    Agree! I'm just turned 64 so overturning the WFP does not affect me at this stage (still have 3 more years to state pension) 🤬. Child poverty does not affect me either as my children are all grown up. Yet I am in the process of awaiting a WCA with a view to LCWRA and possibly PIP if I go down that route. So going back on these other two issues does not help everyone that is sick/disabled. Bad enough they keep putting state pension age up but to be further discriminated against because I'm not over 66/67 or I have multiple children is taking the piddle. So no, I am not happy as we are not being treated equally.

    So what do you A_Z1961 and secretsquirrel1 suggest, someone goes without while you keeps yours, very selfish attitude you have there. We all need to win, but according to you we shouldn't as long as you're alright. This discussion is going the wrong way in my opinion.

    I do think they they should give the winter fuel allowance to the elderly who need it , never said I didn’t. But they are talking about removing money from the disabled and in turn losing lcwra meaning we either have to work or those of us who simply can’t will be sanctioned. For starmer to say we will help the elderly ( which I agree with) and people to have more children at the expense of getting these reforms through and leaving the disabled destitute I think would be disgusting . If you don’t like this discussion don’t involve yourself or call people selfish if they don’t agree with you .

    Exactly and after so many people are protesting and writing to our MPs cis we are fighting for our existence. Last time Tory’s did this people died , I can’t think of anything more extreme than that . Why should we be sacrificed as though we are worth less .

    It started with the imaginary black hole , then they went on a spending spree and expect us to pay for it . I really think there’s more to all these decisions as he’s destroying the Labour party and I can’t help thinking it’s on purpose

    Rachel Freeze Reeves loses support over benefit cuts, she is saying that she's now listening to what's going on regarding the WFP.

    It doesn't sound like she is prepared to do any compromise.

    But like it’s wrong to buy a council house and deplete council stock all while buying your own council house . Labour hypocrisy.

    Hi

    I think they made a mistake sending mine so early because originally I was awarded until September this year but they extended it August next year due to backlogs but anyway I am just glad to have sent the form off.

    I requested a paper based or telephone assessment so we will see what eventually happens.

    Good luck with yours.

    Take care.

    Steve Podcast from Disability Talks with some positive thought provoking ideas on the connection with a possible change to the WFA to possible changes in how the cuts could be considered.

    Just watched liz kendall on YouTube. She is obsessed, looks like a mad woman. No sign of backing down in the slightest
