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.

That’s such an ‘I’m alright Jack ‘ comment, Dave? Read it back. There are people on this forum who are going to lose half their income.. I’m glad you’re okay but you’ve no way of knowing that you’ll still be on LCWRA until 2030? Bit of empathy might help…

Again you're welcome. 😊
I've sent them a donation before now but they don't reply. Presumably to save time and money which is understandable for a charity. To be on the mailing list you will need to go to the top right hand corner of the Home page There you will see a box saying Enter your email. Do that and press the button underneath that says Subscribe. You will soon get the DPAC's newsletter to tell you about the latest news, campaigns etc in your inbox. 👍

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?

@Maggie37 I love how Sarwar is talking like he'll be next FM.
Starmer's own ambitions appear to have successfully wrecked those of so many Labour politicians/wannabe Labour politicians.
Sarwar's delusion, and Starmer's cutthroat selfish ambition, are two of very few things keeping me entertained in the current climate!

I read only 7 mps are going to vote against the cuts. The rest have been threatened by starmer not to vote against the cuts or else.

PIP, Now ADP in Scotland is already devolved. We can have the lot devolved, but that might not help if the Barnett Block Grant is reduced.

Would that be the millionaire Anas Sarwar MSP? He's got some neck supporting his master's policies on Social Security.

Sustainability expert and professor Mike Berners-Lee:
“If somebody deliberately misleads the public, it tells the public immediately, that they are not on their side”
Starmer, Kendall and Reeves, DWP and OBR misleading regarding these changes and impacts, just tells you that NONE of them are on our side.
And everyone else in the cabinet that are aware of these lies who arent challenging these lies aren’t on our side.

Yes I know. I sawKendall threatening that during her speech but was minor point as far as I saw it. There is NO way they can bypass major policy change in Scotland. They’d crash the economy. I think Flynn’s move is leadership bid for Scottish Parliament. I also don’t think Nicola is finished.. despite her assurances.

I think he’s done. Starmers policies don’t sit well with Scottish culture which is essentially Scandinavian in political bent. I hope Stephen Flynn bests him eventually.
