About the PM's (Sunak's) speech: Stop demonising us

This in addition to the other comment today:

    Dear Stephen Doughty MP,

On writing ON the above comment to my MP which was at 12:07 pm (7 minutes past 12 day time)  I cc it to 5 others, in 9 minutes I received 3 replies and an invitation to join a Zoom Metting today at 18.00 today to TALK, about proposals made, not only by me, but to the people who will make a difference comming soon since this is really not a political thing, it about getting the right sort of help today, here, and now.  Not as a political adgenda.  I really could not care who you voted for as long as you voted.  This is the start of a LEVEL PLAYING FIELD.  If who you voted for did or did not get in and again you still want to make a difference, then open your eyes and see the news of how the DWP has now stopped further assessments under the New Social Care Act.  Why?  because there was no consultation except from certain areas they wanted to get good reading from.  What I saw was their ability to change wording in a document that on the surface of those that only read the first 6 or 8 pages of a document look as though they are doing something at last.  WRONG, why would you want to alter a system of benefits that at least (most with a fight) pay some financial reward to assist the sick, Disabled, (whether from birth or accident to an able bodied person) or long term sick, say from the recent pandemic, (long Corvid) and replace it with a voucher system to pay for Aids or Adaptions that you don't have and applied for and didn't get because a decision Maker says you are not entitled to it?
  The change to the system should and was made, when we let Universal Credit continue because it would make IT EASIER TO KEEP ALL your information, BOTH MEDICAL AND FINANCIAL on one computer and then state in small letters under the declaration that "in signing this declaration I allow the DWP to keep this information, which will only be given to PEOPLE WE DEEM AS NECESSARY, TO ALLOW (UNIVERSAL CREDIT) OTHER GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS TO NOT HAVE TO SEEK PERMISSION AND STATE THEIR PURPOSE, or to allow Assessors APROVED BY US to receive this information or any information contained in the form filling claim for BENEFITS.  So, when you combine 6 benefits into 1 you end up with a financial loss of around £80+ a MONTH?  If 1+1+1+1+1+1=6  Then how when you combine 6 benefits into 1 you end up  1+1+1+1+1+1=4?  We know why yet we let it carry on.  The Disabled have always been a good target along with the NHS, They "improved the system" and took it away from the NHS who allowed the DWP to "farm out" assessments to a system that they wanted called Private Investment companies in America and France, that we know are ATOS, Maximus, Concentrix and Capita, who all run an American style PRIVATE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, WHERE you have to have private health care before being seen?  Where is the NHS NOW?  longer waiting lists for routine operations, longer waiting lists for seeing a GP, longer waiting lists for treatment, longer waits for dental care, instant removal of benefits if you don't report any treatment at A & E that because they are hours and go past midnight are NOW CLASSED AS AN OVERNIGHT STAY IN HOSPITAL, irrespective of whether you get seen or not?
   Access to your bank account as you sent them in an income and expendature form believing that that you would get help in Rent reduction, yet in proving in one case that they were £350/month under the threshhold for paying tax still said they had an excess of income and reduced the claim accordingly  by 20% and 65%  against the applicable amount SET BY THEM?  no tax rebate either.
  My point to all this is we are fed up of being pidgeon holed and left to have care from family members because the system says they cannot be paid for what they do as this then becomes another source of income to them?  That food banks which were designed to help those that the government decided that the figure they pay is enough to support a family unit or single person and if you can't manage get a job, Margret Thathcher attitude still in use today.  So why do we have FOOD BANKS THEN.  What of those that cannot work because their doctor says no?  Or the period of healing says 30 weeks and the government says 10 irrespective of whether the result is good or bad and lets have you in to get you back to work even if you have ongoing mental issues that prevent you.
  If you want to stay on the side lines then don't complain when sending in Medical information about you and they use THEIR SYSTEM to assess whether you get benefits or not.  I AM NOT WAITING.

It's terrible mental health got much worse with all this going on.
I have other Conditions as well which are bad enough. 

Mine too, it occupies my mind constantly and it's all I've talked about in therapy for months now. My therapist is leaving soon and not being replaced and instead of being able to do as much work on my MH as possible before she goes, we're firefighting my suicidal ideation because I can no longer see a future for myself for the sole reason that if they push through all the changea they propose, I will be homeless and lose everything. It's absolutely disgusting that their power hungry electioneering is using us (and refugees) as emotional punchbags and if it were some other group like pensioners there would be an outcry. I would not be surprised at all if some people have already harmed themselves over this. 

As I stated this should not be about Vote hunting.  We have Laws that protect the Sick and Disabled along with Pensioners, NHS, Bank Charges, Homelessness, Food Banks, I could go on.  Yet look back over 10 years what have we achieved?
  I said we.....  Because its not about who is in Parliament, its about how we have asked the system of Assessment, benefit payments sickness benefits, etc, and what has actually changed?  2008, 2011, 2014 saw changes toi the benefits system and in 2008 when ATOS "handed back a £650 million contract" because they wanted to protect their employees from VERBAL ABUSE, ON A DAILY BASIS, what changed?  We suddenly had Universay Credit, and look how that has turned out....
  I feel sorry for not only you but all recent and past claimers of any benefit since the system is being run by people who unless they have had a disability or a loved one that has been affected in some way, DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM.
  They are the ones that enforced it.  I say enforced since they do what they were told. 
  MAKE THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS, AND INSTEAD OF SPENDING MILLIONS IN COURT FEES TO PROTECT THE DECISION MAKERS IN tRIBUNALS, FORCE THEM NOT ONLY TO PAY BACK PAY, but to pay COMPENSATION to everyone affected by the decisions they make.  EVERY ONE AFFECTED, including UNPAID CARERS, MINIMAL HOME CARE AND ALLOWING SIBLINGS TO LOOK AFTER MUM AND DAD who have mental issues, and the only way left it to have them sectioned.  The house to be sold to pay for treatment that was on the NHS? 

Morning, I don't know how true this is and I didn't know until I went to reply on here now long this topic was. I am sorry, if this has been mentioned on here before but, when I put my P.C this morning I am sure it mentioned about someone is taking this all to the European Court of Human Rights on how they are treating us. I don't spend much time reading things on the news pages as I am trying to not do this now-a-days as I usually end up really upset. If the token thing happens it will not help me or the catalogue thing either as I cannot keep going out everywhere to get things as it is too much for me.
