and that's exactly why the Establishment is pushing these cuts. how many of those mentally unwell people have successfully unalived themselves since March? their deaths will save the government money. In their yes, the fewer "useless eaters" alive, the better.
All benefit claimants on PIP and or LCW/LCRWA should be compensated £0000s for the stress the government inflicted on them via these cuts once this is over. and for those that unalived themselves, their families should get the compensation instead.

One possible concession on welfare (that I’ve heard talked about) is to change the PIP rules so you need to score at least a 3 instead of a 4 to qualify. @resfoundation say that would hit 35 % of people on PIP daily living compared to 46% now, 314,000 fewer people( ITV )

Richard Burgeon response to this:-
Let’s be totally clear: under this so-called concession, a disabled person who needs ALL the following would still lose their PIP:
*help cutting up food
*help washing below the waist
*help dressing their lower body
*supervision managing toilet needs
Unacceptable.

3 points is silly, half of the criteria don't have a 3 point option, so you are going to have people disadvantaged if they are claiming on a criteria that only has 2 and 4 point options.
Making disability about points and numbers is already pretty tacky. Now trying to define what makes a 'real' disability by adding up those numbers is…
Nobody claims PIP for fun. The process is hell on earth.2 -
Rreading this article from the Guardian, Starmer is not prepared to do any U turns.

to be fair you only hear about the people who for whatever reason find it hard to get an award or what they think they should get i write as i speak filled my own forms and from start to payment was two months i should imagine there is many more that get it without a problem than there is problem cases but as with most things in life there not mentioned

I'm not against reforming benefits for example getting medically trained staff to do assessments, the encouragement for community projects to build confidence on a voluntary basis but this is an act of cruelty and cowardice.
Labour's front bench, the Tories and Reform are not friends of disabled/incapacitated people. Credit to the DUP MP's who've signed that amendment, see they're a Conservative party but they're against making the lives of the vulnerable a further hell, why can't Reform or the Tories follow suit? What is their problem?

The ones you hear that find it hard to get an award is due to lying assessors that put down false information so yeah your gonna hear about them and to right the system assessments shouldn't be run by non medically trained staff
