wow that’s interesting as I watch a couple of channels on YouTube and they’re a bit worrying. Do you remember how old this video is you watched or what it was called roughly as I’d like to watch it. Thank you 🙏

I'm confused that Scope recently and belatedly deleted some of my comments because they were "potentially misleading".
Either they are or they aren't! Which comments I have no idea unless they tell me! I haven't commented on this thread for ages..

None of it makes sense, they want to toughen up the WCA but what would be the point of a Work Capability Assessment if only LCW would exist?
JasonRA, once upon a time there was a Personal Capability Assessment (PCA) to determine entitlement to Incapacity Benefits (IB). One outcome was no entitlement ie able to work.
IB was replaced by Employment and Support Allowance with two tiers of entitlement. Removing one of the tiers leaves 'fit-for-work' as an outcome of the WCA. Same as it ever was.

Oh wow I really hope he’s correct on this . Though if he is and they intend to make the savings purely from tackling fraud why did they fight Ellen Clifford in court ? It still gives hope so thank you for that 🙏

Starmer as a human rights lawyer must know this plus Ellen Clifford won her case.

hi Catherine , someone on here ( maybe a different thread ) just mentioned a YouTube video by someone called A different bias . The video is about 2-3 weeks ago and called what we know about labour benefits reforms ( something like that , brain fog here ). If this person is correct on what they say it’s certainly made me feel better about the situation. Not sure if you’ve already seen it but was pretty good and positive.

Thanks. I've just done his pip review. It arrived on the 21st Dec 24 letter was dated 13th December got to be back by the 13th January 25 didn't give me enough time to do so I asked for an extension which I got thank god.
Can someone answer me a question please when we get the migration letter we have to each open an account then we have to merge together with a code so then do we have to just fill one account in I don't understand.

my award is up next April so I should get my form anytime this year . I’m hoping for a paper based assessment ( as I’m sure we all are) this time as I’ve heard they’re doing more of them.

My worry that it's smoke screens for bank checking and control saying going after benefit cheats what if AI like post office scandal would it be one day they tell us what can spend money on apples agreed to let the government access to I phones it's very sinister to me are they collecting data to see what benefits money been spent on personally I don't trust them how come this was pushed back when tories tried it now it's going through the corrupt government being able to look at our accounts at anytime just as we're about to go onto uc mmmmm also saving money on millions who haven't done the change over no one knows why they didn't change over some people probley didn't have anyone and not understanding or never open mail
