in Universal Credit (UC)

Hi what do you think most likely will happen with this next plot to pip and Universal credit lcwra? Do you think they it will happen? Do you think they will but will takes many years to enforce it? Also do you think it will start from new claims first? Or just the young under age age 21? Each time they try this I get worried. I have 5 years award left had my review last year and was awarded awarded same award for 3 years again 1 point from enhance rate for both. I ask for mandatory appeal I ask for longer award and higher award. I then got higher rate for both plus almost 7 years award.

    I don't think anything official has been announced yet under Andy Burnham @neil12345. Even when they do, I would imagine it will take a while to go through and things won't change overnight😊

    If he goes after benefit claimants, particularly the disabled, he'd be committing career suicide because nobody with sense will ever vote for him.

    The "Live" websites from the Reach PLC are having a field day speculating over this! Please look after your mental health and don't click any links if you see them.

    Sheffieldman is talking about the next GE and/or local elections.

    At the rate the UK seems to get through PM's nowadays we'll probably have a different one by the next GE. 😄

    In Manchester we have a Mayoral Election tomorrow, due to Andy Burnham now being PM, cannot say anyone I have spoken to has even mentioned Benefits.

    More about Cost of Living and what the next Mayor will do for Manchester. Also do we know who most of the candidates are.

    They have also changed the way we vote tomorrow not first past the post. We have to choose a first and second candidate. So that should confuse enough people that a good number of votes will not count.

    We have been sent an Election Booklet explaining how it all works. I wonder how many people will read it.

    We have Seven candidates to choose from all mentioned in the Election Booklet which is 22 pages long.

    I would like to know who paid for these booklets for the whole of the Manchester area of over Two million people?
