Thankyou for your reply bton1968.
I have taken on board what you have advised.
I have been a wreck these past weeks as have been consumed by the intense anxiety regarding these matters.
As have us all ..

I read on a previous post that Kendall promised no further assessments for people with lifelong conditions and said it’s non negotiable. I think that’s what you’re referring to . It was posted today at 4.19

I decided to edit the Wikipedia pages of the aforementioned Steven Race MP, Labour, and Luke Charters MP, Labour, and include the fact that they both sit on the all parliamentary group, for ME (Myaglic Encephalomyelitis) yet support Labours benefit cuts which will harm many people from the ME community.
I feel this deceitful behaviour is in the public interest (and may be an indication of character or lack thereof) and should be reported on a wider front.

Well done Dav1d . Has the ME association commented on them ?

I might have understood it wrong but those descriptors regarding LCWRA seems like "you can keep it if we decide you're 'disabled enough' through these very specific requirements."

Not that Im aware of, but I did send them the info.
DWP cuts are being driven by Starmer adviser Morgan McSweeney
I was not really aware of who this McSweeney was until recently. Now I think he might be becoming public enemy number one. Anathema. Not good to be around. From a career point of view?
Along with Trevor Chinn he was one of the founders of this think tank Labour Together which seems set on viciously attacking disabled people and lying about it.
Richard Murphy gives his opinion on Starmers chief of staff in this short video at around the two minute mark:

If a disabled person tells the work coach he is in the support group of ESA on migration and is made to go to the job centre despite the disabled person asking for reasonable adaptations like a home visit and an injury happens to the disabled person because he/she was told to attend job centre what could the disabled person do, would he/she have a case to prosecute them for the injury?

I found this
If a disabled person is required to attend the jobcentre and experiences an accident, they may be able to sue the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) if the accident was a direct result of the DWP's actions or neglect of its duties. The DWP may be liable for negligence or discrimination if the accident was avoidable and caused by their failure to provide reasonable adjustments or accommodations.

Just checked my forms i sent off years ago & they clearly state i need assistance as can not put things into oven or out safely amongst other things plus my recorded phone conversation you can hear me say i have no idea if anything is cooked properly still got 2 points when needing assstance is 4 points but never complained as i got 12 points. Think ive even got the form before that when i had a face to face *last was phone.

The person just has to call the ESA number and ask the question to ESA and they will confirm that if youre in the support group you do not have to go into the JC, and then ESA should contact the work coach and tell the work coach as well.

I have same . Last form I wrote I need prompting plus help cutting food . I got 2 points . Same situation in other questions . I can now see how I was deliberately steered towards 2 point questions and this was two years ago . The assessor increased my award so I was advised not to appeal the discrepancy but now it makes me wonder if this was always in the pipeline

I recently migrated over and didn’t have the required ID. They gave me a JC interview but I left a message in my journal and asked for a phone ID appointment and they were fine with that .

The government is copying the experience of Ukraine and Russia. In Russia, carers for disabled relatives are paid from £10 to £200 a month, in Ukraine - £1 or nothing! However, in Ukraine, the carers gets a good bonus - the carer will not be taken to war!

It doesn't matter. For the sake of saving 5 bn, they will call white black and approve it in law. What is important is a principled protest against the cuts.

I will simply ask them what treatment is available for chronic fatigue that I haven’t been offered before.
I think as it stands vagrancy is against the law but parts of the law were scrapped giving police powers to move people on . According to what I’ve read Rayner intends to scrap it which could lead to tent cities with no powers of removal. I can’t see it helping anyone. They did this in USA and it had bad consequences apparently.0 -
This is what I’ve been saying. Kendall reckons it’ll be non negotiable, does that mean it will be down to NHS guidelines on lifelong conditions with no cure or assessors own opinion as it is now ?
