OK is this the new criteria does that mean existing claimants be reassessed by ub50 form I think that's what call it I mean will the form be the same so what thier saying is after two years you should be better I understand that I know I can't o

Oh OK I'm confused I thought if on substantial risk on esa would need need assessment as substantial risk diffrent on uc ? Oh if they haven't taken it that's brilliant so confusing unforgivable what they are doing to us all unforgivable

At the top of the home page, click Join. I know you've already joined but, as you will see under Yearly Subs they ask you to pay a £2.00 (for unwaged) subscription annually. They then ask you to press the Donate button on the right to pay it.

I hope that will help you. 👍

No they don't - the only address available is their MP address

I have asked my Lib Dem MP to forward my email on to them !

as far as i know they have not took the substantial risk away honestly these reforms are not that bad imo i was thinking they we're going to be FAAAAAAAAR worse the only thing that i am going to be effected by is i wont get a rise every year on LCWRA group till 2030? the welfare system NEEDS to be reformed and this is probs the best possible reform we could hope for

I don't deny anything. I accept that in any system there will be cheats, it's human nature.

However, what you said is there are over diagnoses in certain circumstances. Who do you believe is involved in this? Medics? DWP Assessors?

You said in certain circumstances, this over diagnosis occurs, as did I regarding previous under diagnosis.

So, I'd start with previous under diagnosis of, say, Autism or Dyslexia. It's clear, to me at least, and there were children in my classes at school who were let down as no one looked beyond their "lack of intelligence" or "weirdness".

Or my father in law suffering years of undiagnosed agony/fatigue from what would now most likely be recognised as Fibromyalga or CPS and treated accordingly.

Care to share which diagnoses you've decided are over diagnosed by scammers and/or nscrupulous medics?

I'm genuinely interested in which conditions and which medics you believe are involved in this. Not least to see if you have some useful research or insight to back up your assertion of over diagnosis which, I believe, is very different to an individual scamming the system.

To repeat, I am genuinely interested to hear what conditions and also the evidence, research, experience or unique insight that supports your assertion.

@jul1aorways Thanks for letting me know that. I've just done it and now will get emails. Just confirmed my email. 👍️

Just what might seem a minor point but could be a tipping point( for the wholeUK actually?)Steven Flynn who is the Westminster SNP leader is planner to leave London and rejoin the Scottish Parliament. He is a very vocal opposing voice to the Benefit cuts. Flynn is undoubtedly a candidate for leadership of the Scottish Parliament. This will happen in the next two years. I’m not an anti unionist but I do believe in SNP policies which are left. Scotland contributes 4/5 times to the national GDP than Wales, twice as much as Northern Ireland.. it’s pretty much next to London? A Scotland who completely opposes these Benefit Reforms is very likely IMO. Starmer will not alienate the Scottish Parliament because given his defence moves.. all the UK’s nuclear deterrent is in Scotland. The King is part Scottish.. all the oil is here. I pray that we set up at rival disability system that challenges the UK whole. We already have ADP rather than PIP. The assessment is different. I’ve been assessed on both systems.. very different. Will they risk an alternative in a year or two under Steven Flynn? I don’t see it.. so many variables, so much hassle. Wales won’t even send the changes to it’s disabled constituents? They disagree with it so fiercely?
