For some time i have been saying on here that the DWP has declared war on us disabled people.In the past my comments have often been removed by censors,which i do understand.However,nothing that has happened in the last few months has served to persuade me that i was wrong with my original assertion.I maintain that the DWP has set out to make things as difficult as possible for us.
After years of having to deal with these miscreants,my over-riding feelings are sadness and frustration.I,and many others,are often treated with contempt and hostility.I ask the rhetorical question…"How have things been allowed to become so bad?.."

jw68, miscreants is the right word for them.
I'm 100% persuaded that nothing has changed since I claimed Incapacity Benefits in 2006. DWP has knowingly put me at risk of harm and homelessness by denying my rightful entitlement ever since! I've told them I'm just waiting to retire so they'll leave me alone. They have no intention of leaving me alone just yet though 😔
I have identified what I believe is the root of the scam which is a 'Correction Slip' inserted into the ESA regs by IDS in June 2011 which was carried into the 2012 Welfare Reform Act unscrutinised and unchallenged.
It didn't correct anything; it corrupted the ESA regs. It was a corruption slip. I've tried and tried to explain it on this forum but members still believe it was so long ago that it no longer matters. It does.
In 2015, IDS suddenly spotted "a fundamental flaw in the regulations", new cuts were agreed and ESA was further corrupted by the removal of reg 29 -(2)(b) - exceptional circumstances - from the WCA process. That was the Welfare Reform and Work Act 2016.
Reg 35 -(2)(a)b) under Part 6 of the ESA regulations is the equivalent of reg 29 -(2)b) under Part 5.
In 2008, there was a Work-Related Activity Assessment (WRAAt) (Part 6) and a Work Capability Assessment (WCA) (Part 5) to determine eligibility for an award - in that order.

I wonder if any of this will be/can be legally challenged? It doesn't seem that the government is being very transparent regarding the Timms review.

Morning @Catherine21 it's been a lot recently hasn't it. I hope you're ok. Getting out might help a little (although the Dentist doesn't sound too fun😅). Maybe pop and treat yourself to a coffee and cake beforehand just to help take your mind off things if you can. 💛

These MPs and DWP are inhumane. They don't care one bit, just hounding people down who are vulnerable just to save a penny. This story is a disgrace and I hope the guy challenges the decision, takes it all the way to court and as far as possible to get his motability. 🙏
