Seems like she’s changed her mind . Wasn’t that letter sent weeks ago? I wonder how many others have seen the light since

Yeah I just saw it pop up on x

You are amazing Catherine, you’re always emailing non stop. And you get results too . I never get a reply , but they know better than to ignore you 😀

The logical chain is simple - attack submarines need warheads - they need to be designed and manufactured - won't this happen at the expense of reducing costs for disabled people?

Wow either she’s realised how bad it will actually be for us or how bad it will be for her . Either way how many others are changing their minds ?

Not if they employ us to design and manufacture the subs. Anybody have a blueprint?
0 -
Using blueprint you can only build something similar to the Titanic. Now you need to know CAD/CAE. I'm afraid Starmer will start building Yellow Submarines...they are very cheap, he'll like them!

What happens if your reassessed and get awarded pip before Nov 26. What is the minimum award time length.
0 -
When you look at our leadership background it really explains the lack of understanding of the pip announcement. They want so much to stay in power but have no idea or experience in the plabx they are making. The more I read the less concern I get.

That’s what I’d like to know. My awards up Feb but I haven’t had a form yet . I don’t know whether to leave it or call them . I don’t want them extending so my form falls into the new rules , if they come in

Thanks Catherine, I should get mine this month then roughly. I’m really hoping I’ll get a paper based now . 🤞

I am amongst that 6/7 percent because I score 4 points on two descriptors. I’m fairly riddled with rheumatoid arthritis plus have developed severe mental health conditions. Yet I worked for decades? For anyone asking about the points system.I allowed both PIP and ADP( I’m Scottish) to access EVERY MEDICAL RECORD.. plus I have record of all tax paid/ wage slips etc over my career. I think the key is to be open about your health as there will be records there/ doctors reports, hospital visits, diagnosis and prognosis over many years. I have that. You need proof now that you are profoundly unwell/ disabled. So visit your practise, ask for referral.. keep all documents, maintain a paper trail. It’s not enough to have one professional’s opinion you need a history. You need to let them access your medical history. People with 4 points need to stop feeling guilty about it. Accept we are profoundly disabled and need help. I paid enough into the system.. I’m entitled.❤️

Yep.. but there are things you can do about this. I have 4 points( twice).. but I also have allowed my FULL medical records to be accessed under the ADP system. They do access all your records. All doctors reports, hosp visits are there.. so anyone worried you need to beef up proof. It’s not enough to say.. ‘ten years ago I was assessed for depression and I take seroxat now. I feel down at times and have sciatica.’ That person may be unfit for work but there is NO proof? Doctors and professional referrals need to be engaged because nothing in the current system allows for self diagnosis or referral? I do see a huge swathe of very Ill/disabled folk losing benefits because there is no paper trail. They are at the mercy of an independent assessor. Formalise and diagnose your disability?

What ? Blue Streak ?
A minor co k up - it was not instantly launchable - needing 4 1/2 minutes to be fuelled prior to launch !!
Total spent £1.3 Billion - cancelled 1960 - equivalent to £14 Trillion today !
Starmer now thinks that he's Churchill - he's trying to get the UK war-fighting ready - "We will fight them with Peaches - We will never surrender"

Problem is there are conditions which gave no cure or treatment. I was diagnosed many years ago with ME and fibromyalgia but apart from GET and CBT you just get prescribed muscle relaxers and painkillers then discharged. I have other conditions from over 30 years ago where Drs haven’t bothered with helping me . As I’ve got older and conditions worsen I’ve had to visit my go more often but I’m fatigued and in pain daily and there’s nothing they can do . Last assessment I sent my whole medical notes in , including letters from gps stating prognosis not good. I still only got award for two years increased to three by the dwp
