Sorry just need to vent, I'm getting sick to death of hearing the terms "tweaked" or "watered down" in relation to these despicable reforms, ANY compromise(s) are simply not good enough, we require a full ABANDONMENT of these reforms.
Not "tweaked"
Not "watered down"
No "concessions"
All I want is a complete 100% abandonment of these twisted, cost-cutting, cruel reforms.
Ugh, sorry, I'm becoming very bitter with the way the sick/disabled are treated in this country, makes me ashamed of this nation.

A government source suggested the numbers were starting to fall after Kemi Badenoch said the Tories would oppose the plans. “The idea of voting against the government becomes more difficult for people if it means walking through the lobbies with the Tories,” they said.
This bit is worrying

Tell me something that hasn't been worrying 😂😂

Came here to post this . No mention of the 4? Point rule being tweaked . 13 weeks of pip then nothing. Not even long enough to appeal. And Labour MPs voting with the government now Tory’s are against. Is that what they call concessions ?

I don't understand what other benefits are there to claim if the work capability assessment is scrapped, I have noticed they've stopped talking about that and are now talking just about PIP cuts.
I think we're being hoodwinked, we won't just lose PIP people face losing LCWRA and LCW unless they're not scrapping the Work Capability Assessment.
Pip cuts are a precursor to scrapping out of work elements of Universal Credit entirely.

That’s my first thought. Though they can hardly look down on the Tory’s now can they ?

I’m really scared at the moment, feeling so angry not just at them scumbags but myself for being the way I am, I like many many others on here don’t have a choice, this is my life, they take away my social security and I am finished. No way back, can’t think straight

I’m scared too but DPAC and others are surely waiting for the outcome before they fight this . Everyone has the right to support in this country.

We are all feeling the same way this Government has tormented us for months with this. When all the details come out I'm sure there will be a legal fight.
We can't be disabled one minute and then government says nope you ain't disabled anymore it can't work like that.
We got to keep fighting the fight with MPs 👍

Our disabilities are protected in law by the equality acts aren’t they ? And where’s the echr , isn’t it a human right to have food and shelter or aren’t the disabled a protected group

When I thought the Labour Government couldn't stoop any lower. 😡

I found this...
Disabled individuals have a right to access food and shelter, which is supported by various government programs and legal frameworks. These rights are enshrined in the Equality Act 2010 and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Government programs like Universal Credit, Personal Independence Payment (PIP), and Discretionary Housing Payments (DHPs) provide financial support for essential needs, including food and housing. Additionally, local councils offer housing assistance and may provide emergency accommodation for vulnerable individuals facing homelessness.

As hard as it may be for some, we are going to have to wait and see how much this gets watered down in the end.
Until the worst happens, I am refusing to believe that they will beggar hundreds of thousands of citizens, with 50% plus deduction in income.
It might be we all take a small to medium sized hit, who knows, but nobody can lose that level of income and make ends meet. I know I would struggle greatly.

Exactly so how can they declare us no longer disabled due to the lack of 4 points . Not because specialists Drs have stated we are cured , just because we didn’t get a 4 point.
2 -
Yeah baffles me to how we are suddenly cured because DWP Say so, I'd rather know tomorrow the results of it all as it messes with your head. I have to try and watch comedy to take mins of it keep busy

Totally agree, fingers crossed the MPs have our backs 🤞

It’s not just financial either , there’s the losing the exemption from working . I’m in bed majority of the time resting , sleeping or in pain . There’s no cure for ME and no treatment. And that’s just one of my conditions so there isn’t a day that I don’t have symptoms, no good days. Am I expect we are all like that . How could I look for work ?
