Dear Luvpoink,
You expressed confusion and distyress at the horrible prospect of these PIP changes, and say that you havent eaten.
I am so sorry to hear that.
I do feel for you, andmany others on this forum too.
Try to eat, treat yourself. Even if you can eat a little bit that is good. If you do not eat you will go further into confusion, despair and even higher anxiety - I know I've been there.
So, please also, record your present physical and mental state, what illnesses have been made worse, and the chronic symptoms you describe above - as evidence to protest (both reconsideration, and appeal =s 2 bites at the cherry).
Keep a record, because it is real, and if you can share this with your MP, to write to Starmer and his Disability ministers.
You are stronger than you know. The news generally is depressing, but not all of it. We Buddhist reduce negative input from the media, and do more mediation, relaxation yoga, and campaigning, for there are socially and politically engaged Buddhists, like me. Compassion requires political, economic and social justice, and there is Maslow's hiearachy of needs .
Please take good care of yourself, perhaps consider, all of us,
'Develop a more compassionate narrative for your sufferings'
e.g you did not ask for this proposed cuts in benefits, you are not bad or evil, but human, you are a valuable intelligent kind human being, and can recover. You can use your friends, etc.
It is not our fault, these proposed cuts, we deserve benefits, and we need to keep writing to the media, and our MPs.
Please Google ''find your MP'' and ''TV'' ''radio'' and ''newspapers'' ''newsdesks''

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.
