Spring Statement Discussion (link to documents here)

It's one of those things that sounds logical and reasonable to people who never had to deal with the DWP 'of course we should reassess substantial risk people after a certain period of time they might have improved!'

Yet those of us with lived experience of these assessments know going through that when you are a risk to yourself if just plain torture and makes us even worse. Honestly it's counter productive because I know for one it would make me even further away from work and more likely to need to have the NHS spend more money on me!

Hi, I can't find when my pip review is due, all I have is my appeal form and its not on that.

I read something about depending on review date matters when Nov 26th arrives, is this true.

II have 10 points for daily living, not being able to go to places that are unfamiliar I.e going to assessment. Help appreciated.

I accidently asked for all my medical records and there is about 500 pages from birth. I will blast them with the lot. I am currently under mental health for mood stabalizer change. I am currently waiting for childhood trauma counselling. Also sent to the gastro department because bipolar meds mucking up my bowels. So I will get graphic about that because forgetting substantial risk I can be signed off there as well.

I havent had the courage to pick the phone up to pip yet..my head keeps telling me that might make a UC review more likely

the Free prescriptions are taken for granted without doubt

Reeves got called out thank god about her "pocket money" comments also

its clear the comms team threw this idea and it totally backfired.

within 48 hrs the head of it resigned.

work is not good for me , I cannot mix with people and I have panic and anxiety attacks around people . It would make me very ill .

It fills me full of fear, opens can of worms. My dad may help me. Thanks

Yep have tried to explain this on here as well, I assume anyone actually preparing a legal challenge will be aware of this as well. The downside of going public too early is of course it would aid the DWP's defense, as it would give them more time.

The same reason Labour told us as late as possible about what they had planned, to reduce our reaction time. I dont believe for one moment they didnt know what they were going to do until March.
