The Universal Credit Bill becomes law. Here are the changes to disability benefits you need to know

Hi passerby

I think one of the big problems why people aren't discussing what you say about lwcra is the complexity of some of the benefits they actually receiving. Some folk actually have forgotten what names of individual terms of benefit they mean. For example, some folk on esa forget they're receiving different components of esa eg the term lwcra.and what it means. They've forgotten what rate they're on, higher or middle or low. The more it's delved into the more frustrating it becomes, till the average claiment already under immense pressure forfeits any right to know what they've been claiming and gives it up to the folk in charge to decide what they're going to get next(dwp). Myself included had to look it up, the full list of what the terminology meant, and I think maybe some people just want to know what they are going to receive, not what they should be receiving. In my experience, in times before the dwp often as not got it right. Bit. Like going to your doctor. you trusted them. now Im fearful, not so sure. That's why I asked in a past post, "what is the nation coming to"? Sorry for the waffle

Take care. socrates.

Ok yes I get that just for some reason I can't recall it goes in savings account..It all gets used I'm not trying to build up a load of money, ESA goes in Flexi saver and pip in current. My ESA has gone up a bit since I was quite ill last year but it's ending so guess I just need to concentrate on UC.

Absolutely.

One thing has been very clear through this, being that they will scrap the WCA, so considering the impact it's incredibly frustrating that this whole issue is so neglected.
