I think the media are pushing this MH and neurodivergent narrative tbh . I’ve also read they’re concentrating on invisible conditions, arthritis etc . Unless they change it it’s supposed to be how the condition affects you . If you’ve been given a 4 point already which is hard to get ( I get enhanced but no 4 ) then I can’t see how they can remove it with no explanation. I think it’ll be harder for me as although I qualified on paper for a 4 next time I’ll have to fight for it . You have a 4 so they know you deserve it , I would try not to worry if you can . I emailed starmer this morning and said your policies are ruining the Labour Party, you need to show you care about the people and change this reforms especially the 4 points. I’d already told him my conditions and that even bed /house bound mostly I still didn’t get a 4 point as assessors don’t award them .

I have heard of people getting a paper based assessment and I really hope I do when my time comes. I’m sick , literally, of saying the same thing to them for conditions with no cure or treatment. I just looked back at my last assessment and from my form and what I said I should have I got a 4 . I wonder if they knew in advance though I’m probably overthinking it. This time I’ll go MR and tribunal for the 4 points. Imagine the ivermectin a million of us going to appeal . Even those who don’t qualify for a 4 will now appeal when before they would’ve been happy at standard . I don’t see how they’ll cope with it, the system will fall.

Brilliant work but if past record is anything to go by the gov. seem to do as they please.

Sorry, @WhatThe,

I don’t know why you have to keep repeating this to me on every thread, despite me being kind and clearly expressing my stance. Let me say it once again: 👇🏼

I have clearly stated my views that this current Pathways to Work Green Paper proposal is threatening the life of my family, including my children. I am not referring to any other Pathways to Work proposal here, nor anything that happened whatever years ago.
Many others, like me, share the same views and are fighting this shared cause. For the first time, we have HOPE that our collective voices can impact the trajectory of these proposals getting implemented.
Please, assuming you are akin, I kindly plead with you not to create any doubts or ruin our HOPE in moving forward. Please 🙏🏽

Please sign and share this new Parliamentary Petition backed by a few DPO’s :

Abandon DWP Pathways to Work Green Paper & create National Disability Strategy

You’re welcome @Santosha12 . Nice to hear from you. Hope you’re keeping well 😊

Hope you are ok

Signed

I always had that impression of him, it was interesting that it mirrored my existing thoughts.
As an example I felt he only won the election due to the Tories imploding, rather than people liking him or his policies, he barely had any policies as for the most part Labour have just carried on Tory stuff, and I believe Kendall amongst others when they were plotting against Corbyn, seeked out Keir rather than him actively trying to become leader.
The article I also believe to be true that when he became Labour leader he initially was acting like he would continue Corbyn values, but of course as we now know he went on to join the Tories in abusing Corbyn in parliament, someone from his own party and an ex leader of the party.
I have never considered Keir to have any principles, but rather he just changes his position to whatever he think will make him popular in swing seats. That Labour are acting now as if they need to appease Reform voters, doesnt surpise me one bit. He is certainly no Blair.
