Just read your post, about sending Esa50 back. I sent mine back in January still not heard anything. Still getting payment. I rang dwp, automatic message that if you sent back Esa50 they will contact you

I really don't get it all. So a court challenge 10th - 11th Dec but it say's online it could be weeks after that for a verdict.
If (can) Liz Kendall bring out a white paper before that (doesn't anyone know when is said?). If it is different to Tory proposals does that make the court case null and void?
If it was disagreed with would another court case have to be initiated?
I presume nothing can be made law with an outstanding court case.
So I will just keep worrying then. This has been hanging over us all a year now.

I do wonder if people maybe confused. I thought it was a change of home could trigger a change from ESA to UC.
That said I sell a few crafted hobby items and it seems to be selling more Xmas I guess but it is getting me down. I have thought okay just stop it and it went through my head they could reassess me for stopping a hobby that was making me feel down.
It is psychological warfare the whole thing. Evil!

Stop worrying about that all they care about is if you have £6000+ in ur account they are not looking at what you are spending ur money on

This might sound daft, but with all this hanging over our heads, the odd time you find yourself laughing at something, do you stop in your tracks. I do. I think ,I'm laughing in this moment ,even just very briefly, but tomorrow I could be on my knees with worry. I'd say majority of my day for the past 4 years has felt like doom n gloom, so very few moments of joy. I feel like we aren't even allowed that. My MH is sliding day on day.

I totally know where you coming from , I can't believe the old government and the new, think the only way to pay back for pandemic.is give disabled people mental anguish, anybody would think we where living in1924 not 2024 😢

My MH is sliding all the time. I am starting to see things and hear things and have to challenge if it is real or not. I can just at the moment convince myself it is not real.
If I have a psychotic incident then they will be to blame.
Even if I go into town I think people standing on street corners are working for DWP and spying on what I am doing.

I can relate to that , my only joy in life is my emotional support dog, If I put walking her, I also feel paranoid about the dwp watching me, I ending up with blood clots on my lungs from inactivity where I could leave the house, due to severe anxiety, so my dog suggested a dog, where I have to get out and walk , I only walk in fields where hopefully I don't bump into anyone, but with everything that going on I wonder if they watch my house , and me going out to walk the dog , and say well you fit for work then, my anxiety is through the roof ,

I am also the same with car's parked outside my house. Thinking it is the DWP waiting for me to go out. Sometimes I am so convinced I don't go out.

It really is awful and I am a very high dose of anti psychotics that they can't put the dose up any further. I had to stop going on the bus because I thought some of the other passengers were DWP spies.

They do control my whole mind. I get the phone being hacked by them as well. Also my computer randomly flashes and I think it is them monitoring how long I spend online.

Liz Kendal is on bbc parliamentary chanel at 6.30 am tomorrow morning answering questions about the welfare budget.
I don't know if its a repeat of what she already said but I have set it to record.

To be fair ,I think we are worrying unnecessarily , but they are putting the fear of God in us, just for having MH problems,that they don't seem to understand, and tired to use the divide and conquer method so people, start to think we are just lazy , and should give ourselves a good shake and get on with it, if only they lived one day inside our heads !
