    Stride always made me laugh, because even though he was allegedly in charge of the DWP, he showed time and time again he didn't even know how it actually worked. I can only conclude that he just sleptwalked his way through and got someone else to do his work for him, it's the only explanation for how utterly clueless he clearly was.

    I reckon Mel Stride knew what he was saying in those interviews,when talking about how PIP is an out of work benefit and we get paid thousands a month. Both of those things aren't true. A look on the DWP website,would tell you exactly what PIP is and how much you get paid.

    He said those things to justify the vouchers.

    Stride knew he definitely lied about the figures on PIP, he wanted to stir up hatred towards the disabled by thinking they are raking it in.

    people already on Lcwra.. will the new rules regarding assessments be for new applicants? Or people already on Lcwra? It’s very confusing

    That is what the Conservative government proposed. No-one knows what Labour is planning yet.

    Nope, if Labour go ahead with this it'll just be new claimants and anyone who comes off LCWRA and goes back onto it again. Apparently most people on LCWRA now will not be reassessed again. If Labour do anything bad to us it'll probably be in around 2028 or 2029, so we've got time to prepare, like saving money for a safety net or whatever.
