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 .

You're right, it's a disgrace to U turn on WFP and scrap child benefit cap to appease and buy MPs at our expense in order to secure concessions from MPs to get the evil sickness and disability benefit cuts proposal voted for. We're happy to see the WFP cut reversed and child benefit cap scraped, but not at our expense.

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 .

And most of all, why should we have to be the ones to pay for fixing a damn economy crashed by the Tories as Starmer parrots it!

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

I would be very surprised if the WFP is reversed or the two child benefit cap scrapped. I do think they are talking about them as a division.
The PIP cut proposals are as well as not instead of.
We should all be concerned about each other as division is what they want.

All of these wicked decisions should be scraped. Pensioners, children, the disabled, the mentally ill, the everyday person, everyone is important.

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

"The government’s own impact assessment showed that the cuts to the personal independence payment (Pip) and the health element of universal credit would result in 3.2m households losing an average of £1,720 a year in benefits."
And the morally bankrupt Liz Kendall is excited about this.

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.
