Green Paper Discussion (from 24th March, 2025)

I get ttlhat, but according to Gemini AI it is possible under certain circumstances. I also understand they are not even consulting on the changes to the WCA and not sure about the pip changes (some reports state they are and others state they arent)

Yes there's time. They can't ram this bill through in a matter of days. The gov themselves have announced a consultation process that runs until the end of June before anything else happens in regards to steps in the process. And there are loads more steps ahead once we're beyond June.

Hope this is OK, copy pasted conclusion from AI, about the role of ECHR and the potential consequences for uk law

In Conclusion:

Yes, an ECtHR judgment finding that a new UK law violates the European Convention on Human Rights can indeed lead to the law being overturned or amended. It exerts significant legal and political pressure on the UK government to take action to ensure compliance with its international human rights obligations. The Human Rights Act 1998 further strengthens the impact of these judgments within the UK legal system.

Well....again , we've heard the same rhetoric......it's all about 'working people', and getting ('forcing') disabled and vulnerable people into 'work'.

I must say she has 'blundered' her way through this statement...stuttering and stammering, because she knows she's completely inept and incompetent,

Special thanks though to Rachel Maskell , Labour MP ,who just 'spoke up for us'.

Overall, it is estimated that in 2029/30 there will be 3.2 million families – some current recipients and some future recipients - who will financially lose as a result of this package, with an average loss of £1,720 per year compared to inflation. There are also estimated to be 3.8 million families - some current recipients and some future recipients - who will financially gain from this package, with an average gain of £420 per year compared to inflation

according to the impact assessment

it was online on the benefits and work website. I don’t know how to copy and paste but it basically said they’re putting it to the vote to try and get past the courts. But if you read my reply from mawempathy above and William they both state the echr does have power if it’s against our legal rights. Sorry to worry you Catherine x

Reeves just said "just because people are disabled doesn't mean they can't work", this was in rely to the Labour mp from Bradford who challenged her about the harm of 'cuts' to the most vulnerable.

you fail to mention the creation of the unemployment insurance, which will substitute ESA CB. Which means that those receiving it will lose £5000 a year plus lose their NI contributions towards a future pension

im confused as how did the DWP came up with those figures!!!

If you lose your PIP daily living allowance, as it stands in hats nearly £73 a week. You’ll also lose your health element in UC which is about £95 a week I think.

That’s like losing £9000 a year!!!

That’s not £1700. ****

it was just the benefits and work website. No interviews or anything. I don’t know how to post it here for you as I’m not that good at that but you can read it on their website. It sent me into a panic but mawempathy explained things and it put my mind at rest . I don’t know if you saw my earlier post about the justice journals latest video regarding ASD. Apparently she helped someone with autism who was found cured by the DWP! The woman who does the channel worked for the dwp and took them to court .
