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

Thanks, Poppy. Another purely practical obstacle re both disabled and able-bodied returning to work is the jobs have to exist. So much is hot air that doesn't translate to real life. OK, say there are 50 vacancies in Skegness and 50 people looking for work in Southend. Even if the Southenders were willing to move, which they might well not be because they couldn't find anywhere to live in Skegness, they have elderly parents to care for in Southend, their children are about to take exams and so on, the people in Southend have to be able to do the jobs in Skegness or have to train first,

What worries me is that nobody is talking about the cuts that already happened, not even the Greens. The bedroom tax, the cuts to council tax benefit, and worst of all the removal of disability premiums from ESA to UC. These leave us thousands of pounds worse off yet no-one is saying a word about them. I just can't manage to lose any more money, I have lost so much already including also the warm home discount I no longer get either after getting it for years. I don't know how I'll manage when all my TP has eroded, it's just impossible.

I wouldn't expect there to have been any mention of disability premiums because in the UC regulations they don't exist. Yes, I too receive SDP with my ESA. I also receive carers allowance so will eventually be even worse off.

What do you mean just £400/month? I've already advised you on other threads many times. Your UC will include standard allowance for single person, LCWRA element, housing element and TP element.

No, no one expects that at all. You're panicking and not helping yourself because you're constantly keep reading various things on the internet. My advice to you would be to please stop reading things. When you are invited to apply there will be help and support out there for you.

You're welcome.

If you are in the support group on UC you get £138 a week, just looked it up

I be getting less than my esa with disabilities
