This is why we need to let the system hang them selves.
This is broad terms….
Lets put this into context: We are registered as disabled and get paid a benefit at what ever rate. Raynor wants us back into work by assessing us to do some sort of work, not necessarily what you used to do before you became disabled.
Then were is the Job Centre and the champions they have of being able to get us back into work? OH that's right they sacked them all when they decided to save money and close 800 job centers around the country.
Since you have been disabled how many times have you been called in to renew your CV inline with the disabilities that you "now have?"
You just cannot go and look for a job or you don't get benefits, which is called a sanction, you have to make sure that any appointments that "you" need to see a G P or Physiotherepist or any other Trained Medical Advisor comes first other wise you could find your self a job on a checkouty some where part time, but the employer needs to kinow what disabilities you have to make any adaptions.
So if you said nothing and colapsed in work, do you then state I was forced back to work because it was good for me by the job center or lose any other benefits and need to see where the duty of care would lye?

there aren’t any adaptations they could make for me . There’s no cure or treatment for ME/CFS . It’s like saying your car won’t drive as you’ve run out of petrol and Starmer saying don’t worry it’ll run fine if we change the wheels.

There are no adaptions they could make for me.
I had to take early ill health retirement because all 'reasonable adjustments had been tried and failed and it was agreed that I cannot do any kind of work'.

I'm 61 this year , just got a text saying they received pip reassessment , I need a long term award , my conditions will not improve , my hearing loss is classed as legally deaf , so obviously isn't going to be cured . My other health issues won't improve either . But I heard that the dwp are giving out short awards for people nearing retirement so they don't have to award them and then keep the award , its awful . it's causing so much anxiety fear and stress to us all .

And to think that the Reform party have a GP in it , seems they are all against us . But I won't be voting any of the parties they hate us that's clear .
They had high paid salaries so it doesn't affect them .Sickening .

I'm 61 too and I had a text saying my pip review is underway.
My current award is due to expire August next year and I wasn't expecting to hear so soon.
I am going request an ongoing award this time and either a paper based award or telephone assessment.
I don't hold out much hope of them agreeing but we can only but try.

spot on .

I had to report a change in my health , and my review was due and the award end was next March, on the reassessment form it never asked me if I wanted a telephone assessment , but if they look at my form they will see last time I had a phone assessment as I cannot meet people face to face , also now with my hearing loss which is classed as legally deaf I still cannot pick up sentences and my husband has to sit right next to me and tell me what people have said . I've sent a lot of proof in so fingers crossed no telephone or any other type of assessment will be needed . I never knew you could request the award to be extended .
If I get a three year award again , I will request it is extended when it comes to the review so I can get it closer to my retirement .
Retirement confuses me , because we retire at 67 but some of us don't get our pensions until we are 68, but does this still mean we are at retirement age by age 67 or 68 🤔
