The ex-DWP's in Starmer's cabinet have rehearsed their lines for years and seem far too pleased with themselves.
The Deputy Leader disappoints me the most having been a former benefits claimant and single parent herself. Her grinning infuriates me.

I think it will generally be for new claimants I'd say we get few years and ellen clifford going judicial court 10th December might not be as bad as we think

Whatever Labour decide I cannot and I will not work ever again.
I had to take early ill health retirement from my career and my health/disabilities have been gradually getting worse and worse.
I am 61 in November and I will have to live off my retirement savings until I get my state pension if I lose pip and they say "work pays".
What a joke that is!

Thank you but I am on means tested benefits so I do not qualify for this UC thing whatever it is.
I haven't looked into it other than reading about it on here and the benefitsandwork site.

Sorry, but I don't feel some of your comments in this thread are ending up feeling at all helpful @MissMel . Surely, if we, as disabled people, want respect, we should continue to be respectful to others. I agree fully with @michael57
As regards PIP, then you may be able to claim this whether working or not, & I don't think being a member of a union has the slightest thing to do with this benefit.
Not all people that claim ESA or UC work, whether in full or part time employment. Many of our members claim these benefits because of their inability to work, so I'm confused as to your 'argument.' Many people are also in receipt of both PIP & ESA, or PIP & UC, or PIP, UC & ESA…..

MissMel, as another victim of foul play I very much want to hear more from you and I'm not the only one.
The manager of my job centre told me 8 years ago there was "no such thing as social security".

I think we all know there has been an incredible amount of media speculation recently, & I don't put much credence to any of it. it doesn't matter whether PIP or UC has been mentioned; none of it matters.
I think the 'concept,' if that's the right word, about those on disability benefits being 'scroungers,' has been again due to long past media. There's nothing in what we know about the current govt to suggest this. The current govt rather seems to be thinking of ways to get more people into employment; disabled or not, this comes with it's own challenges.
About disabled people, this rather seems to be looking at those disabled people who can work being helped into employment. There's absolutely nothing that has been said about those disabled people who simply cannot work being somehow forced into employment….
I'm sorry for the personal experience you have had, & hope things get resolved. Fortunately most don't have an experience as negative as yours..
