    I’m so sick of journalists sucking up to these frontbenchers and not properly grilling them over this. The BBC is just trash nowadays, supporting democide and happily pushing ableism.

    Where is Angela Rayner in all of this?

    She was a carer to her mum (who has bipolar) from the age of 10 onwards, and lived in poverty for quite some time.

    Out of everyone, you’d think she would understand.

    Maybe she’s afraid it will cause conflict with starmer/reeves/kendall — but disabled people are afraid for our LIVES.

    The BBC hides the disability tab somewhere in the menu bar behind important things involving celebrities.

    Articles about disability go there, usually, to die.

    The OBR could go to hell, as it's the one that has pushed R. Reeves to keep cutting benefits.

    I suggest that you get things clear to yourself first before trying to explain them to others. You're mixing and making up stuff.

    How can they get away with it all holding these meeting and controlling the questions which are mainly about getting people to work so if you get no pip you get no health benefits I prey that people are taking them to court because tories will help them pass this

    No these aids help with your husbands assistance so if you use stair life does your husband have to assist you and when at top assist you again and with a bath hoist correct me if I'm wrong your husband would definitely need to help with that putting you in bath and operation the hoist getting you in and out so if these aids are to help you and your carer with daily living tasks that maybe you can't use yourself without assistance?

    just watched Kendall at this 40million launch in West London. Apparently she knows that over 1million disabled people can and want to work, she said she has spoken to so many of us and wants to help us, she also said that she still thinks we are taking the Micky and fraud is rife.

    Yes she took dwp to court I think it's her tone and makes my hearth jump no I can't listen it's like if you claim PIP you better pay attention to this

    morning Catherine,

    I expected her to know what she’s talking about being ex dwp etc. but I’m more confused now. She mentioned another site you can join ( obviously for a fee) to get advice and help with claims so I think this is her business rather than just helping people.

    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. 🤞😊

    Good Luck!! 🍀 👍

    morning Sarah,

    It was the justice journals. She’s ex dwp and took them to court . Her last two videos have confused me regarding the 4 points rule . And ppl in her comments said the same thing . She reckons the 4 point rule was just for calling lcwra and in the last couple of days they’ve extended it to pip. I thought it was always for pip and health element then added . I think she charges ppl for her help as she mentions joining up and she takes on your case .
