I will keep appealing and go to court until I get 4 points if it goes through

hi ,
Mines up next February so I’m expecting my form any time now. Last time my advisor advised me badly . This time I will fight for the 4 points and I expect this will be DLA-PIP all over again with the dwp having to train more tribunal staff quickly. I doubt they’ll even save money

I emailed DPAC and a lot of disability charities last night and attached what was posted on the Benefit and Works site making them aware of it. I'm starting to feel despondent. By the sounds of it the government is not for backing down.

They don't seem to keeping anyone informed in what action they are taking. Are they talking to any mps on our behalf? They do have more push than us. Maybe they don't want to upset their buddies 🤔

I saw this post on the Work and Pensions Committee on X yesterday. This is all that we are worth. 'A short inquiry'.
Watch live as we begin our short inquiry into the impact of the Government’s proposals to reform the disability and health related benefits system.

it’s unbelievable how we are being deserted . Where are the unions? Constant marches and protests defending each other yet none protesting for us . Any other group being treated like this would be stopped by now . Starmer actually took Blair’s government to court to fight for benefits for asylum seekers and won as everyone is entitled to food and shelter. What a hypocrite starmer is as he’s suddenly against welfare for the disabled and elderly. And it seems we are deserving of food and shelter. That’s how I’m feeling today after reading that from B and W .

just to cover starmer to make it look transparent. How can it be legal in law to bring these reforms in before the impact assessment

Surely when they see the collateral damage this will all cause, the poverty, people on the streets losing their homes, NHS overload costing government more money there will be people marching in the streets, civil unrest and anarchy. There has to be legal challenges as it's a crime against the disabled. I'd expect this in a dictatorship third world country but not here.

I really don't know what the outcome of all these proposals is going to be. We just have to keep on fighting the good fight.

I used to live nearby the scope offices and remember a demonstration outside years ago . Disabled people demonstrating against scope . I’ll probably get in trouble on here for saying it but it’s true .

Correct.

I got zero face to face . Two years of fighting to upper tier . Even tribunal lied . It broke me and I’ve never fully recovered. Now I’m in the same situation again. I can’t believe it . I’m just hoping the House of Lords gets this watered down or drawn out long enough for the OBR to announce the impacts

I think our only hope is this gets drawn out with the House of Lords ping pong . At least that way they would have the OBR assessment released and they’d have to defend the amount of poverty they’ll be causing

I just signed the petition "Scrap dangerous disability benefit reforms" and wanted to ask if you could add your name too.
This campaign means a lot to me and the more support we can get behind it, the better chance we have of succeeding. You can read more and sign the petition Here:
Thank you!

I ask myself 'Is there anyone out there who is on our side?' It'll be interesting to see how Labour will do in the council elections next week.

I think Trump has put Starmer in his place , just waiting to see it all pan out .

all 3 main party’s against us . Unbelievable. I’m really hoping Labour back benchers realise that they will be voted out unless they get rid of Starmer and reeves / Kendall. They may not care about us but they’ve waited 14 years to get into power, they must know they’re finished with starmer

A letter from your GP is key supporting evidence. An assessment is supposed to consider all supporting evidence. Yes. They can contact your GP should they have further questions.
