    I've had over 20 years of NHS mental healthcare but I'm still ill. Some of us have lifelong mental distress and not all of us have a neat lable for it, mine is as a result of years of childhood trauma. I don't have a mental illness, I'm just very broken. So my official label if you can call it that is dysthymia with anxiety, a quick google would suggest this to be a mild problem but it's really not. I worry greatly that I would be in the firing line under any attacks on MH.

    I just looked it up it said long lasting disorder so that says it all its nit going away and alongside with therapy support your always going to have this disorder some people don't have support so seeing you been around mental health for 20 years says alot

    Obviously picked her to crackdown on people!! We have to hold them to rights all of us flood them with emails not having years of same....... I'm sure charities unions will be fighting for us? I knew in my gut the morning wasn't happy I'm sure thier going ahead with workwell scheme get us all on UC so easier to contact they say you can start a job if doesn't work out go straight back to benefits tackle backlog of wca claims tighten criteria from 2025 get round to us 2026 maybe ? Reassessment under tighten criteria faze out wca pip only disabled benefits which will literally harder to get than already is these are my thoughts and reading between the lines hope understand I message from my mind

    Just caught Rachel Reeves on gb news but it cut off before she said any more about making work pay yes Liz kendal is dwp minister unfortunately

    ^I don't think she'll go after PIP. Rachel Reeves is taking Jeremy Hunt's job and she did say if Labour get in, she'll leave PIP alone. We'll know more when parliament resumes.

    The thing is not to panic yet, starmer may do a re shuffle. And also don't some of these things have to go through the house of Lords. Also if disability groups like scope etc get involved they may listen. Also they probably go after those who are able to work and choose not too first, plus they want to focus on young people.

    Liz kendal on Facebook I've been scrolling through her page
