Hi @secretsquirrel1 - this has been added about 'severe conditions' in the Amendment Paper (UC & PIP Bill) today,
'applies to the claimant as a result of a fluctuating condition such as Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis' This can be seen on p8 :

Dear Holly, and others whose name I cannot remember - damaged memory
Thank you so much for
- listening to my and others concerns re the UC PIP Bill,
- working with DRUK, Disability Alliance and other disabled peoples' organisations
- - for taking on my suggestions, to keep keeping on writing to MPs, and the media, and for organising a mass lobby of Parliament - for growing, developing more self compassion, and compassion for others, and in many other ways.
- - a just cause struggle for equality allows us all to go beyond our limits, neurotic and otherwise, to be moved in more senses than one, to overcome fears, and find n3ew strengths and joys in adversity
- - for seeing and practicing all demons are diamonds,
- - and for so much more courage persistence and patience and love, solidarity,
- - for us all to see how we've developed through this struggle against cruel discrimination, brutal inhuman prejudices
- - for not ever giving up, we've won things, need to win back all our benefits and more help from govt if we want to work on our terms
- - its not over; we SHALL overcome.

So this is why we need to email mps to scrap this sorry it's all over the place I'm not good at this but it's making more sense as someone said will be 2028 2029 but ideally hope scrapped as money bill can't be contested

if anyone has the energy, email your MP and ask them to vote against the bill next Wednesday.
We can’t have the “severely disabled” clause to be able to get full health element on UC.
Even if it doesn’t affect you.
Also, we need guarantees that Disability groups will be listened to

BREAKING NEWS: Last night, the Government won a vote to cut benefits that will push hundreds of thousands of sick and disabled people into poverty. [1]
Make no mistake: the Government is trying to rush these changes through. We’ve only got ONE WEEK until another crucial moment and Keir Starmer will be hoping the public won’t notice so he can get his cruel cuts through Parliament.
But MPs are already feeling the pressure, that’s why last night saw the biggest rebellion of Keir Starmer’s time as leader so far. They’ve seen our petitions, read our letters and heard our demands - meaning some are speaking out.
Now’s the time to redouble our efforts, be bolder than ever and demand these cruel cuts are stopped, before it’s too late. [2]
Milan, will you sign the petition and add to the huge public backlash before these cruel cuts come back to Parliament next week? We only have seven days to show the Government what we - the public - expect from them:
I’LL SIGN1 -
Not everyone is great with technology @bellatango but we do not berate community members for joining in to offer support and reassurance. 😊

Please 🙏

I get that albus, but the same thing doesn't need to be repeated over and over. Support and reassurance is what we all need in these really difficult times and there are lots of wonderful knowledgeable people on here at times, but a little consideratation for others works both ways.
It has certainly made me not want to read here as much and I'm sure you don't want to be driving people away either.

Thanks for the feedback @bellatango, it's always appreciated. We're working on something, don't worry. 😊
But in the meantime, if anyone needs to raise any issues, I'd say it's best to email us privately at community@scope.org.uk or DM @Community_Scope 😊

My fault sorry I can't see and post and post same again I can imagine it is annoying

Thank you. Whatever improves the experience for ALL members is appreciated, so the fact you're working on something sounds good. For now I shall use the ignore feature, though that does fragment the discussion somewhat, so not ideal.
No offence intended to anyone, but it just needed saying and I think feedback is good. I will say no more on it now.
Thanks.

Just to update everyone, our lovely media team have updated the Scope blog with some easy to read information. If you're unsure what's going on, I recommend having a read. 😁

Maybe it's better with just links to website instead of huge screen shots.

I agree apples hope your well this is why I think this could go to our advantage email mps and tell them we will use out votes wisely or how anyone would word it
