I'm all for access to Iphone users, provided that it is across the board, all civil servants and politicians need to provide access to their Iphones too, that will never happen so point is moot. (sarcasm)
I also fully support the use of vouchers, provided that all politicians and civil servants get paid in vouchers too…

this is the very reason I won't put a PIP claim in. How crazy a system that gives you a fear to not apply for what you are entitled.

Ironically it was the Tory talk of only paying extra money under UC to those getting PIP, that pushed me into trying. I'd moved two years before into an accessible home, and thought what the heck now is my best chance.
In June I was awarded Enhanced for both, 6 years from a paper based assessment. The money has improved my life so much.

I probably wouldn't actually do a Reform Vot
I probably wouldn't do a reform vote but it is how angry they are making me feel to even think it. I voted them in because I thought I would get a small peace of mind but the mind bashing games continue I really didn't expect them too. The state of my mind gets a little bit worse everyday and has been for easily 18 ish months now.
A family member of mind say similar to you that as the next GE comes along they will probably start giving thing away left right and centre.
Well they can start with the bedroom tax and some !!

So it would be easier for someone with walking difficulties to go and do a full shop around Asda rather than a home delivery.
DWP WCA PIP Assessors MP's are on another planet.

Hi everyone, we've started to go off the topic a bit here so just be aware! Let's try to bring it back to the original discussion if we can please, so everyone can follow along a little easier.
Of course, feel free to make a new discussion if you'd like to start up or carry on some conversations on other topics 😊

The comments in that article show that many are believing the lies.
We also have to remember the modern form of support from the DWP is sanctions and cuts (financial incentives). It isnt even accurate in terms of the dictionary definition but they have been allowed to lie for so long now.0 -

It’s just unbelievable. I was literally told to by a work coach via my partner aswell cause the work coach thought that I should be eligible for it because I need so much help with basically everything involving another person, communicating etc and the woman on the phone tricked me so it’s made everything 10x worse if I’m honest with you I’ll never be answering my phone again, not like I did really anyway. Then on the other hand I don’t want to be judgmental but I know people who get it who don’t seem to struggle nearly as much as me who have had it accepted without a fuss at all. It just depends if the assessor is a decent human being or not. It’s going to MR now so I’m expecting the next few months to be absolute hell. I don’t know why the government think it’s so easy to get PIP when they do things like this so they really need to shut up about making it more difficult cause it’s difficult enough.
