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

are you getting contribution based ESA support group?

Shout out to Neil Findlay Scottish Labour MP after sterling work for the poor, (a decade.). leaves the Labour Party because he cannot stomach the cuts. Liz Kendall made a veiled threat to Scotland at the beginning of her speech.. ‘she said if changes want to be made in Scotland they’ll have to find it from their own budget’ That was silly and ignores the bigger picture.. if Starmer want’s more nuclear warheads at Faslane given his Churchill pretensions… he’d better not rile up the Scots. This is exactly the kind of issue, mistreatment of the disabled/ imposing nuclear warheads that sparks talk of a referendum.

Just finished the UC-claim review!

She seemed ok-ish lol Quiet assassin maybe; very soft spoken and obviously its her job and theres a script to follow. There was zero small talk lol

She asked me concerning some payments under "**TFR**".. i draw a blank 😂… had to google that acronym to realise it means 'Transfer' 👍 ..

Once that was confirmed, she then asked about my rent and the name change of the company and that-was-that!.

2 mins ago I received her note in my journal:

Your Universal Credit Claim Review is now complete.Following our interview, and the information you provided, we can confirm there is no change to your Universal Credit.

i would think the at this stage reply says it all not the same as no the descriptors will not change in the future

I totally agree secretsquirrel , there will be a lot of MPs that are against this passionately so, but they know if they go against this or speak out , they will lose their jobs... and as you say , the gravy train stops, sad that MPs don't have a moral compass or backbone anymore

Yes I have the same C5/6 C6/7

The chiari journey started last year and has been a difficult one im still having various tests . My tonsils are 4mm but it doesn't matter how low they are tbh the symptoms can be severe at just 4mm like mine. I honestly thought I had a brain tumour and wasn't taken seriously atall. Just had second MRI and they are now also saying intercranial hypertension 🤷🏻‍♀️. Yes the chiari does affect vision aswell as a whole host of other things ,I get numb toes ,tingling , dizziness , tiredness , vision changes , not to mention a pain in my head like a train has hit me .you also get neck pain which coupled with spondylosis is a horror too. one thing I will advise is don't give up on getting a diagnosis,if you feel something isn't right or they try and play something down that is concerning you seek a second opinion. I changed hospital as I wasn't happy with first

How bloody dare they! I’m going to raise this point later but just to say IT REALLY MATTERS WHO YOU GET.. in terms of any assessment, checking UC or PIP check their demeanour/ how they speak to you? -also GP/ Health Professionals. Some people are empathetic and on side, others hard wired to catch out others. They become part of the work culture they are experiencing. At times that’s great, other times a detriment to the disabled.

I personally record everything and tell them that. My GP surgery very mixed. Head of practise arch Tory plus practice nurse who is a fascist, husband is a reform party member. She tends to sit on referrals? I always ask to see my long term doctor.. plus keep and back up everything. All communication re health and from DWP. It’s sad to be so untrusting but I’ve learned through experience.

IIf at least one of the activities under duly living scored 4 points then when you are due a reassessment you will continue to receive dailing living pip. Mobility isn't affected. If your condition was considered severe enough you may not even need a review for a long time and nothing will change without a review anyway as far as I understand this .
