They will continue to pay it as it is until your next review, so you’d still get the rate you’re on until at least 2029 (and obviously longer if you’re reawarded)

Could this actually bring the government down ?
I think that yes it could - however, who would replace it ?
A LIB/TORY coalition would appear to be the best bet at the moment but would depend on votes.

There's nothing to stop anyone from emailing any MP's
but to get an answer about constitutional stuff - you need to be in their constituency

I have esa, not the contribution based one and pip that I won at appeal with 10 pts for daily living, going to unfamiliar places and a few 2`s. I'm unsure if I'm lcwra. I just want to know what means for me as I find it very confusing.

Reeves wants to take away your PIP - Unless you have at least a 4 in any category - she doesn't believe that you are entitled to any PIP

So if someone wanted to email say the Education Secretary regarding policies without being in their constituency, they could? As long as it's not about their actual area. An example would be in my area, people have been going around throwing red paint over people's houses (don't know why, stupidity maybe) then that'd be to the local MP because it's about the area. But if someone were to email about policies that the Education Secretary set out then they could directly email that MP?

I feel I've done all that I can. This is all going to be played out over the next number of months in the MSM/Social Media/Newspapers. I've emailed MP's, responded to the Green Paper, signed petitions. What more can we do? I'm going to try and take a step back from it all to protect my MH.

I feel the same, somewhat feel at a loss at what more I could do, if anything

But they are getting away with it. Nobody can stop them.

If you google their name - you may be able to find another email address to contact them on
Reeves for example is on CEU.Enquiries@hmtreasury.gov.uk as she works for the treasury
If you try their normal email address (name.mp@parliament.uk) - they may well ignore you

Biggest issue is the main opposition, Conservatives and Reform's only complaints is that the cuts don't go further, they want to cut 12bn from welfare. Jeremy Hunt who would have been chancellor had the Conservatives won is saying they should have gone further.
It's worrying times, as there's no realistic option for a party that will gain power that will actually protect the sick and disabled. The best hope is still that Starmer gets booted out, and someone from the left wing of the party gets power, and it doesn't even have to be from the Corbyn wing, as eg. Andy Burnham has voiced against these cuts and wouldn't be seen as the left of the party. Problem is the people in power atm are from the right of the party.

They have another four years to torture us , unless there is a snap election .

About the 4 years, is it just me or are they in power for 5 years (including last year)? I thought GEs were every 4 years unless I'm just misunderstanding everything

In the proposed changes, it'd need to be a 4 in a Daily Living category.
0 -
So basically no matter what what many of us will still lose all our benefits based on the 4 points criteria even if legal battle can happen.
Ty for being honest, but based on this I might as well say I am scr**** and save taxpayer money now by ending life as I will literally lose everything. And before anyone asks NO I do not have family as they have all passed away and my few friends either work hard on low wages or disabled.

That's for mobility rather than "daily living" - daily living is what you need 4's for
