So why is there such a back log?

I think this is all a consequence of the social model of disability, which gives politicians a tool to discriminate against people with disabilities. And it’s a pity to spend money on disabled people too.

Because the true owners of power do not want to spend money on the state apparatus 😁

Why do we keep needing to be moved onto another "new system" isn't this the reason why it's costly and time consuming?
They are migrating the IR six legacy benefit claimants onto UC. Then they plan to move those with LCWRA onto something else, even though we are being moved to make things easier 🤷
By 2029 won't we have had an election?

This is what I was first led to believe.
But raising the amount people on CA can earn will make no difference to most Carers as they are also on Universal Credit and so cannot even earn a £ before money starts to be taken from the benefit.
And I firmly believe they knew this.1 -
Wow, are you sure those numbers don’t include state pension DLA recipients? Sounds far higher than I imagined. Do you have a link for the data if you don’t mind? Thanks!

the BBC have a good podcast. It is called “The Today Podcast”. On 31 October Nick Robinson interviewed Rachel Reeves about her budget and this was followed by an analysis by Nick and his co-host Amos Rajan. It is available on BBC Sounds. I hope this helps to explain a bit about the budget and to allay some fears.

Legally I don't belive that they can backdate any changes to PIP
I have an email stating that I will receive the benefit for 10 years
How would this be rescinded?
