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

Labours approval ratings have sunk even further,
And Eluned Morgan speaks out further,
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.

Ring the PIP Enquiry Line on 0800 121 4433 preferably at 9am to avoid long delays in getting your call answered. Ask them to send you a copy of your award letter. It will probably take a while as it will be on second class post. I hope that helps you. 😊

It's interesting that this country has been health and safety mad for many years now except when it come to us, then the gloves are off and it's no holds barred.

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

I wondered if you had issues with calling them but didn't want to run the risk of putting you off if I mentioned it. 🙁
I still hope you'll make the call, having your Dad with you is a good idea. Good luck 🤞 🍀

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.2 -
Hi and thanks. Yes I always have my answer phone on as I can't do calls out of the blue also talking on the phone isn't something I'm good at as everything goes out of my mind, the same with anything unfamiliar. Thanks.

@waylander9602, Thanks for sharing. When will actually the Labour government stop blaming everything on the previous government and other parties? It’s almost become a Labour mantra for Starmer, Kendall, Reeves & others whenever reporters or journalists ask any tough questions.

That's standard practice for every government - blame the previous government. It gives them free rein to make more uncomfortable changes with the claimed excuse that they are an improvement over the previous incumbents…

Haaa @Wibbles ,True…. But these lot respond to every question with the same answer… and they’ve trained their disciples (MPs) to follow suit. One thing’s for sure-I can see how much they hate being questioned (honestly, it’s hilarious watching their faces twist up!). And yep, true to form, they’ll still be blaming the last lot even if they’re in power for a decade… at this rate, they’ll be blaming the Romans next! 🤔🤔

He will if the supreme court decide the cuts are unlawful. That would be a day to get flags out and party 🤩

If you still are struggling to email your MP for any reason or worried about not being able to word it in exactly the right way for greatest effect, as I've been doing, here's what I consider a truly excellent template on the Benefits and Work forum. I hope that it might help some of you. 🤞😊
Letter template to MPs about green paper - Benefits and Work Forum
