Scope's reply to the governments planned concessions to the green paper.

The destination they're moving towards clearly shows you'll be better protected on PIP, if you qualify. I would arrange an interview at your local Citizens Advice Bureau, and make clear it's about PIP/benefits. They usually have an expert who can advise you and help you prepare a thoroughly detailed application.

Correct. 83 Labour rebels are needed if every other MP outside Labour votes against the bill. Marr says he understands the government have secured enough votes to win.
He says 50ish who will definitely vote against.
20 who are wavering.
The rest are satisfied they have secured enough concessions to support the bill.0 -
Hi, Im desperate to find out if income related ESA will be affected by tomorrow's bill. It should pass and if it does, will I be protected as health element of universal credit should be.
They want me to migrate across to universal credit but if I am protected while on the ESA, I would rather wait for a while.
Does anyone know please.

I don't think anyone does know yet as this question has been asked several times. This site will steer you in the right direction as soon as anybody does know, though. You're not alone.

I’m sure I read one mp said they’re happy they’ve saved their constituents pip . Can’t remember who it was . Obviously all along it was about their voters and not future sick and disabled

I am being reviewed in 2027 i have already been given 4 points on one of my criteria - if i have no change will i still get my award and will it be less money - i have been on pip for around 10 years with no change ?

I'm starting to feel more ill with all of this, I'm sure it's stress and I probably need a break. But that's really hard to do when this is all going on, so hard to take your mind off it.

They are changing the assessments and descriptors that score points, but we don't know how yet and maybe not until 2027. But I'd think if you get 4 points on something now, and you've been on PIP for 10 years, I would guess you'll be OK in terms of getting some award.

Yes, dangerously transparent about his motivations.

I think possibly Meg hillier but can’t be sure

After tomorrow, I'll be taking some days off from this site so I can recharge my batteries. I hope you'll consider doing something similar if its making you feel ill. Coping with the unknown is so difficult for a lot of us, which makes the government's current approach especially cruel and inhumane.

No, Marrs numbers are Labour rebels only.

Wouldn't surprise me given how she's been applauding her own efforts since the government gave a little ground.

I'm just plain angry to be honest, sick of the BS, sick of the lies, sick of the gaslighting nonsense.
If these cowardly barstools just came out and said "We hate Disabled people" then I would have more respect for them instead they do this covert **** which we can all see through.
Imagine going into a job centre in the future, it will become frequently chaotic with people having mental breakdowns after being given sanctions or people attacking work coaches and security staff, I see it all happening and I'm scared thinking about it.
Labour are willing to put the wellbeing of the public at risk with this nonsense too.
