I forgot about that one, lol.

Here's another one I forgot about, Sausage Starmer which is one I came up with myself a while back, it relates to when he accidently said something like release the sausages by mistake instead of release the hostages.

Hearing Starmer talk about Farage concerning trusting him over your futures.. whether or not I do I certainly don't with him, like he doesn't get what he's doing, traits of narcissist.

Me neither until today, I now wish I'd appealed against it, I scored 11 points in daily living, I never knew until today that 12 would have meant enhanced. I'm so cross with myself today now for accepting the lower amount through fear I'd lose the lot. I won't be making that same mistake again, thank god I come on this forum I'd have done same thing at my next reassessment and lost everything under new rules(if they succeed).

I'm undecided on this one. Whilst I would prefer they didn't make any changes, I can also see why this may be a consideration.
My two older sons both get UC at the LCWRA rate. One had it from 20 and one from 23ish. We didn't apply originally because it just wouldn't have been beneficial going through the assessment. But during lockdown, this could be done over the phone. So we applied for him.
They both received the COL payments, whereas we, getting Income Support, didn't. They both pay towards housekeeping but other than that, they have no bills, no shopping to buy, no fuel or car maintenance to pay for etc. So I can see why an under 22, living at home, doesn't really need as high an income as others. Plus many who receive LCWRA are still in Education until 25, so the parents will be claiming those benefits until the child turns 20.

I also think they should have made PIP three tiered like DLA, which would help those who may have needs but not quite enough points for Standard.

Unfortunately not all children are as lucky to have good parents though . I’ve known of kids thrown out age 16. I think any age should be supported if disabled but I do think the young need support to study or work but definitely not forced . Same for us too , give those who feel they could study or work the opportunity to but don’t force disabled people against their will.

I’ve sent her a long email Catherine . Told her all my conditions and how according to Labour as I don’t get 4 point descriptor I’m no longer classed as disabled. I said if Tory support us the disabled will support them , though I did say not with Mel stride as chancellor.

exactly. Farage may think he can ignore us well that’s fine cos so far he’s doing well in local elections. I doubt he will in a GE . GE is a serious vote and if torys want to turn it around they need our votes .

Hi Catherine,

Which email address did you use ? I have an automated reply saying to send to loto@parliament.uk and not her parliament address as she’s not my mp

It’s scary to think what happens to the ones that can’t stay living at home especially if they can’t claim benefits. If they can’t claim benefits they can’t pay a share of household bills . There’ll be some who just get thrown out .
