Following a review, a number of comments have been removed as they completely go against the community house rules. We appreciate when tensions are high during incredibly crucial moments.
However, we cannot tolerate certain language, especially derogatory name calling. Not just within the community, but about any human being. It’s not who we are. It’s not what we stand for.

Honestly its so hard to keep up when members don't post here.

I agree luvpink. if I miss a day or two its really hard to follow what is happening. Maybe Scope could pin just a brief outline, bullet points of what's happening up to now but make it a post that cannot be replied to ? I don't know if they can or would do that but it might help.

This is what we are all up against, misinformation or deliberate fake info. Not sure what the answer is to this.

News and newspapers are merely opinions of a group of billionaires desperate to influence public opinion and make more money don't read it unless it comes from the top

I would say most people who are in the ESA / lcwra group are not there because of substantial risk..... I also have just read that people on cbesa / LCWRA but no pip should not expect there circumstances to change until 2028 / 2029 when the WCA gets scrapped and pip takes over.... It stated that this won't start happening till earliest April 2028 and that will be a phased process and it will be new claims first , so existing claiments nearly certainly won't hear anything about the new pip assessment till earliest back end of 2029 ..... No way I'm worrying like I have been for that long , time to take a break and just concentrate on our next wca

Hi all. There's a lot of questions about where we now stand following the U-turn this week. Just wanted to advise that Scope is working to provide some detail around where we now stand etc. Hopefully we'll be able to share something with you soon.
Best wishes,

Hi @secretsquirrel1 - this has been added about 'severe conditions' in the Amendment Paper (UC & PIP Bill) today,
'applies to the claimant as a result of a fluctuating condition such as Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis' This can be seen on p8 :

Dear Holly, and others whose name I cannot remember - damaged memory
Thank you so much for
- listening to my and others concerns re the UC PIP Bill,
- working with DRUK, Disability Alliance and other disabled peoples' organisations
- - for taking on my suggestions, to keep keeping on writing to MPs, and the media, and for organising a mass lobby of Parliament - for growing, developing more self compassion, and compassion for others, and in many other ways.
- - a just cause struggle for equality allows us all to go beyond our limits, neurotic and otherwise, to be moved in more senses than one, to overcome fears, and find n3ew strengths and joys in adversity
- - for seeing and practicing all demons are diamonds,
- - and for so much more courage persistence and patience and love, solidarity,
- - for us all to see how we've developed through this struggle against cruel discrimination, brutal inhuman prejudices
- - for not ever giving up, we've won things, need to win back all our benefits and more help from govt if we want to work on our terms
- - its not over; we SHALL overcome.

Christ do we have to have the same massive screenshot(s) over and over again! 😕

BREAKING NEWS: Last night, the Government won a vote to cut benefits that will push hundreds of thousands of sick and disabled people into poverty. [1]
Make no mistake: the Government is trying to rush these changes through. We’ve only got ONE WEEK until another crucial moment and Keir Starmer will be hoping the public won’t notice so he can get his cruel cuts through Parliament.
But MPs are already feeling the pressure, that’s why last night saw the biggest rebellion of Keir Starmer’s time as leader so far. They’ve seen our petitions, read our letters and heard our demands - meaning some are speaking out.
Now’s the time to redouble our efforts, be bolder than ever and demand these cruel cuts are stopped, before it’s too late. [2]
Milan, will you sign the petition and add to the huge public backlash before these cruel cuts come back to Parliament next week? We only have seven days to show the Government what we - the public - expect from them:
I’LL SIGN1 -
Not everyone is great with technology @bellatango but we do not berate community members for joining in to offer support and reassurance. 😊

Please 🙏

I get that albus, but the same thing doesn't need to be repeated over and over. Support and reassurance is what we all need in these really difficult times and there are lots of wonderful knowledgeable people on here at times, but a little consideratation for others works both ways.
It has certainly made me not want to read here as much and I'm sure you don't want to be driving people away either.

Thanks for the feedback @bellatango, it's always appreciated. We're working on something, don't worry. 😊
But in the meantime, if anyone needs to raise any issues, I'd say it's best to email us privately at community@scope.org.uk or DM @Community_Scope 😊

Thank you. Whatever improves the experience for ALL members is appreciated, so the fact you're working on something sounds good. For now I shall use the ignore feature, though that does fragment the discussion somewhat, so not ideal.
No offence intended to anyone, but it just needed saying and I think feedback is good. I will say no more on it now.
Thanks.
