I don’t think he’ll be in for long 🤞. I read this morning about reeves on her way out but pat McFadden possibly taking her place . I’m sure I’ve read he’s for cuts or am I wrong ?

Pat McFadden is for the Welfare Cuts

I know and I agree with you . I think everyone on this forum would be lost without their pip . I have no cure or treatment so I’d be destitute with no plan b . And I’m single so can’t count on a partner while I go to tribunal. You heard what the mp said , he compared pip to pocket money because to them it is .well off people have no idea . They can apply for pip and depending on how well off they are it may be a bonus . To us it’s a lifeline . I really think they should bring in rules whereby if you lose pip you keep it while you go through the appeal system. I’ve lost mine before and was left with nothing .

That sounds awful Catherine and that’s just who you are . You should be allowed to be yourself instead of having to conform to what society wants . All this over them saving what is a small amount of money which to any other cause they’re throwing it around.

I’m not being dramatic when I say it broke me and I never fully recovered. I was told by the legal advisor who was helping me she’d never seen a case like it where the system was so against me . And I had so much evidence the dwp advised me to appeal. For some it goes well as it’s supposed to do , for others not so well . I’m sure there’s been worse situations than mine . I don’t know if my conditions or unlucky with the assessors . I feel bad for people who are so worried about the application process they don’t apply , and it’s something that should be there for us and help us .

Sometimes it’s nice to to switch off . I’m happy in my own company.
You’ve literally emailed everyone Catherine, you’ve done so much . I can imagine them meeting up saying blimey guess who I heard from today , only Catherine . Just scrap the cuts for Catherine 😀❤️
