    I panicked reading one comment saying people on LCWRA could be moved to LCW….Iv'e been assessed as can't work

    Until 2015, LCW also meant can't work!

    Both groups in ESA were for claimants judged by (non-medically trained) DWP decision-makers to have a Limited Capacity for Work. Thousands of sick and disabled people were unlawfully placed into WRAG or found 'fit-for-work' in the first national reassessment programme of 2011-2014 leading to a similar backlog of appeals that we see now.

    From 2017, the support component of LCW was removed for new claims/claimants under the Welfare Reform and WORK Act 2016. LCWRA recipients were led to believe they deserved the extra component and failed to grasp the intent behind those welfare reforms.

    😔

    There is a lot of speculating going on out there, I have read comments like PIP is shutting down, LCWRA to LCW, and more, those I think are panic posts. I treated the ITV leak as credible, especially when Keir reacted to it pretty much confirming its accurate, but otherwise I only accept anything if its straight from a minister.

    A whistle blower leaked it to the press.

    Hi Scope Support team,

    With regards to Scope's notice "cost of cuts" what a excellent message you have written. This HORRIBLE LABOUR GOVERNMENT has NO thoughts on the UK Disabled people who will be deeply effected by these CRUEL Disability benefits which I believe are::

    Personal Independence Payment.

    Universal Credit HEALTH.

    I very much believe that this CRUEL LABOUR GOVERNMENT have gone to far now has disabled people of Britain we should NOT VOTE the LABOUR GOVERNMENT in office no more that will show the Prime Minister STARMER and his Chancellor REEVES and DWP Secretary. KENDEL that CUTS to the Welfare state will cause more harm than good to people including disabled people who need this kind of support from DWP to have a decent life I'm very very sure you will all agree with me when I say STOP THESE CRUEL CUTS STOP THE LABOUR GOVERNMENT HITTING THE POOREST IN BRITAIN. It is very difficult to obtain work for an abled bodied person so it will be twice has difficult for us disabled people to get work.

    I strongly advise the DWP SECRETARY KENDAL TO RIP UP THIS GREEN PAPER ON PATHWAY TO WORK as it's pointless.

    Thank goodness my family and I DIDN'T VOTE the LABOUR party in the General election one final word.

    DON'T DESTROY THE MUCH NEEDED WELFARE STATE.

    Best wishes to you all.

    Kenny B. X
