My cerebral palsy won't go away because I have less money! I agree. Since this has come from the Lords, this feels like a betrayal. There were many members of the Lords who were sympathetic to people on PIP.

I know, I'm rather surprised and annoyed myself.
thankfully I doubt this will go further, putting people such as yourself on a pittance during a cost of living crisis won't be easy to sell to many.
luckily the sort you would see on the daily mail comments section and hiding behind a keyboard anonymously on twitter etc aren't typical in my experience.
I live in a town which has until this last election always been conservative, I've lived here all my life and I've literally only ever met 3 people like them.

Do you think thier push this through

I don't think so. It was suggested by the head of the committee. The head of the committee is a Tory. don't think everyone in the Lords will share his views.

overall MOST the lords are actually compassionate.

Nightcity, the letter published on 20th Jan came from the committee. It seems balanced Lab/Cons/Lib and cross-party members.
Sir John Bird co-founder of The Big Issue was not remotely sympathetic towards benefit claimants when I heard him speak in the Lords a few years ago.

I written to my MP asking her if this doesn't disappear if she'll vote against it.
I think our lives are miserable enough.
I don't know a single person who claims lcwra for extra money, they claim it because they're entitled to it to cover their genuine inability to support themselves in a job.
these toffee nosed fools should be made to prove this ridiculous theory of theirs and not in just a tiny handful of rare cases.

Im thinking how different is from the wca cuts found unlawful ?? My thinking is if you unable to work it should be classed as a wage that you would get if you worked and didnt starmer get rid of a few lords and got otherson his side my rational mind is saying thier grasping at straws courts say cuts unlaw and he comes out with everyone should get the same so more cuts they must have been so angry after court case

Because I don't worry about the DWP or government I can read things without it affecting me, so I spent the whole day on and off looking at various sites, articles and subjects.
my conclusion is this government is extremely unpopular with many different groups of people.
I can also see there's serious backstabbing both within the government and between parties towards the government, I've seen sarcastic snipes across social media and extreme anger in comments sections.
there's been worry amongst them and plenty of backlash and warnings.
Therefore I am extremely confident that most of what they would like to do not just with welfare but with most areas will crash and burn along the way or in a courtroom.
There are more laws and clauses protecting us than I realised as well.
I visited old articles and similar "ideas" We've seen before and they always crash and burn or Take years.
the equality act prevents imposing of requirements that go against what a person can comply with.
so for example someone who is agoraphobic can refuse to visit a job centre
or someone who gets suicidal or aggressive, frightened causing inappropriate behaviour when forced to interact with either strangers, unfamiliar places or both could refuse point blank to interact with JCP at all.
in those examples and others if you were then sanctioned or harassed you are covered.
I see many activists are also ready to go to court if need be too.
in final summary, please just relax and enjoy the here and now and let the government nuke itself.

I don't like to get heavy but…
courts say cuts unlaw - once again, the consultation was ruled unlawful not the proposals.
so for example someone who is agoraphobic can refuse to visit a job centre - The Health Transformation Programme aims to 'help' a claimant with agoraphobia by inviting them into a job centre..

fair enough, but if the agoraphobic feels they aren't well enough any sanction etc would backfire.
the DWP and jcp don't "help" anyone they destroy lives and then bury the suicide stats, and put people in the state that poor Catherine is often in.

There's nothing fair about it. We've had 14 years of austerity and DWP failures.
Labour has published reports well worth a read.
