The question is what if you can't work does one cap fit all

I have no idea, that's all what I could see, it 136 pages.
Green party more favourable to.disabled but the small parties don't get anywhere unfortunately due to our voting system. I suppose we find out more whoever comes into power. You could email Kier Starmer and might find out sometime or put your fears forward

That’s under the Tories plans. All it said in the manifesto is what summerlove has stated.
It didn’t mention anything specific about disability benefits.1 -
Sick of it all labour no different and not mentioning is even worse the turmoil fir months off tories now labour secret squirrel how much more thier pushing me and loads of others to far

I’m really unsure how to feel about the Labour manifesto. It’s incredibly vague and has no mention of PIP (unless I have missed that part)
My fears haven’t seemed to have eased

It's obvious thier go with tories plan why leaving out because it will be uproar sick of us getting treated like noting who's next best party to vote for obviously not tories reform I'm raging
1 -
the issue is the disabled are never offerebd a seat at the table. It’s always able bodied/minded people making decisions on our behalf without consulting us first. It’s so mentally taxing and I’m just more confused than reassured at this point.

I'm raging absolutely raging months of tories beating us down Now the only hope acting like snakes thier going to do exactly the same as tories work well scheme force us all to go to training in a back street office learning scwat most of us unable to go be sanctions this was the last bit of hope and shock horror we are none the wiser that speaks volumes

all we can hope for is they continue having a minister for the disabled and they consult with charities to see the impact their policies will have on us.

You know pls excuse spelling dyslexic you know the policy tories had for WCA changes was anyone who was on LCW or LWCRA wouldn't be reassed it would be new claimants so I thought have at least two years of being OK but now here we go again

I say again, no news is good news in this case. Labour cannot come out in direct support of benefit claimants, the Tories and their presa have ensured that it's just not possible to do that in an election because they have succeeded in demonising us all in the eyes of many swing voters.
A word of extreme caution, I am active on a few forums and I have seen today a HUGE amount of new or anonymous accounts declaring that this silence means that Labour 'will be worse than the Tories' and terrifyingly either suggesting we all vote Tory or Reform. I am DEEPLY suspicious of this activity and the timing of it, I know we are all scared and they may be some who genuinely believe this, but I would ask people to be cautious about jumping on this particular bandwagon. Ths facts are we KNOW what the Tories will do because they've said, (and of course already done, repeatedly) we do NOT KNOW what Labour will do.
For me, Labour cannot do worse to me than the Tories.

I know I hear you but my question is why not we deserve to know. What our future entails no

Oh OK I read again I get your point I'm just rabbit in headlights

WWe all are I think, it's understandable that we will think only the worst, who can blame us. However last time Labour were in power there were almost no food banks, almost no sanctions, no bedroom tax, no benefit cao, no 2 child policy and the list goes on. Times may have changed, but Labour still stand for the same principles, to not make the poorest pay for the mistakes of the rich. They WILL be better, let's fact it with what the Torie have done and say they'll do again, how could Labour possibly be worse!

It annoys me ,is the media saying the welfare bill is so high and blaming those on sick and disabled. I get so annoyed, do they not think we like being in pain, unable to do things. Mine won't get better it's chronic and one is genetic. Only to get worse. Oh yes I love being like this. What do they think . I used to work until last year.when the job caused one of these. Why pick.on the vunerable. The torys wasted all that money during covid with false bogus contracts . All that money with the non existed Rwanda scheme .HS2 .and have a go at us, belittle us. Make us scared and worried about what's going to happen. There ok because there rich.
