Ellen Clifford of DPAC (Disabled People Against Cuts) sadly didn't entirely grasp the 2016 reforms. I know that because we spoke once by telephone.
The UN reported their concerns in 2015/2016 of the potential "human catastrophe" if those proposals went ahead.
The current investigation is ongoing. No idea when it will report. I don't want to research it but anyone can.

Oh right so it's all been covered in 2016 ? Meaning it will be non void yes still ongoing I mean whats the most they can do if they find them guilty

No, I mean they warned us then.. We were kept distracted by the 2016 referendum, general elections and more.
My understanding is some but not all past Secretaries of State will be called to give evidence but prosecution is unlikely.

There is a judicial review in the pipeline regarding the WCA changes, but it seems to hinge on the allegation that the white paper was not sufficiently clear, not on the changes themselves. I think we would have to rely on the ECHR for that, probably why the Tories were so keen to get beyond their grasp.
Don't get me wrong, I know that things could change, but as they stand, the WCA IS being changed, and Labour have not yet come up with an alternative to the one that's already in the plans.
It's not possible not to worry about this when you might be the one targetted, believe me I try, every flippin day. The days I don't post on here are the days I manage to put it on hold, when I've no defenses and the worry is so bad it's making me feel like the end is coming, then I try to fight back.
It might seem like I'm giving up, or giving in to catastrophising, but actually what I'm doing is trying to do something constructive. If I don't, then I have nowhere to take it, and then I'm doomed.

I began emailing MP's and ministers in 2015 to stop these reforms going ahead. I also phoned every charity and campaign group going. I'm still waiting for everyone to catch up with what happened then but I'm encouraged that we've started!
I have 7 letters from my then MP full of nonsense about the ESA regulations. I have a handwritten letter from a Conservative Secretary of State repeating the lie and one from the shadow minister, Stephen Timms pretending not to know the rules he signed off in March 2008.

They could save billions if they addressed the problem of people who scam benefits, but it seems that it is too hard for our peers to do
Seems they just want the ones that are vulnerable and are truly entitled to what the benefits were built for in the first place to stick their heads between their knees and kiss their XXX goodbye
It is a dog-eat-dog system, not what it was intended for in the first place and it was supposed to address and help the people in need
I feel they are pushing us to our limits and then see what the outcome is,
They like putting plaster on wounds that have not been treated
Try playing DayZ MP's

Catherine, when I realised they expected me to give up because of the substantial risk of harm to myself and others, I knew I couldn't. I knew the suicidal ideation wasn't normal but that I'd survived each time. My concern was that other people might not have reached such lows so often to know recovery is possible. I also knew that my daughter would never understand the documents and administration I was dealing with to hold anyone to account. She's the same age as yours.The bereaved families from the first failed reassessment programme are why I'm still here.
My subsequent autism diagnosis allowed me to believe what I'd read despite what was being reported by the media and despite my MP's denials.

One thing that concerns me, is that if my monthly payment for UC is £809, I live in a care home on respite until a supported living flat becomes free and it is mostly paid for by Durham County Council, but I pay £626.776 towards it as a contribution. I am on LCWRA, so if this is stopped, I won't be able to afford it.
It's got me worried.

I don't know what your disabilities are it's looking like it's mostly for mental health so I'm thinking if yours is physical you may not be affected these are my thoughts only

Cerebral palsy is very debilitating mind and body nervous system affects most body parts ? I'm no expert I did read it wasn't for physical disabilities as much but mental health problems
