morning everyone,
I just received an email from benefits and work regarding legal advice they’ve taken about the reforms including 4 point rules. They’ve been advised that legally there’s nothing that can be done to prevent it going ahead . Not sure this is so but if anyone can link the post please do

I think we must just prepare ourselves to lose. Nothing can be done. Writing is on the wall sadly.

it never ends does it ? What about the ECHR ? It feels like everyone has rights apart from disabled people.

I just received an email from benefits and work saying they’ve taken legal advice and there’s nothing that can be won in court . I don’t know how to post the link but it’s interesting you mentioned them

this is bad news but I can’t see how we aren’t covered by the equality act in law regarding this

I also posted about this earlier. They’ve frightened the life out of me as I don’t think the government will vote this down.

My Tory MP is the same.
He would rather have people blown up in another country than allow disabled people in his own country, a future with dignity and enough money to live on and for the cost of our disabilities.
Either way he is Evil Incarnate 😡

morning MW,
I just read from benefits and work that they’ve taken legal advice and the welfare changes cannot be challenged in court apparently. Surely this can’t be true ?

he didn’t say he just answered saying that he’s thinking about transitional protection for peeple who lose

one labour mp asked about people who can’t communicate would they have to look for work ? And that’s when he said about seriously thinking about transitional protection if they lose out on pip

I received it via email this morning. Lovely wake up call. I have read others claiming it’s rubbish and I hope so . I’ve written to my MP Jeremy Corbyn to ask if it’s true . I will post on here if I get a reply . I’m sure he’s inundated about this situation

Scope seem very quite.

I thought exactly the same thing. I’ve asked a few times on here for scope to clarify and been ignored.

Hello @secretsquirrel1. Sorry I'm unable to find it, what have you asked for Scope to clarify? I can hopefully forward on the request for you. 🙂

the 4 points is unworkable for us. I’m on highest care pip and don’t receive a 4 points due to assessors not awarding them . I have ME and fibromyalgia among other conditions. I’m literally in bed 95% of my time. My body is like jelly , no energy and in constant pain. How can I no longer be classed as disabled after being diagnosed many years ago . And now made to look for work . Having a conversation on the phone tires me out . It’s ridiculous
