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 )

🤞Hope it gets chucked out it's so toxic along with the government

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.

Jeremy Corbyn is a good guy rubbish what Starmer did to him

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.

He is a decent guy 👍theres a story out in ipaper

Can't see it though behind a paywall

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?

false information could be seen to go both ways tho could it not its swings and roundabouts

Another battle is against the abolishment of LCWRA/LCW and the Work Capability Assessment.

There are people who claim LCWRA or LCW and don't have PIP or the other way around, so if someone doesn't qualify for this future PIP/Health element they will be left on the standard UC rate with possible sanctions and this would apply to disabled people who won't qualify for PIP.

It's a recipe for disaster, a complete car crash and it will create utter chaos in Job Centres of people having meltdowns and outbursts.
