Green Paper Discussion (from 24th March, 2025)

yes I thought it was interesting when he said that. It just shows you they’re not happy with Starmer . At the end of the day they’ve said they want £5 billion in cuts which is more than the Tory’s and the judge said it was so much of a cut that is was unlawful. It’s actually unbelievable that they just want to strip pip from a million ppl regardless if they’re disabled or not and attach lcwra to it . So ppl can no longer have a long term condition. I’m just hoping the courts find it all unlawful.

I don’t think they care about getting ppl to work. They could start with the healthy job seekers first . It’s not as though they’ve just tightened the criteria a bit , they’ve literally worked out how many ppl they need to get of pip to save the desired amount. They are truly evil.

I will try to explain this again.

It initially be just PIP as the PIP assessment isnt used for LCW.

Automated repeat WCA is going to resume, it might already have resumed, as long as the WCA is still here then the PIP assessment only affects PIP, the plan is to eventually get rid of WCA, and when that happens there will be no more LCW/LCWRA, a health top up will replace it, the health top up will have no automated exemption from work related activities, its purely a financial support mechanism. When this change happens there will only be the PIP assessment.

The health top up will have two ways to be eligible, either via PIP daily living or if you already have LCWRA before 2026, and you then are awarded LCWRA again from a new WCA after that point. I assume if you are made eligible via the second way, then you keep it perpetually without assessments until the next reform or claim closed, a kind of grand fathering.

Its more lies really, if it was just about improving work access, they can do that without eligibility and cash cuts. Likewise the more recent interviews have claimed those who cant work will stay protected, clearly requiring 4 points to be eligible for PIP (which will later be a requirement for the health topup also) makes that a lie.

So there's not enough well paid jobs in the country hiring, many on UC to top up wages. As well as many looking for jobs.

A policy to force those of us on some form of disability benefit to join the queue of those seeking work. Where are these jobs coming from? And who are these employers who will take on people with disabilities?

I have worked several times, and each time, my mental health would crash because I was always on edge, made me suicidal, so I ended up on ESA and PIP.

Could I work from home? Absolutely, but there's no one hiring, I want to get out of the nightmare of constantly having to justify my disability.

But you know, it's okay for MPs to get free things, and a pay rise.

For the few, not the many.

Maybe they will lose their seats, but with their fat contacts book, and ex member's pass, they will be welcomed with open arms by the private sector.

I always worked with people who seemed pleasent, and nice, but the wiring in my head tells me they are all lying, and judging, which makes working with people difficult.

Working from home would be ideal for me, but there's an obsession with getting people into offices, which I just can't do.

I was on legacy ESA, and got migrated to UC, which was a smooth process for me. The issue with legacy ESA is that we got ignored for the £20 uplift during COVID I think it was.

@idk ,Sounds like your wiring in your head is 100% spot on✅

Best Wishes!
