    As worthy as this challenge maybe I'll say what I have said here before that this is a ship that has already sailed, in other words 2 million of us have missed the boat.
    I suppose you could also argue that if those on ESA missed out so did those on PIP.
    2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

    That would be to mix up different types of benefit. Income based JSA and ESA, Tax Credits and UC are working age means tested benefits whereas DLA and PIP are non means tested disability benefits.

    I realised that. I was just making an observation about it should anyone wish to pursue that argument!
