Well said mike, reading other posts it come across that many posters like myself see and hear from claimants who give the impression that they are not as bad as they are portraying. As we don’t live with them 24/7 it’s only a snap shot of what maybe their life is really like. Mike you have worked, been with people who have severe MH problems while most of us have I expect have only seen MH patients on their weekly shopping trip with their Carer. We have to be more educated and view people’s conditions with compassion and not jump to the wrong conclusion. Easy to do so we all must keep an open mind.
Hi everyone, can I please remind you all of f the community guidelines. It is important to remember that words read online don’t always convey tone or context and so may be misinterpreted, therefore it is important to consider language and audience.

I think we can have interesting debates with very differing opinions, but this is a safe space for everyone and I hope all members can remember that they can put their opinions across without being confrontational.

⬇️ I created one of the campaign election videos for Labour, and Jeremy Corbyn, This is a new version of Emeli Sande, Hope "You Are Not Alone
I highlighted everything that's wrong with this country from benefits, NHS, UC etc, but now we have to put up with the hate now that is the Tories.
This is a public forum where anyone can comment in a reasonable way. It is not a private consultation forum such as a one to one in an office setting.
Yes @Matilda hope your well, and you also right everyone has the right to speak and give their reasons and opinions.
By the way Matilda have you heard anything at all since you've had your ongoing PIP, I haven't, and still awaiting what the (light touch review) is at the ten year point which they the DWP were going to publish at the end of this summer?
