Green Paper Discussion - includes accessible formats and consultation event sign up links!

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.

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. 😪

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.

Correction (as per our previous discussions):

Under the new proposal, LCWRA will be abolished along with the Work Capability Assessment (WCA).There will be no WCA , therefore no LCWRA. It will be replaced by the Universal Credit Health Element, which will be linked to the stricter PIP daily living criteria (scoring at least 4 points).

@Passerby

Totally agree – This Labour government is evil.The impact of these proposals are devastating. It feels like they’re creating real hardship for disabled people and descending hell on earth . Labour may think they’ve silenced our voices, but we can and must keep pushing back.

Please check out our previous discussions. One direct way to oppose the proposals is by emailing your personal impact stories (see earlier posts for a strategic template to help you write your own) to:Consultation.pathwaystowork@dwp.gov.uk

(Be sure to do this before the consultation ends.)

Or else they will try to push these proposals through by claiming that disabled people did not respond.

We need to show them that disabled voices will not be silenced – and that we have power. Keep going: sign petitions, support campaigns, share your personal stories with DPOs, councillors, ministers, and MPs(even if they don’t reply)– and use social media to amplify your voice.

Don’t give up. There’s still so much hope.

I believe it will be abolished 2028/9 , i retire in 2031, so would have to save now for that gap in between retirement ,the basic state pension hubby retires a year before me so goodness what they will torture us with as his pension will clash with other benefits .
