The Green Paper Discussion (the document link is here too!)

regarding the new Insurance Employment, paragraphs HD 53-54

Anyone with ESA contribution based, if that proposal goes ahead, will lose their entitlement eventually. As well as any NI contributions for their future pension.

So if you are on ESA contributions based I would reply to their green paper pointing that out.

This is what they have plans on

A new contribution-based Unemployment Insurance Benefit

The Green Paper asks views on replacing New Style ESA and New Style JSA with one new Unemployment Insurance benefit. The rate of financial support would be set at the current higher rate of NS ESA. The benefit would not require a health assessment and would be based on an individual’s National Insurance record as is currently the case. Those with long term health conditions, would also be able to claim other relevant benefits where eligible.

Hope this helps 👍️

Hello would love some help to understand about the new UC lcwra and pip changes coming soon I get all 3 and see they taking away lcw and lcwra in the year 2028 how can this affect me as I was given in January 2025 a infinity awarded for my lcwra and under it say about 10 years so what means it gets looked at again in the year 2035 if I'm correct but if it's being scrap in 2028 what well happened to the last 7 years on it?

Also I seen about pip where you have to now get 4 points for the Daly living I got 2 on some of them that add up to 10 points that give me lower end of pip and I got the full 12 points for mobility on just one out of the 2 as the other 1 got nothing and that ends in 2028 sometime I know by then I be in my 40s and my health is bad now I can't handle bits as of now so don't want to even think of what 40 plus me is going to be like but like everyone right now I am concerned and I seen all the people saying that most of the people on pip don't want to work and sit on there back side all day getting as they call it free money and that really irritates me as I work for years to I had a injury at work and then my health as decided over the years along with my mental wellbeing so I did work I can't no longer do it and I hope that that someone that is working making good enough money then losing it all and having no choice but to go on benefits it's a big change like I can't afford what I could when I was working at a full time wage

Any way sorry going of topic there as anyone have any ideas on what to expect going forward any help on this matter would be greatfall

I cannot believe, truly how brutal they are being but also so arrogant its worse than the WFP axe. They cant accept people have different levels of sickness and disability.

I waited 14 years to see the Tories kicked out and replaced by Tories II a straight to streeting sequel, who seems to think shouting his mouth off about everything solves everything.

there are thousands of people just waiting for NHS ops then get back to work, they know this

Nah lets spaff the money on these "reforms" instead.

I also have cervical spondylosis,chiari malformation,amongst other things and my husband washes my hair and my back etc I still only ever get 2 points

Thanks so much loucie. Xx

but this measure is up for consultation and I hope it can be legally appealed. So 🤞🏻

I'm not sure. We need clarification on this.

Chiari malformation is one of the investigations theyre looking into for myself. Also, have

spondylosis+ c5-6-7 spinal stenosis.

Im not sure how low my cerebellum tonsils drop; from the MRI's ,it doesn't look as jammed down into the spinal column as some other folks, but nonetheless!

I'm convinced it's what's affecting my vision: bright zipping lights and flashes that are peripheral. Although i have this one zipper, like a grain of rice-coloured electric blue lol that comes in from outfield to quick centre then off again😂.. seems to have a darker centre!

Had my eyes checked extensively, twice; and got the all-clear for the eyeballs, so!..😎..

I had read the cerebellum tonsils is where vision is linked?🤷

I think I heard is mentioned that assessors will be more skilled.

Even if this is the case; many GPS are'nt necessarily adept at times.

I have a long convo with a lovely lady from CA who i detected,,as we proceeded to chat; had far more general knowledge of my co-morbid's and symptoms; than many assessors and some gps!

I had to ask her if she had a medical degree. She mentioned that she had worked in the "field"(she didn't stipulate) in the past. In 7+yrs of interviews, she was hands down the most knowledgeable person I had chatted to concerning my issues. Whereas the assessor who came to my home 6+yrs ago, who was an ex-paramedic; had no general clue concerning my specific ailments.

So what skills will these new or retrained assessors, have?. They've often given me zeroes, where corroborating evidence was given by an entire team of specialists, that should have given me close to maximum points.
