Sophy Ridge, Sky News has just twitted this.
'50,000 children will be pushed into poverty as a result of the changes to welfare - and a total of 250,000 peopleThat's according to the Gvt's own impact assessment.'
Several Labour MPs already expressing their disquiet.

I think those figures are manipulated. The number would be much higher.
The loss of income figure was manipulated excessively

@pinkrose "Well....again , we've heard the same rhetoric......it's all about 'working people', and getting ('forcing') disabled and vulnerable people into 'work".
Unfortunately this applies to the over 60s as well who may have worked 30, 40, 50 years already and now cannot due to ongoing and additional age related health issues . Yet they keep putting state pension age up, and for women of a certain age who started work in the mid 1970s (on much lower wages than men) we have had 7 extra years (come 2026 when it goes up to 67) added which is completely unfair. We are kept stuck in this system and processes and forced to work, job search, go on pointless courses, retraining etc . Many of us will never work again because we are unable too. If we do work we certainly wont work full time or earn enough whereby we continue to pay tax.

Will any of this actually stand up legally? I mean where is the line between reforming and discrimination? Labour have to adhere to their own Equalities Act 2010 do they not?

Wishing Your mum all the best Danny. Take care. Xxx

Yes, they’ve conveniently neglected to mention anything about CA. I doubt many people outside of those in receipt of PIP or AA will know how that world be impacted at the loss of them. That means the financial loss will be far worse than they’re suggesting.
I couldn’t watch it all, but we’re not any clearer what’s happening to those on CB ESA(old style) Support Group are we?
1 -
How will the UC basic raise work with ESA? will everyone get that extra £28? because if the LCWRA is frozen does that mean no one in that group will see a raise over all as the deductions kick in?

The Resolution Foundation:
“They argue that the chancellor did not need to concentrate the pain on welface cuts. Extending the freeze in personal tax thresholds by just a single year would have saved almost as much (£3.9bn in 2029-30) and would have been shared far more widely across 24 million households, they say”.
That would have been the sensible thing to do. Giving you ample time to liase with charities etc regarding changing the welfare system and make sensible reforms.
Maybe, she’ll do that (extend the freeze on personal tax threshold) in the Autumn budget as her headroom will vanish again.

"So, if PIP is stopped and you are not in work, then you sign on. You can't then cope with interviews because there is no or little support or understanding. So then you go to your doctor and get a sick note that then stops any interviews and visits to the job centre. You then become more depressed, so you reapply for PIP and score 4 points in one question that states you now need extra support to face things." So really these changes will make everyone more sick or am I wrong.

Let's hope it takes a few years before it becomes law and by that time it nearly be Election time and to not face adding 1 million rejected pip persons to the jobless total before a election they rethink the whole thing. I am so happy the prime minister mum did not have to go through all this stress during her disability years. Also the deputy prime Minister family who received benefits for over 50 years are now also not going through all this. This brings me so much peace..
