I am going to write a letter requesting the assessment type and longer award.
Last time I was assessed they awarded me 3 years and I wrote requesting a longer award and they extended it to 5 years.
I am due to retire at 67.
As far as I know that is when our pension will be granted.

Thanks for that information , and I wish I'd have asked for a longer award , but at the time I had just had major surgery for cancer and was just grateful for the money to keep paying the bills .
I hope you get the award extended . Also glad we are 67 when pension will be granted .

It's a long shot. However, it might be worth it. Our benefits are spent in our local economies. Remove that money from us and local businesses go bust: little coffee shops, taxi firms, gardeners, cleaners, small care companies.

Catherine, I will send one to her, I agree we have to just keep on doing this, anything we can even if they bin it. Someone in her office has to open and read it so its worth a shot. You are doing fantastic Catherine and who cares if they cant fully understand what you write, I am absolutely positive they will get the gist of your emails 😁

Zipz, you are so right about local businesses, I am housebound ( hate it and not by choice like the media like to think it is ! ) but I do get deliveries from small local cafes etc, really nice meals too, I would starve if not lol, well not quite as my kids do make at least one meal a day for me and bring it round plated and cut up ugh 😤 hate being so blooming dependent on others. Both my Daughters are Nursing Sisters on busy busy wards at the local hospital, they are lovely kids but are in their 40's and have their own lives to live, I don't want them to be here all the time when they should be at home after 12 hour back breaking shifts, they already take care of cleaning and dressing my legs daily. I use local as much as I can, gardeners, taxis etc so yes I will email her, she might reply if only to regurgitate the usual rhetoric. I know for a fact their are quite a few disabled folk who live near me who also rely on these small businesses.

they’re all a dodgy looking bunch in parliament. They’ve had one sacked over fraud over a stolen phone , then one sacked over fraud and has interpol after her . Ones been convicted of assault and should be in jail . Reeves lied on her cv. Imagine that was the Tory’s , labour would be going crazy . Even these reforms, if they were Tory reforms labour would vote them down and bring them in while in office.

Does anyone know about biographical interviews for UC ? I don’t have passports or drivers license for online ID. Had a horrible man tell me it’s too late I did something wrong so can’t . Now have appointment to go in . I’ve left a message on my school report ( journal) asking but no reply as yet.

I just watched an interesting yet shocking video on YouTube. He’s a reputable channel as far as I can see with no scaremongering. Disability Talk with Steve. He read out a report that basically tells the story of someone who had an assessment and when he wanted to appeal found out his assessment report had been changed . Someone had changed what the assessor put and took away points and basically lied . And apparently it’s legal and could happen to any one of us .

They are that good. I've got quite a lot of faith in them. Ellen Clifford from DPAC was the one that went to court to challenge the previous government over their welfare green paper and got it declared unlawful as it was proved that they had only wanted to save money on benefits, it wasn't anything to do with getting us back to work.
Labour are doing a much nastier version of the same thing with their green paper but this time they are putting it through by primary legislation, unlike the Tories so they can minimise the challenge, through the courts by DPOs like DPAC.
It doesn't mean we lose hope though. It could be harder and take a lot longer but I'd be very surprised if they didn't challenge the government as soon as it is possible, using every means at their desposal.
I agree that it is truly shocking that the government doesn't care that we'll be destitute and homeless. There really is no group they have got in in for, as badly as us.

Sorry! Your MP.

I'm glad I made you laugh! It's my weird sense of humour. 😁 As you can tell, I've got no time for the honours system. 😉

the knight of the realm I meant 😂. But I did google it so I know it’s Charles . Not my king as I’m anti royalist . Hence I didn’t know 😀. He won’t care , I read they charge for use of their land for something recently but can’t remember what exactly. Brain fog . It’s been a day on the phone migrating over and a right drama .

As well as my local MP I've written to my local councillors. I've also done two different submissions to the All Parliamentary Party Group both of which are part of the green paper consultation through DPAC
and I've written a personal response to the green paper consultation.
