We need to start a petition to get every MP to state what they are doing to reverse the Disability price tag that does not support the disabled community or those on long term sick>

    It is the extra costs that disabled people need to have the same standard of living as non-disabled households, the latest figures show disabled households need an extra £1,095 each month on average @Catherine21

    Sorry again for not being on the site very often, but meeting are now becoming a daily thing.

    I have a zoom meeting with Wes Streeting at 5.30 today so I need to get ready for that to discuss the NHS in general among other topics raised including disability.

    Actually very good. It only reiterated what I was already doing. And It the meeting in the night, put our vote for four candidates to come onto the short list of 8, and placed into the Senedd race for Labour.

    There was also a discussion as to our Second Stage Manifest for a race to the next elections .

    I will contact Admin about that to make sure points I have raised are including SCOPE and disability discussions and payments, and other topic's that have been discussed with SCOPE.

    I have another meeting tonight at 7.00pm and there are many topics under discussion. They do include the Judicial System, Benefit Payment, and especially the statements made today about how they are going to fund the 'Black hole' that the benefits and welfare state have caused Britain to raid the very people it is supposed to support.

    Question: When is a benefit not a benefit? When the DWP, which is supposed to support us, make statements like Mr Western has made to allow them to even think about it, let alone make that statement in parliament.

    I have been speaking to MP's and AM's along with Councillors that are supposed to be supporting the community they represent. AND, just to say, I'm not a happy bunny, is an understatement, including people who are supposed to give us support so farr as Disability payments and Health Care.

    I have actually contacted Senior Mental Health Nurses, Care Homes that cater for 24/7 Dementia Patients, I have spoken to A&E nursing and Doctors' Staff, administrative staff and issues involved in running the systems we have. So if I can do that, why do people in paid positions not follow the same routes?.

    I am afraid I am annoyed at the system, so I will get champions placed in an independent body to look at the assessment system and also to look at the person who sets the funding for benefits for the disabled, to tell me what or who has worked out how we get benefits under the Human Rights Act, and under the agreements for assessment set in Laws and Charters that allow the chancellor to make statements about the welfare state payment cuts she will be making.

    I have invited many to come to an actual assessment, but it seems they have other things to do…… I don't, so accountability and the slave drive I have has logged all the invitations, to be discussed as to who are really representing us or anyone.

    I completely agree @Catherine21 We have no one to represent us at Tribunals since I do because how do you expect someone to go to a Tribunal when they have a mental health problem that has been caused by the very people hired to assess us for financial help?

    Whether you're a member of a Union or just someone without a job, or even someone who is Neurodiversant, there is no help, where even the CAB will not represent us.

    We are all classed as 'DISABLED' and easier to deal with, whereas the complexity of my disability, which is well documented over 30 years, still has to be assessed. NO, IT DOES NOT. I wish now to be assessed and find myself fit to work so I can earn some money and have a break. I'm getting tired of being Disabled.
