This morning news…

• Downing Street has confirmed it is in talks with Labour MPs about possible changes to the government's welfare policies
• No 10 says they "want" to hold a vote on Tuesday, as currently planned, and admits getting the policy right is "not easy"
• It's a notable softening of tone, our political correspondent Henry Zeffman says
• More than 120 Labour backbenchers have signed an amendment calling for the proposals to be scrapped, making an embarrassing defeat for the government possible

Morning lincsgranny

My first assessor was so bad the dwp wrote they wanted my next assessor to record the assessment. 30 minutes before the assessment was to take place over the phone the centre called and said the assessor wasn’t equipped to record and blamed the dwp as according to them it’s the dwp who make the appointments. So even the phone staff lie . As I’ve said on here before and some didn’t agree , I know of someone medically trained who went to the training to become an assessor. They were so disgusted by the methods they were taught to down grade awards they didn’t even start the job . I believe this to be true .

LCWRA is my biggest fear, I’d be lost without it, hope if they want to abolish it or make it harder to get this gets a backlash as well

I really don’t understand the lcwra and pip that’s coming in the future ( hopefully not). Right now you’re on lcwra and probably too stressed at the thought of another assessment to claim pip ( though could be your own personal reason obviously) . If it becomes one assessment and you pass you will then get pip and lcwra equivalent. Unless I’m missing something i don’t see how they’ll make savings

This from the BBC, The vote is still going ahead.

Currently I am in receipt of UC with LCWRA and PIP at the standard rate, all this is so stressful I’m being reviewed for PIP my forms had to be returned in August last year and am still waiting for the assessment

with the BBC sharing things like this no wonder the public are misinformed. The most biased news channel I have ever seen. Such a non story if he doesn’t need it why claim it?
