The Cost of Cuts
Comments

I panicked reading one comment saying people on LCWRA could be moved to LCW….Iv'e been assessed as can't work
Until 2015, LCW also meant can't work!
Both groups in ESA were for claimants judged by (non-medically trained) DWP decision-makers to have a Limited Capacity for Work. Thousands of sick and disabled people were unlawfully placed into WRAG or found 'fit-for-work' in the first national reassessment programme of 2011-2014 leading to a similar backlog of appeals that we see now.
From 2017, the support component of LCW was removed for new claims/claimants under the Welfare Reform and WORK Act 2016. LCWRA recipients were led to believe they deserved the extra component and failed to grasp the intent behind those welfare reforms.

There is a lot of speculating going on out there, I have read comments like PIP is shutting down, LCWRA to LCW, and more, those I think are panic posts. I treated the ITV leak as credible, especially when Keir reacted to it pretty much confirming its accurate, but otherwise I only accept anything if its straight from a minister.

Meanwhile in the world of politics, one back bencher mp for Coventry has claimed £900, for her dog in her 2nd home. Lynsey hoyle the speaker spent thousands upon thousands on trips abroad, expensive hotels, limos, portrait of himself and getting his home redecorated out of tax payers money

Hoyle's old man was a peer. I bet nothing gets past old Lyndsey!

Hi Scope Support team,
With regards to Scope's notice "cost of cuts" what a excellent message you have written. This HORRIBLE LABOUR GOVERNMENT has NO thoughts on the UK Disabled people who will be deeply effected by these CRUEL Disability benefits which I believe are::
Personal Independence Payment.
Universal Credit HEALTH.
I very much believe that this CRUEL LABOUR GOVERNMENT have gone to far now has disabled people of Britain we should NOT VOTE the LABOUR GOVERNMENT in office no more that will show the Prime Minister STARMER and his Chancellor REEVES and DWP Secretary. KENDEL that CUTS to the Welfare state will cause more harm than good to people including disabled people who need this kind of support from DWP to have a decent life I'm very very sure you will all agree with me when I say STOP THESE CRUEL CUTS STOP THE LABOUR GOVERNMENT HITTING THE POOREST IN BRITAIN. It is very difficult to obtain work for an abled bodied person so it will be twice has difficult for us disabled people to get work.
I strongly advise the DWP SECRETARY KENDAL TO RIP UP THIS GREEN PAPER ON PATHWAY TO WORK as it's pointless.
Thank goodness my family and I DIDN'T VOTE the LABOUR party in the General election one final word.
DON'T DESTROY THE MUCH NEEDED WELFARE STATE.
Best wishes to you all.
Kenny B. X

Hi all!
Thank you to everyone who's campaigned against benefit cuts so far. Whether that be by taking an action through Scope, campaigning with another organisation, or doing your own thing. Our voices are stronger together, and every action puts pressure on the Government to scrap their plans.
Nearly 100,000 of you have signed our petition against disability benefit cuts (we're less than 100 away now!). We'll be handing the petition to the Government later this month, so make sure you've signed before then.
1 -
Please sign this petition if you haven't - only 91 away from 100,000 signatures!
2 -
We only need 56 more signatures to reach 100,000. If you haven't signed yet, please consider doing so today!

I'm really happy to say we've now surpassed 100,000 signatures 🎉 Thank you everyone! You can still add your name if you have not already - the more signatures, the better.
