I can't stop shaking and am in so much pain. Tried to sleep but ended up having an awful flashback/ptsd attack. Also been sick. I really don't think I can take much more of this.

It certainly would be good to be taken to Court I hope Ellen Ciifford can do this .
It's not confirmed yet if there will be any challenges in future.

Good Morning all,
I have been reading and lurking in the background but it's now time I think to put my support in.
I have been reading these leaks with horror over last few days, with the uncertainty, proposed U-turns and not even sure what is actually to come.
I hope the Green Paper shows that it is not as bad as we fear, but I think it may be wishful thinking. I feel as a 40 year old with Autism, anxiety, and on waiting list for ADHD, I am exactly in the target market for their cuts!! I receive LCWRA and enhanced daily on PIP, renewed for 5 years last month.
I just hope that anything in this Green Paper is challenged and watered down, if it happens at all. I am willing to support and be active for any action that needs to be taken, this cannot be allowed to go ahead, especially as a full fat version of the supposed plans!
Keep safe all, try and think positive. We have people on our side, let's not back down over this. Remember we have been medically assessed as not fit for work, and disabled. They hopefully can't change this definition overnight over what is disabled and what isn't!
Much love to you all. Steven

Same here as soon as I left school I did shift work for most my life paying tax and NI when I could hardly pay my rents (So high) and had no money for much else . Never took a penny out of the system and still do some work at home when I can.
If I knew how I'd be treated when needing to use some of my own money I paid in id have definitely moved abroad to Norway and paid into a scheme all my working life that would have given me much more money back and a supportive disability friendly environment.

So it seems likely that these changes will take a while to implement and may not even go ahead but for those severely disabled, they probably won't have to have any other reassessments on the back of this, despite many changes not actually coming into effect

What's going to happen to the thousands of motabilty cars that people have on PIP ?
If several 100 thousand get reduced PIP ?

I think that would be my advice to anyone young now that wonders if they should go abroad or work here.
I regret it with all my heart.

Thank you Steven. You have calmed me down a little.

Just watching the real architect of this( class traitor) Pat McFadden walking into Parliament. No empathy, reptile like intent. Paisley poor boy, Irish Heritage before being born in Scotland. Dom Cummings in a tartan scarf. He must be self- loathing or something. I hope he comes a cropper like Cummings did. This is all an experiment for them though.. they’ve all( especially Reeves)got their off ramps worked out in consultancies to Europe and America. Starmer taking a backseat.. just in case he’s dirtied by any backlash. What a bunch of wrong’uns!
