    How do we email the DWP about this pip survey, I want to stress my oppostition to both their refroms and this illegal survey? How dare they ask how we spend our pip money, they won't be satified until we're all in early grave, i'm soooo angry with them but it does give me another chance to write to them, if only to let them know how vile and cruel they all are!!

    Hi @Catherine21 😊

    I loved what you said about about getting £10 for filling in the DWP Survey! 🙄

    I saw that you were frustrated in another post of yours that the MPs voting process for these cuts was so unfair.

    There has just been some more encouraging news for that vote. The government is trying to avoid a damaging rebellion of MPs as so many are unhappy about the proposals.

    It means that they might allow them to abstain from voting instead which means that these MPs won't be penalised and an abstention vote does count.

    That means that at least there will be less votes in favour of the cuts but the main thing that is good for us about it is that Labour are losing their party unity over these cuts which could undermine the government.

    A warning, an MP trys to pour cold water on these developments at the end of the article. Just because he says that he hasn't heard of any objections from other MPs, doesn't mean that it isn't happening!

    Same here. My new MP is already a PUS and has not responded. Neither have other members of both Houses, all of who claim to have a special interest in the welfare of disabled people.

    The survey is bring to mind last year's Green Paper in that there appears to be a shift towards our very diverse needs being "met" in any which way but direct payments.

    @Catherine21 I prepaid my funeral and set down my exact wishes because I don't have family to deal with it. I would have done the same were I a non-disabled billionaire 🤣

    They seem to get some psycotic buzz out of making our lives utterly unbearable, it's something new every week with vile comments, sly digs, propaganda in the media. I think it's bordering on criminal encouraging hatred towards us, that's why i'm really angry. So i'm writing letters, emails etc expressing my disgust at the government, certain mp's, the media,and the repulsive DWP. It's enough to turn folk to drink (not that I drink) nor would i obviously condone it!!

    All seems to going a bit quiet on the resistance front? Has anyone heard anything about anyone challenging the Gov on the changes. I have been trying to stay away from media as I am finding it to much and really struggling with it all. 😪

    This is scandalous by Rachel Reeves. I'm apoplectic with rage at this so called Labour Government. 😠

    Nye Bevin will be turning over in his grave 😲

    None of this is a surprise.

    When Labour were last in power, they were pro child support and anti ill health support, and its looking like it might be the same thing again, now I dont condone child poverty so want to make that clear. But the changes are looking more and more ideological with every passing month. I think whilst Reeve is a bit of a nut case on her own feelings regarding benefits and taxation, this is also a big pet project for Liz Kendall who has been tweeting nonsense about these reforms since "before" the election.

    One thing in particular that wants to make me vomit about claims of "severely disabled" being protected, the most vulnerable being protected, as if they trying to claim people who need adaptations to do basic daily tasks are not severely disabled. Its a constant PR exercise trying to tell the uninformed the public that the only people losing support are people with minor conditions.
