Election Manifestos

Matilda

There are summaries on the Disabilty Rights website of how the parties' manifestos affect disabled people.

For PIP, The Labour Party intend to scrap privatised assessment companies like Atos and Capita and end re-assessments for those with long term degenerative conditions.

 They will increase ESA by £30 a a week and scrap sanctions. And scrap the bedroom tax.

There are other welfare proposals as well.

@ Matilda. I know who I am voting for, but then I was in any case. Am I correct in thinking that you have your assessment, or Tribunal this Wednesday? If so I wish you all the very best for that, will be thinking about you. Please let us know how you get on xx

Matilda

Thank you, @Justice, tribunal Wednesday this week.

I'll post afterI've receive the tribunal's decision which might not be on the day.

Justice
