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. 😪

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

Nearly 9 out of 10 set to lose PIP payments after DWP changeshttps://www.express.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/2043297/dwp-PIP-change-standard-rate

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.

It would be very easy to fail assessment for LCWRA via the new 4 point based scoring system. If someone loses their PIP, they would be more likely to also lose their LCWRA. What is not known yet, by the way, is whether people who score the mandatory damn 4 points for the daily living component in PIP would automatically get LCWRA, which would be by then called, I think, "Health element".
This proposal is evil undiluted.

Of course, we can. Reading is up to them.

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).1 -
The Tories' proposal of last year was preferable, as, apart from their proposal of payment in kind in PIP, including vouchers, they were at least abolishing reassessment of the current claimants on LCWRA, except for a tiny number of cases, and they were not cutting or freezing benefits to anyone. While Labour evil proposal is gradually paving the way for abolition of sickness and disability benefits

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.

Dear Scope Members,
I’d be grateful for your support in helping this important new petition gain momentum:Withdraw the Scrapping of the Work Capability Assessment (WCA) in the Green Paper
The Government must immediately withdraw the Pathways to Work: Reforming Benefits and Support to Get Britain Working Green Paper and conduct a full and meaningful inclusive consultation with disabled people at all stages of any proposal, in accordance with the Gunning Principles.The Green Paper proposes scrapping WCA and replacing PIP as a single health assessment using a stricter 4-point daily living test, without meaningful consultation with disabled people-either during development or now. No clear way exists for them to share views.It’s not an inclusive approach.This breaches the Gunning Principles of consultation . The aim of the proposal seems cost-cutting, not real reform. These changes would have devastating impacts on disabled people, their families, &children.
Please consider signing and sharing to protect vital support for disabled people.
Thank you so much for your solidarity and support✊3
