Liz Kendall has demonstrated again and again that she has no detailed knowledge of disability and the relevant benefits for it. Ignorance of this level is dangerous

I won't say what I really want to because I love it here and don't want to be banned.
so the politer, shorter version is, I'm furious and This woman is a dangerous disease on legs that needs putting in her box by those with more influence. Anyone who thinks it's ok to push their greedy, obsession onto people who are on the edge and vulnerable is evil and on another planet.

This is still a 'policy proposal' - to be detailed in the forthcoming White Paper.
White Papers can be debated before a Bill is introduced, and may invite comments from the public. This allows for further discussion and consultation with affected groups, and for final changes to be made before the Bill is formally presented to Parliament.
It is not yet policy.
Best wishes

OK thankyou jonny if it got passed how long would that take pls oh she's evil evil imagine that dosed up on tablets at your lowest thankyou for responding

It's a long way off - if it ever gets passed at all. Don't worry about it now, I am sure people with lived experience of MH and basically anyone with common sense will seek to inform her of what a terrible idea this is. As you say Catherine, imagine the carnage that would occur!

hey @Catherine21 usual from me, the process I sent you has to be followed.
I can't see this taking off people are angry at the suggestion alone, myself included.
as before remember the white paper is just a wish list of what they hope to get away with, anything they realise they can't will disappear before a bill becomes law.

I'm so close to giving up. They have no idea what they're doing. If they think that people who are so seriously mentally ill they are hospitalised can be 'incentivised' to get a job, then they themselves are insane.
What worries me now is what might be their presumption about people who have managed not to be sectioned. I've been having weekly therapy for over 20 years, it's kept me alive and out of hospital but I'm still hanging by a thread everyday.
Deciding not to unalive yourself does not automatically cure severe depression or make it possible to successfully manage daily life, never mind be employed.
I gave up having health screening tests years ago, I might have decided not to take negative steps as it stands, but I can't bring myself to take positive steps to prolong my life either.
Right now I feel like I don't care anymore. I've spent years being active on forums, writing to my MP, filling in green papers etc etc. I can't be bothered anymore...

I've been down a rabbit hole this morning, searching for part time job with no pressure from home.they just don't exist. I'm going to buy a laptop ready incase. I kind of feel like maybe this scare mongering is to see how many they can scare back to work ! I just don't know how I will do it. It's not fair that she's put pressure on to so many mh people. As for going into hospital when people at lowest there must be a law against this!!
It's opening up doors for employers to also do this. My last two employers didn't believe mh was a disability and wouldn't make adjustments!!!

my attitude is unusual to most, it's basically refusal to cooperate with anything that will worsen my health, At the end of the day they can't "force" you to do something you genuinely can't whatever that may be, and then if they start issuing threats issue them back, if they threaten to stop your income bluff them and say well keep it then and I'll be seeking legal advice about discrimination and harassment.
I'm not advising this to others I'm stating what I do, and they always panic and back down.

2020 I recieved my review for pip I was really angry I wrote everything in the form called them liers oh everything said they don't follow 2010 equality act why ask all these questions as you refuse everyone I said don't you dare put me through what you did in 2016 lied on whole report i was raging didn't care I got paper based and more money in 2016 when she lied on my report triggered me so badly I was phoning up everyday raging complained a million times everyday I said you want to see what happens when someone mentally ill pushed to limits obviously wouldn't suggest anyone do that but they had no choice but to listen

I can't believe Kendall is speaking so lightly on this inhumane and discrimitary plan on the very day the Assisted Dying Bill is being discussed in the House of Commons which already has many disabled people feeling desperately afraid. It's disgusting treatment of the most vulnerable AGAIN

And what if one of the contributing factors leading to being on a ward is the benefits system? How does that work? Feeling there is no escape route could be catostrophic.
