..cont EHRC 2018 (The cumulative impact of tax and welfare reforms)
Improving the transparency of decision-making
We make the following recommendations to HMT:
• In advance of the next Spending Review, HMT should publish a detailed explanation of the process by which it will ensure that the Spending Review process is fully compliant with the PSED.
• HMT should convene an independent advisory group, based on the model of the 2010 Independent Challenge Group, to advise on the equality impact of the next Spending Review. The Independent Challenge Group provided internal advice on the likely impacts of the Spending Review and had both internal and external representation.
• All fiscal events (Budgets and Spending Reviews) should be accompanied by an equality impact assessment (EIA). This should incorporate a CIA of the impact on protected groups, showing how distributional impacts vary across groups. In addition, the EIA should discuss and explain any major disparities in outcomes that adversely impact protected groups.
•HMT should prepare a CIA for each fiscal event, as well as analyse the impact of key individual tax or social security measures.

I'm of the opinion now that we do have a continuous government with a mirage of choice. And my choice of description would be globalist policies, where all but the richest are considered worthy.

I disagree with your conclusions. The state is obliged to take care of the disabled and pensioners. Otherwise, what is it needed for?

I agree but what they have actually done is highlight the horrendous treatment of disabled people by the goverment now checking accounts saying more regular assessments when we asked for the opposite check out jess Robinson define disability song on the last leg don't think Liz kendell be happy 😀

Lol. Your "opinion" is one of the most ableist comments I've ever read on a disability forum. Many disabled people cannot go outside or make their own decisions, including going outside, so they have no choice but to rely on the state. That's not an opinion. That's how disability works.
Or would you prefer disabled people who cannot follow your advice to die? That's the logical conclusion of your "opinion," which is in line witth those supporting those cuts.

The UK never was a democracy to begin with.

Be under no illusions, if they're attacking disable people, then they're attacking everyone without a voice. I'm being realistic here when I say they're coming after everyone including pensioners, mental health and disabled. She mentioned the other day about taxing pensioners. They are not obligated to give you anything, when I claimed my pension, they said I hadn't paid any stamp since I left school, so I asked them who payed my stamp when I was in the air force.
They hung up and called me back an hour later saying I would get a full pension with add on's. But I can't claim AA or Pension credit because I get £5 too much. But in contrast anyone can claim PiP, whether you're rich or poor, nothing makes sense with parliament anymore. But good luck with your fight to keep your money. But if you think they care, then think again, they don't.
You may as well live another world as far as they're concerned.

It's not being discriminating, it's being real. just think logical and you'll see the light. They're after everyone, so tell me about discrimination, I've lost my money and for once I'm happy not being under their control. I get flat pension and that's all, still got all the disabilities but no money. You can't fight these buggers, they change the rules when they're losing.🚷

I’m not sure what points you are trying to make or add by your comments. I’m glad that the outdoors helps you.. for some people that is impossible health wise. I’m glad that you can manage your anxiety.. for some people that it’s like a tiger has entered the room? By your own admission you are not considered disabled so why are you giving negative, frightening feedback to those who are disabled stating they will never be helped??
I’m sorry about your inability to get Pension credit, perhaps you can find a thread on here that will be informative about that but please refrain from scaring those who are disabled about their future, I think at best you have strayed into the wrong thread.
