Sorry my brain had a moment, the much more against would have been left wing voters yes. I cant find it in my browsing history, but I remember where I found it so later will look where I got it from and post the link here.

Great news if true, whilst the 3 years concession is much better than the original 2 months offered, the reality is its still not very long and if your next review date is after 2028 anyway, it makes no difference.

I hope your right but can't see that

But they’re not saying we are covered until 2028 so how come no mp especially the rebels have mentioned this fact ?

I really don't know why they have Ministers and the prime minister on tv for an interview because they never answer the question they have been given. I think the presenters who are interviewing them are to polite. I would just say answer the xxxxx question. But they don't.

I want all incapacitated and disabled people present and future who claim disability oriented benefits to be protected.
No concessions, pull the bill and start from scratch working closely with disability activists like Ellen Clifford, work with the tax payers alliance so they can acknowledge that anyone could become incapacitated and that safety net is for everyone who needs it.

I apologise its my assumption, but the press seem to be making the same assumption as that the concession is for the 2026 4 point change, not the bigger change that timms is still working on.

I think it's the Times that reported it

I think it’s an assumption everyone is making as we don’t trust this government especially Starmer . I just don’t understand why no journalist or mp is questioning it if it’s true . Do they simply think we won’t realise and they can vote it through and keep the government happy and us voters ?

I think ministers always try to rely on public ignorance as much as possible and are good at manipulating the press.

Thank you Bella ,
I also wouldn’t be surprised if Tory votes it down. I watched the shadow dwp minister this morning saying they made the offer of support but it’s not going far enough. He said it’s the young with MH they want to support in work . I could be wrong but I think Tory’s keeping their cards close to their chests ready to vote against. Just my opinion

I know but if you we didn’t come into this forum or others like it we wouldn’t hear anything about it changing for us all 2028. Even YouTube hasn’t mentioned it
