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

There was a demonstration outside her offices and town hall last week so I think she’s for the cuts. I can’t remember exactly but she said something nasty about someone who flew the British flag a few years ago. She’s not popular. But I don’t know much about her . I’ll let you know if I hear back though I’m not expecting to .

Another comment on B and W forum was that the Green Paper will be challenged and that was always going to be the first port of call for action.

Labour know this and that's why they've kept the 4 Point PIP rule and Universal Credit changes away from consultation.

Yes, thanks, do let me know what she says. She sounded alright but it says a lot if she isn't generally popular, especially if it's about her supporting the cuts.

I'm still waiting for the knight of the realm to get back to me. I'll be lucky if I get a two line reply dismissing me, which is his usual style but I'll let you know what he says, IF I get a reply.

really ? Are they that good . I hope so . It’s hard to believe they’re allowed in law to discriminate against us like this . No risk assessment until after the vote , wow how is that being challenged. I’m sure ECHR has laws to protect us . Imagine any other group being treated like this , starved and left destitute

Who’s that?

@pinkrose I know how you feel. I have just sent my re-assessment in , it will be based on the old rules , and remember that this is going to be challenged . I honestly cannot see them getting away with this . Lets keep positive and I know that is hard because I am in the same boat as you .

My house needs serious repairs and I am waiting to see if I can get a grant , I don't know what the outcome will be about my PIP , but hoping its rewarded again both enhanced as I put lots of proof in about my conditions .

I don't know whether I'm coming or going lol , waiting for pip , accepting the grant if they offer it ,(it will be paid off in ten years if I don't sell so in effect its free), but my dilemma is also that my mortgage is with a vulture fund who charge 9.05% interest , my mortgage is interest only and has 10 years 7 months left on it , but I must get the house repaired as it is unhealthy and the occupational therapist put this down on the report which I sent to pip , so fingers crossed i do get enhanced , and i am praying for at least one receptor with 4 points . This is cruel what they are doing , but I do believe it will be challenged .

I am sorry you are upset and crying , please don't cry , we might be all sat here for months on end worrying sick and then it could be thrown out , and we wasted our lives on their evil plot . So please try to think positive it really will help . x

You are kind too , and thank you. We are all struggling so much with various problems , but here we can share and lift each other up , I hope you are feeling better I hate to hear people so upset we shouldn't be x

No I mean I have stopped worrying about all of the changes to be honest. If I lose my pip and uc health element after migration, then I am ok to just wither away at home alone. Theres no way I could jump through the hoops of the job centre and looking for work and I have no partner or children so wouldn't be missed by many. Sad I know, but I've accepted my fate and in one way it will be a relief. I won't stop fighting for others though as I know other people will be worried sick so I will do all I can to make our voices heard.

Morning everyone,

Damning report from Amnesty International in the Mirror today regarding the welfare system.
On a brighter note as I needed a laugh Angela Rayner just came 4th in most beautiful women in the country ( daily express) , though it was polled by something called illicit encounters 😂.
