Thank you 😊 I got a pair of glasses I'm really pleased with 🤓 but I find it so difficult to deal with people I don't know with my anxiety disorder. Anyway, I've only got to wait for my glasses now.
I think that we have so much in the way of support for our cause that they have will have to reduce the effects of the cuts a lot for us or alternatively they will be forced into letting us engage properly with the consulation plus being made to wait until the other impact assessments come in, especially the OBR's in October so that MPs can really see in detail the terrible consequences to us of these cuts.
That would blow the whole thing wide open, ministers gaslighting would no longer work and MPs would be able to see our situation for what it actually is and what it always was.
A money saving exercise, with nothing to do with getting disabled people, most of who can't work, back into work. Even those that can work, if they lose their support, they will lose their jobs anyway.

Absolutely right! 😡 The DWP try to override everybody, even top surgeons, in your case.
The DWP have been given too much power and don't they know it! 😤

I want to thank you all for contributing to this important and emotional discussion around the proposed Green Paper and benefit reforms. It’s clear how deeply these issues affect us, and it’s completely understandable that many are feeling angry, worried, and let down, those feelings are valid, and I hope you all continue to share them here.
However, I do need to gently remind everyone that personal insults or comments about the appearance of MPs or anyone else aren’t appropriate here. These kinds of posts have had to be removed as they go against the spirit of the community and can undermine the powerful points people are making.

I imagine you were tired out afterwards. I had to make one official call and had to sleep afterwards. Of course I then wake in pain again. I can imagine how fatigued you were afterwards.
Regarding the points system I agree the way it seems to you is worse , though it’s all bad for some. The thing that scares me is the mps voting don’t understand the pip system. For them to be told “ only” 10% will lose pip when it’s clearly the other way around is ridiculous. The original 4 point rule would almost wipe out standard albeit 13% who get the 4 points . I would be among the enhanced 13% who don’t get 4 points so no longer disabled yet currently on enhanced. Your thinking would mean almost all of us losing . Standard no longer existing and only those in the top points of enhanced. They’re determined to leave us with nothing and I don’t think it’s to do with money. They’re throwing money around without worrying apart from when it comes to us . And if they continue to reinstate the WFA( which they should) and scrap the two child limit they won’t save a penny from us in fact it’ll cost them in tribunals. They’re saying they need to bring down the welfare bill but it will increase if anything . Compared to what they’re spending we are talking small amounts . It’s like when they compared pip to pocket money, well to them it is . It’s probably what they claim in expenses each day .1 -

I imagine if they did this there would be a lot of upset and possibly aggressive patients /claimants at the Drs surgery. This could potentially put the staff at risk . Don’t job centres have security guards? Will our Dr surgeries now need security too ?

I can’t see GPs willing to get involved in this . I take there would be quotas like the assessors seem to have . They can’t say everyone is too sick to work as the government wants the opposite.

They want to take the power GP's have of giving fit notes away also.
They do not want you to have a penny if you can't work, it's that simple and apparently doing that will help Labour beat Reform, it's absolute lunacy, Labour are a one term government and I never want to see them anywhere near government ever again after this.
Oh Labour have an answer if we can't work, it's called euthanasia.

What a coincidence the assisted dying bill at the same time as removing out benefits. I’m sure I read some time ago a MP saying they’re concerned by this

I do econsults never go in what will they do then ? Force people in I'm sure my doctor wouldn't have that who knows seems money buys everything imagine tea and biscuits on tap get you into a false sense of illusion if that was back in the day my dad would have gone everyday for tea and biscuits to tell them the same story how he came home and my mum had gone even smaratians said he had to stop visiting everyday sorry spelling bad
