    Do we need five ANNOUNCEMENTS about benefits?

    That's a fair point @WhatThe. Rather annoyed I hadn't thought of it! 😂 I'm going to see what older ones can be removed. It is important we continue to share updated information like this though and with Green Paper, it's constantly on the move as you know.

    I wrote to my mp. my mp responded but didn’t tackle the issues I had raised, just said Labour was working hard. I’ve tried tagging her on social media posts, but she doesn’t allow comments, which is very unfair. She just has pr shots. I read the list of mps who are against pip cuts, she is not one of them. It’s a farce. This affects my mum. I am young enough to make an impression when I say I will NEVER vote for Labour again in my lifetime. With the fuel cuts last year…my mum had to fight for a year for her pip, and was so drained & exhausted when they relented after threat to tribunal, she didn’t want to challenge it. I’m dreading next years review. I think/hope, she will be safe under labours proposal . She has very severe lung condition, but I will never forgive the, for the stress they are putting her through.

    This is a response I had from my local MP, fair to say I read it and just put it to one side 🤬 I’m not due to be reviewed until 2027 and I’m muck scared! I’ve thought about finding the questions, then sitting down with my tablet and working through each answer in my own time in readiness for D-Day. I’m going to look at getting my local CAB to help me fill out the relevant paperwork. I’m going to head to a local library to print off copies of medical letters I have to use as evidence. I’m also going to take photographs of the adaptations in my flat that I have to use as well. When I’m put on the spot and answered question’s, I clam up, my anxiety shoots through the roof, I struggle to get my words out, I start to scratch my hands and I just end up closing down. It just fills me with sickness and dread what the Labour Government is doing.
    We are many people that may have a few bumps, scratches and be different to other people, but we all stand united as one solid union against the Labour Dark Side!!
