And it's for those reasons it shouldn't happen ellen clifford doing fund raising maybe to take them on ? I'd have to rent a room even though I'm not allowed to what choice anyway I really can't see thousands on streets I believe something will happen on the legal side as much as labour wants this it's goes against everything The Equality Act but the way they done all this is sick and very sinister but remember there is thousands on pip so that means thousands will fight against this maybe alot going on in background

Yes, but for how long will it remain voluntary? I am worried that all benefits will soon come with mandatory engagement with work coaches attached.

Someone quoted it a few posts up.
Basically it says for fit and healthy a massive clamp down, but for those on health related benefits the only change would be all assessments are face to face and increased intensity. Nothing about descriptors, eligibility changes.

Its just so worrying all this being kept in limbo and naturally assuming the worse.
Fear of the unknown is making me feel extremely despondent.
I try to keep myself busy and focus on other things but yesterday and today I have been stuck home alone because the weather has been horrendous, cold rain and wind and these stupid reforms are playing heavily on my mind.

PasserbyPosts: 145 Empowering2:30PMYes. The DWP's "Connect to Work" program does not require new primary or secondary legislation. The program is being delivered through existing authority of the Secretary of State, which has the legal power to issue grants or fund initiatives under section 2 of the Employment and Training Act 1973."Connect to Work" falls under the DWP's existing responsibilities and operational framework, and thus doesn't need any additional law to be rolled out.Connect to Work is OK, as it's based upon voluntary engagementThe original Pathways to Work was launched in 2008. Then Work Programme. Work Choice and more. Welfare-to-Work ideology since Invalidity Benefit was discontinued continues to this day.
The schemes are voluntary until JCP decides to refer the 'customer' on a mandatory basis. I know because it happened to me and more than once. DWP is a law unto itself.

They don't know whether to treat us like children - pocket money and knowing better than we do what's good for us - or liars and thieves trying to cheat the system.

I honestly believe inmates in prison are treated with more respect and dignity than us.
