Upcoming changes to benefits

Someone in comments on it said they were called into job centre as targeting 18 to 24 year olds and over 50s which is her. Interview.

What successive governments are doing is immoral it's a human rights violation and discrimination.

I Cant believe my grandfather fought Fsacism and was maimed in process to give his children and grandchildren a secure safe future only to see it in full swing.

I've been reading Comments sections across the board and other than the usual suspects Everyone loathes what they are doing to ordinary people.

if what we’ve read in the press is true they intend to only award pip to the most disabled and sick yet they intend more assessments for those not as disabled or sick . Bit of a contradiction. Also this is going to ramp up the power play to the assessors . It’s all up to them how sick we actually are . I have GP letter going back years clearly stating my conditions are chronic and prognosis not good . Yet I still have to fight and have short awards . Because it all depends on luck of who you get for your assessment.

if this goes to court and possibly the echr how long could that delay it for any idea ?

That is what I wished too I think it's first time in my life I wished I was older

Sorry I don't know how to create a new post but for anyone who is employed in healthcare (nurse/carer etc) and off sick or really struggling, please look at the (Edith) Cavelle Trust. I dont know if it helps for former healthcare workers but is worth checking. It is a very easy/straightforward process online. They helped me a couple of years ago with a grant of 500.00 (not repayable).

Also if you're in a Union, do look to see if they help. The Royal College of Nursing via their 'Lamplight' charity, helped me in a similar way.

Sorry if this is in the wrong place.

Same here , you'd think I was going to the Moon or somewhere with my nerves. This lot, Kendall et al. need a rocket under them, I wish they'd join Musk and Trump and go to Mars.
