Amaya_Ringo, "I wonder if that 'warning' about claimants (ie the implication we are all waiting to defraud the government) is actually to obfuscate the very real possibility the DWP will instruct to award fewer points in categories where claimants previously obtained 4."
I will try to find again what I read so I can date this. I think it was WCA related rather than PIP. The implication that claimants are faking anything is grotesque considering the number of sick and disabled claimants who were weeded out the last time leaving only "the most severely disabled" with support.
Now the LCWRA group is to be reassessed under the 2016 WCA 'reforms' leaving only the most severely disabled with support ???

Yes.

There may be a newbie committee member who doesn't know the history of welfare reform but I've not looked.

anything or anyone that causes trouble for starmer is good in my book .

I knew he was disabled but didnโt know how exactly. She did of course use him and her disabled mum to win votes and sympathy

not sure how they can class me as a disabled worker when Iโm bed/ house bound . Maybe streeting has found the cure for ME/CFS

Amaya_Ringo, "The DWP as an organisation has too much power, basically. There is no regulator. Most other bodies have regulators to ensure checks and balances, but the DWP deals with a huge number of vulnerable people and there is nobody to ensure they do it properly. Without a complete overhaul of the DWP, breaking it down and rebuilding it with these checks and balances, any policy that comes from that department is probably going to be unfit for purpose :/ Just the idea of giving such an organisation more responsibility or ability to monitor or intrude into people's lives is quite terrifying because who is there to ensure safeguarding targets are met?"
DWP intends to swallow HMRC fairly soon, I think. The ending of Contribution-Based benefits isn't getting much attention but this is massive for working-age citizens. It is truly terrifying.

secretsquirrel,
I said "I don't know what hold she has over Keir Starmer or indeed the Labour Party.
The public has lapped up the anti-Starmer narrative like they did the anti-EU narrative."
Perhaps I didn't make clear that she has also double-crossed Keir Starmer. You seem convinced the solution is to get rid of him. Be careful what you wish for!

I thought the wca for lcwra is getting left the same until it's abolishment in 2028 .... Only then will the pip assessment take it over

Dan wootton also has some good videos on starmer that if true and finally comes out could finish him .

I really hope everything works out for you jul1, and you do not lose a penny !! ,
Hoping the same for everyone on here.
None of us should be living under the stress of losing any of the 'PATHETIC PITTANCE ' we get , let's not forget that we literally have to beg and 'jump through hoops' to get the PITTANCE too.
This country is a disgrace and I WILL NEVER VOTE for anybody again.
Much love to you jul1, and everyone else on here, it's been a rough few weeks but we have to carry on fighting. As hard as it is.
MUCH LOVE AND HUGS TO YOU ALL. xxxxx
