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

I don't know why they brought in UC , benefits were ok as they are. They make things so difficult and treats us harshly and like criminals. Having mental health problems and physical health issues are hard enough to deal with, without all this worry and being tarnished by the tories and media as scroungers.

Whoever is making decisions for us, we just need to find ways of ensuring they are taking our feelings and experiences into consideration. The consultation is one possibility, emailing new MPs is another if you are lucky enough to have one (I'm not, mine probably has already had enough of my emails about the DWP, LOL, although he did help me with my PIP claim back in 2017 so he's not all bad). And just supporting organisations like SCOPE because for some reason govts like talking to charities and organisations, not individuals.

Honestly I feel sick to my stomach about moving over to UC from esa, I had to go to a tribunal to get my esa. Why are they rushing it, when it was planned for a few years from now. By the sound of it they are making you worse off to push you into work, even though you may not be physically or mentally capable of doing it. I am struggling physically and my mental health worse with all this worry. I'm 57 so will find it hard to find work with my disability a d my age is against me

For those migrating from ESA their UC will only include the LCWRA element if they are in the Support Group for ESA. @Andi66 is not currently in the Support Group, they are in the WRAG. (based on information from another thread) their claim started after April 2017, which means if they are still in the WRAG when they migrated across their UC will include LCW but with no extra money for this element due to the date their ESA claim started.
