Scope's reply to the governments planned concessions to the green paper.

Does anyone know what the **** is going on at the minute , I've never been more lost about everything in my whole life ! My OCD makes me crave certainty and order and there isn't any .... I'm literally finding it hard to even type , I spend sometimes days in the same position not being able to move , it's definitely going to be like that for the next few days , what we've had to go through over these past few months has been disgusting .... Need some rest bite

The obvious solution to PIP assessments is to get medically trained people to assess, it would add a watertight legitimacy to the claimants which no vindictive government could question.

This country is in a crisis of morality, it really is fractured though it's within online discourse, in public my mother says no hatred is directed at the disabled instead compassion and empathy from others to for example a person in a wheelchair.

They need to vote this down as I’m more suspicious now than I was before. Most of the bill is gone so what’s the point ? If this bill passes does it give Timms free rein to bring in the tougher criteria he obviously wants to ? Or will any future changes still need to be voted in ?

True dat! secretsquirrel

This is looking more like PIP will continue as normal, with maybe some subtle changes here and there. The bonfire will be ESA, as literally NOBODY is talking about it.

omeone said abovee that the govt might removethe points system for descriptors for PIP and make it as hard as they likwe.

Actually, I guess not, Why there are human rights e.g.

duty of care i.e. they cant be cruel vicious or abusive, right to life, ditto, citizens right to respect. etc. etc.

And Starmer's old firm said his bill will break human rights.

Also

I will be approaching Starmer's old law firm to see if they could take me on as a client and mount an action against the govt if need be.

Determination, and love, allied with intellect makes for freedom, I will NEVER EVER give up.

Pessimism is, in fact, and in law, not called for.

said we should ignore The Telegraphs right wing propaganda against us. We have a right of reply, as part of democracy, please Gogle it and USE it folks.

What I don't understand about the Right Wing is that they will stand for the state pension and the triple lock and the winter fuel allowance yet utterly hate disabled or incapacitated people on benefits.

I don't get it and I never have and never will. If they don't want anyone to be on the state then be consistent.

frozenpelvis above asked is there a fairer system for PIP without constant stress of reassessments, yes there is, and yes you can.

I heard of Article 2 of the ECHR years ago, and wrote to DWP re PIP and ESA assessments ,complaining they always made me suicide attempt, and they have a duty of care.

I took further advice from CAB consultants who write the Tax Credits and Welfare Handbook

and they advised no DWP assessments are necessary in law, DWP GPs often omit vital evidence from claimants, and the DWP can easily get info re illnesses from your GP and your hospital consultants.

I haven't had a ESA or PIP assessment for 15 years.

Do what I did.

And gain peace of mind, make the DWP stick to human rights laws, and copy any letters to your MP. Complain to DWP if you have to.

Be positive be strong survive. Even thrive.
