessment from November 2026, so anyone reaching State Pension age before then will be protected."

I hope the rebels are not swayed by Starmer and Co. This is no time for minor, poorly thought out concessions. It has to be back to the drawing board and common decency.

So still rising? It would be odd for the Speaker not to select the ammendment.

Thank you for the clarification. I just wanted to note that the phrase used in your original post I responded to, “on the payroll”, can be easily misunderstood without context. It implies that PPS’s are paid for the role, when in fact they are not. That is a common misconception.
I was not being pedantic about your wording, but I do think clarity is important, particularly in forum discussions where not everyone is familiar with the finer points of parliamentary roles or terminology. I was genuinely pleased to see the correct terminology acknowledged regarding PPSs being unpaid. As you can see, this is an area where confusion often arises, especially in relation to how these roles intersect with government votes.
Also, just to clarify, my previous post you have slightly misquoted. I did not say PPSs are required to resign. I said that some have chosen to step down, which is a different point and worth keeping accurate.
The example you gave of Whips involves a different situation, as they are salaried government officials. If they plan to vote against the government, they must resign from that paid role. PPSs, being unpaid, simply step aside. It is a structural distinction, and one that is important to get right.

Yes. We should all work if we are able. Who on earth would choose to live on a pittance rather than pursue a worthwhile career path? But some of us are simply too disabled/ I'll for adjustments to be worth a jot. I think back 30 years and the supposed "dot com" revolution. Yet as I found, the bigger the online company the bigger the HQ. Work from home has only been possible for a minority outside of the pandemic. Even that would be top much for me now. I went out for an hour this morning. I've been sleeping or in my chair ever since.

If I ever, I mean ever have a Reform or a Tory or a Labour canvasser or representative at this door my mother will give them a piece of her mind and I might get the courage to verbally put them in touch also.
I would love to see that cretin Richard Tice be on 70 pounds a week living in a council estate, not using BUPA and having to rely on the NHS, you know he cheated on his wife with Isabel Oakshott? that's the kind of man he is. Why should this country listen to a word he has to say? Please tell me.
