    I think it’s delaying the time we would lose pip and lcwra to give us time to apply for other benefits ( which is only basic uc for job seekers I think) or find other alternatives. I wonder if they’re testing the waters to see if they can offer a little bit and see if the MPs vote for it .

    Good Morning, Yes that's exactly what I read and tend to beleive that more than her targeting mental health claimants, maybe it was a smokescreen, or in my opinion she's realised her mistaken comments on saying PIP was never designed for mental health reasons (untrue as Iv'e researched), but again she's so deluded and put her foot in it by tring to target another group- physically, older, disabled people!! So now shes been ageist, among other discriminatory comments she makes.

    If this was the 16th century she'd be up for witchcraft, infact we should bring a case against her under the witchcraft act 1736, and then burn her at the stake and celebrate with burgers and hotdogs.

    I have ME and even a phone conversation can mentally and physically tire me out . Being forced to work will put us under pressure as we are responsible for others when we can’t even take care of ourselves.

    I agree with you that it's doubtful that money is the issue. It's the ideology behind this minor amount in savings that this is all about.

    Starmer and Co have set themselves up as a party for people who work. It's not for the working class any longer. If you are unable to work, like us or you are too young or old to work, they regard you as an unnecessary burden, costing the country money. Yes, isn't it evil. 😳

    I think you meant the ECHR, the European Court of Human Rights. They are already discriminating against the human rights of disabled children.

    I've just read about the SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) children where the government are now trying to stop their funding. They will then have to be taught in a mainstream school which will really disadvantage them educationally and leave them at much greaterrisk of being bullied by other children. 😡

    It's disgraceful but hardly surprising. The monsters who are supposed to be governing the country are using every way they can to sideline the disabled, whatever their age. As far as they are concerned, only fit and able people of working age who do work deserve anything at all. 😤

    I agree that their priorities are completely immoral and wrong and have nothing to do with what amount of money is allocated and to where but with their political choices in trying to compete with the odious Nigel Farage and his equally vile colleagues in Reform UK. 🤮

    The problem with taxing the gambling sites is that the companies that run them will pass the extra costs of that tax on to their vulnerable customers, many of who will be gambling addicts, making life even worse for them.

    I would not like to think that any U turn of any kind should be achieved by making people who have gambling addiction pay even more to do so, putting them into more debt, poverty and misery.

    How grotesque this government has become. 👺

    Hi jul ,

    it was the send kids I meant , I think it’s the echp or similar they want to stop. It’s weird as once I heard about the 2 child limit scrapped I thought to myself, but what about the disabled children? They’ll grow up to probably be disabled adults and Starmer hates them .

    I don't think Scope will mind it too much, it's a good lookalike of her (and very funny) , I'm sure NO10 don't have cabinet meetings if she attends, more like a coven sat around their cauldrons brewing up evil schemes against us, double, double, toil and trouble Liz Kendall burn, and cauldron bubble😆

    We all need a laugh at times like this Martin, especially with these clowns in office.

    Keep well.😊

    I have decided to wait until it's made law and deal with it after that. I written to my MP and others and sign petition . There nothing more I feel I can do now.

    This means they must know it will leave us destitute.

    I think it’s the one pic of her that may be ok to post 😂. It reminded me of a favourite film Horror Hotel . I’m sure Catherine will know 😂

    I could be wrong but I think they slyly mean instead of the 5 week wait for basic uc they’ll continue to give us pip . Same as now , when you transfer over from legacy you get an extra payment of esa legacy after you transfer . But how can we legally claim uc and agree to job searches when we know we can’t ?

    Sky news political commentator says we will be given more time to prepare and to claim other benefits, what are these benefits?

    Just shows they haven’t got a bloody clue, speaking utter nonsense

    I don’t know how this will even work out . If I lose pip and automatically lcwra I then have to apply for uc basic and agree to job searches. I physically cannot sign up for that as I’m either resting or sleeping most of my time. So what benefit would I claim ? There isn’t one . I think they mean once we lose pip we get TP while we wait for uc basic to kick in . So maybe one extra payment as they do now for esa legacy going to uc lcwra

    Hi all,

    I haven’t yet filled out the consultation but I just had an idea that when I do I will suggest actual descriptors for fatigue as for those of us suffering from ME, fibromyalgia, long Covid and MH fatigue is a major symptom. I think it may be a good idea to write to them again. I know they don’t care but an actual descriptor for a main symptom of a lot of conditions would help us .

    I'm creating a new character called Little Miss Loathsome (from the Mr.Men books by Roger Hargreaves) I'll post it on here when Iv'e done it. Give us all a laugh hopefully.
