I haven't been able to post on the forum much because I have been too unwell but I just popped in tonight for a quick catch up.
Its so heartbreaking reading your comments and I am feeling pretty much the same myself.
Sending you all love. 💕

Whatever was said, Kendall doesn't seem to have taken much it onboard (if at all). She seems incredibly cold and just really...off. There's something about her I find really offputting.

exactly my thought when it’s brought up that the scope chairman had a positive meeting with Kendall when Labour first got voted in.
Been reading a lot of comments on twitter of ppl feeling like they’ve been conned by this Labour Party
Amazing that Labour leadership are acting like their 170 majority makes them invincible (their majority is as stable as a house of cards) - starmers learnt nothing from boris’s less shaky 80 majority and laughing about the Tory leadership situation (they are underestimating the power of the angry vote)

I think it's just existing not living, ever since last year and pip , everything seems to be getting worse from the government and dwp. Your just numb. You can't enjoy life and listen and read of what's next are they going to inflict their evil on. Honestly if it wasn't for my cats ,I rather not be here. I have chronic illness that's not getting better. In pain all the time, and breathless. Anxiety big time . My tablets for antidepressants weren't working anymore so I've come off them. Been on different ones for 12 years.
Having asd and asked the doctor to see if I have bpd. Because of trauma . Counselling don't really help. Started to be ok then all this worry and **** from other people who treat me like nothing. I'm 57. Feel worthless , scared about losing my benefit, scared about the eventual migration to uc.

So sorry what you went and are going through. I don't understand why politicians are like that towards us, those 2 that are going for tory leader ship are also like that. In disability news service website it shows that Kemi badanoch saying things about mental health and autism . They don't understand. They are cold callus individuals.

I voted for change. Didn't think I was voting for a change for the worse.
Losing LCWRA will collapse everything for me. I have had MH problems since childhood, haven't been able to work in a normal workplace or have anything to do with strangers since 1997. I had a part time job on my own in a home office working for an ex for a while, but the business took off and I had to leave, haven't worked since 2009 and my MH is so bad now I'll never work again.
I've learnt how to stay alive and out of hospital, if Labour don't change the Tory plans then I'll lose LCWRA and the money I need to keep my stable life will go with it. The pressures of the LCW group will be unachievable and I'll be immediately sanctioned.
I won't be incentivised into work, I'll just be made destitute. I don't want that life, who would? Would they?

I know exactly how you feel unfortunately, it is such a worry. I’m the exact same even the slightest pressure can tip me over the edge, i don’t know why they’re picking on people who are already fragile, it’s already a struggle to survive if they remove the LCWRA money I’ll be left destitute aswell. I was hoping they would lurch left after elected but I don’t even know what they’re doing right now.
other people here have said that nothing has been announced yet and that a lot is being thrown out to the media, so until the budget we can’t be for certain so I’m hoping for the best.
we’re all in this together and although it’s not a lot at least we’re not alone ❤️0 -
Surely this is against our human rights as a disabled. T

That's yet more speculation. How does this person know that when no announcements have been made.

I can't, my dog is only 1. If the plans become law I can't wait till 2028/9 because that wouldn't be fair to my dog. If she is destined for a new family then she deserves to go to them as soon as possible, it's hard to rehome older dogs and also I'll just be insanely depressed all the time knowing that I'll have to give her away. I won't wait till 2028, I'll be gone as soon as they make it law.

As some one who was made disabled due to a doctor "slip of the hand" I've worked all my life we know it's corrupt government that makes it hard for the normal people, untill my operation I was a fit fun loving PTSD guy PTSD was from the army.
Now I have pvpd,c.r.a.pain syndrome asthma and yep bad PTSD.
I dont know much about politics but is it not time some one other then the top two had a go at running it ? They messed up the hospitals here average waiting time in a ambulance is 10 hours that's before you get into AnE or CDU I went in on a asthma attack the waiting time was 18 hours. by the time I was seen I had managed to pull my self around only to be told I was wasting there time. There was a lady next to me who was brought in at the same time she was a waiting for help. She collapsed in her chair all I could do was hold her hand and try to get staffs attention. The way people are treated now Sucks 1/4 of us suffer a disability so why is know one in government trying to improve it .There is more and more to come from the damage COVID has done to our kids the number is set to rise.

sorry that people here are still struggling 😞 it makes me so sad to read what effect this is having on everyone.
Im just taking it day by day too at the moment - I’ve also read that there is a revolt happening in labour, I actually took politics for a little while in college (I didn’t get to finish because of my mental health) so I know a fair bit and although I’m still worried and some days are worse than others, in the back of my mind I have faith that the worst of this won’t go ahead, and even if it goes as far as legislation, we still have the House of Lords protection, the UN, the ECHR and the equality act 2010, as much as Reeves and Kendall think they’re the be all and end all, they’re just pawns in a massive system, and the mods are right, there are systems in place to protect us❤️
I’ve been in crisis so many times over this and I’m sick of these brainless politicians having such a horrible affect on my life so I’m trying to stay strong until at least the budget.
Sending love to anyone struggling and try not to let the b***ards win ❤️3 -
Once more those of us with MH problems are being treated as one size fits all. So let's rip any little bit of financial help away regardless of how unwell we feel.
I'd never downplay MH conditions or physical ones as nobody understands what the sufferer faces daily.
I can only speak for myself here when I say I've at least 9 conditions,and MH problems are in the mix over 40 years. Including Panic disorder. Do these idiots not realise we go to bed with our conditions and rise with them,we have numerous sleepless nights and they add to our fear and suffering by shoving multiple changes down our throats.
I know nothings set in stone yet but the intents there and so for us is the 24-7 worry.
I love horror movies ,dosen't mean I and others deserve to live in one daily.

Yes 100%❤️
Sunak was trying to get benefit reforms through before the election and the lords blocked it, I believe the UN investigation is still ongoing too into the treatment of benefit claimants by the DWP so hope is not lost.
I just wish the media/the government leaking to them would just stop until we get definite answers because it causes so much fear, not only for myself but clearly there’s hundreds if not thousands of people on here too😞0 -
I think it’s so wrong how MPs can claim heating allowance for their second homes, when their already on 100k++ a year and god knows how much more cause they all seem to do bits on the side too. And they vote for a pay rise for themselves every year it really is disgraceful

When my daughter was on Esa ,she has autism , I.was with her when she was on the phone to someone from the dwp , and they asked her will she get better from autism. Unbelievable This is what we are up against

That’s awful, they’re dealing with disabilities and health conditions there should be at least a basic understanding of how conditions work.
