The Universal Credit Bill becomes law. Here are the changes to disability benefits you need to know

MPs are meant to work for their constituents yet when they stand up for constituents they get the whip removed 😡 I wish they’d vote no confidence and remove him

People here in Scotland gave them a chance. They've messed it up big style. I'm basing that on conversations with family, friends, and acquaintances.

My mission is to ensure my local constituency is fully aware our MP voted for these changes, and ensure he is a one-term wonder.

It's all I can do in the meantime.

I'm on ir esa , I was on CB esa for a year because I used to be a carer and on carers allowance. After that I was moved on iresa. I then was working 10 hours a week and on permitted work for 5 years, also get Pip. Had to give my job up in 2023 , due to ill health getting worse. So how does CB esa work ? Do you get it if you work full time. Would I be entitled to it when I move to UC , as I worked for 5 years

I find it amazing that I worked two years prior to being awarded incapacity benefit in 2009 and when they moved people over to ESA in 2013 I was placed in cbesa support group ( even though it was a mistake because they should of placed me in cbesa with IR top up ) although they rectified that with a back payment...…

But even now I'm still on cbesa just because of working 2 years prior to my claim

( actually i think it changed to new style ESA because in 2022 I voullentatrlly moved to UC , where I was automatically put in the lcwra group because of my support group status ) But my cbesa stayed separate although I think cbesa changes to new style when you go over to UC

But never the less new style ESA is still cbesa in another name .... And all these years later just because I worked two years before my claim started and there's been no break in it , I still qualify for cbesa / New style ESA ..... I find that rule strange , you would think they would reassess it after so many years of not working , not that I'm complaining , as you get your no credits towards your pension payed for

I used to be so active and worked all of my life and now I'm 55 years old and can't even cut my own food up let alone cook it, then you people from the housing association so what is wrong with you then and expect you to do exactly what they want but not one thought about how that makes people feel. Let alone being in constant pain and don't sleep at night, my husband is now my full time carer and our daughter is my young carer thanks to her school because they don't have a clue what safeguarding children means and put it in place so we pulled her out of school and we are homeschooling her now. But getting back to this I've found since being disabled people look and treat you differently than before and trying to get a mobility scooter on a bus is a nightmare because the driver doesn't seem to want to help you and other passengers stare, huff and puff until I get in the space provided.

So .....

those on ESA that are in the wrag .… ( either cbesa or new style ESA ) Are limited to normally 365 .... And ir ESA in the wrag has no end date

And for people on ESA that are in the support group CBESA , new style ESA , IR ESA ) there is no time limit ....

I get CBESA or New style ESA support group every two weeks , and lcwra at the end of the month .... Been like that for 3 years now
