Well he doesn’t seem to have any empathy for any of us . Obviously just a careerist and psychopath. Any mp voting for cuts out of fear or loyalty will just be stabbed in the back and left behind.

I read an article this morning that said reeves will have to go and the prime person to take over is Pat McFadden. I’m sure I’ve heard he’s for cuts but can’t fully remember.

I find that whole debate very troubling luvpink. I cant imagine why a disabled person would even suggest that idea on here. Why are we pitting ourselves against each other ? There may only be a few of ''us'' pension age people on here but it would seem the masses have forgotten we have by no means been spared from these changes. Think I just need to have a little break from here, I really thought we were all fighting as one for our rights, seems we are not.

What really gets to me about these proposed changes is the government did not consider the impact on mental health and the lack of clarity. I do feel bad that when I been worried and down I posted at these low times. I do apologise if I added to others worries . I am sorry for this

So my pip reassessment telephone call was due last week at 9am and didn't sleep, preparing myself, the call was late only for the lady to tell me that the healthcare professional wasn't available so is rearranged for next week.They don't understand what you go through, at least still doing reassessments. What does it mean if I get pip award for certain amount of years concerning November 26? Also ESA just had letter telling me it continues, the non contribution based one.

I think it’s a good idea Charlie . They’re all for themselves no matter the party. Anything that gets them votes .

Hi luvpink,
I don’t think when means testing is mentioned it means people just over a certain amount or those with savings . I can only speak for myself but it’s millionaires and those on very high incomes. Look at David Cameron for instance. He claimed DLA for his son though he’s a millionaire. My point is yes legally he was entitled to but for us whether we work on a low wage or cannot work we rely on pip . We would be destitute if we lost it . We know when it’s coming into our accounts as we need it . For some like Cameron it’s just extra and if they lost it they wouldn’t feel the effect as we would. I’ve lost pip in the past and esa at the same time and was in a terrible state . But it wouldn’t have affected me if I were a millionaire or very well off .

I agree . I have invisible conditions and I feel I’m looked as a fake as I look fine . When I’m bad people don’t see me . Everyone has a story of I have a neighbour etc who gets pip and is fine yet I can’t get it . But you don’t know how someone suffers behind closed doors .

I think right now there’s no one else to vote for . People gave labour a chance and that’s made the situation worse. Come an actual election would Reform voters who are disabled really vote for them ? I think all three parties are losing the disabled vote yet they keep telling us there are millions of people who are disabled.

They played a similar trick on me . I was down as having phone assessment and recorded . Dwp wrote that and I called Atos to confirm. 30 mins before the call they called to say it’s booked with someone who can’t record . Then blamed dwp and said it’s dwp who book appointments
