in Benefits and income

It's been on the news again this morning about the government needing to make even more cuts to the benefits bill. I thought they were already going to do this in the spring budget which was causing me loads of stress and anxiety!! What on earth are they planning to cut even more of, we're already struggling with the cost of living crisis, energy bills going up again in April, food bills not coming down etc? Again they leave us in a state of panic, only saying more cuts are needed without telling us what these plans are until end of March, whilst the media specualte and terrify us on a daily basis with threats of making long term sick look for work, changes to PIP and WCA, one minute saying they won't be that harsh, then saying they'll be really strict!! Why is it always the poorest, sickest, and most vulnerable i society that pays the price for what's going on in the world? We did'nt cause the cost of living crisis, war in Ukraine, or that ridiculous clown Trump to be elected president. LEAVE US ALONE, tax the rich, get money from those who can afford it the most, Amazon, Google, Facebook, and others who can easily pay a bit more, stop harrassing us and pitting everyone against each other for the state of our finances!!

    I’m sick to bleeding death of it I’ll never forgive Reeves and Kendall for what they’re doing to us and I hope in the next life they come back as the people they’re constantly making ill so they know how it feels.

    I had a complete breakdown for a month where I couldn’t even get out of bed which yet again was caused by the DWP trying to apply for pip and them lying about me so I didn’t get it. I get LCWRA and already run out of money a week before the end of the month so if they change it and I lose that I’ll be in severe poverty to the point there’ll be no heat, food or happiness in my home. I begged for help from the NHS for a decade before my mental health conditions became so chronic I’ll never live a normal life, be able to work or have friends and that’s not my fault them threatening people like me all the time only makes us sicker.
    If they take money off the sick and disabled they’re taking it straight out of the economy as my money only goes on food, bills, takeaways when I’m too unwell to cook etc. What happened to the Starmer in opposition wanting a £20 uplift for UC and saying he wants to end poverty. He’s a traitor so is Reeves Kendall and the rest of them they’re a disgrace and should hang their heads in shame. Given that Dodds recently resigned over cuts to foreign aid this won’t go down well with back benchers either and I can only hope they’ll fight for the most vulnerable and realise this is wrong and despicable

    I'm desperately trying to stay in my rented accommodation where I've lived for the past 8 years. I have ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, arthritis and am always in severe pain in my arms and hands as well as the rest of my body. It's exhausting.

    It always feels like the disabled are being penalised for being disabled..it's discrimination and ignorance. It's do depressing being disabled, isolating and frustrating. Why are we alwyas being beaten by a stick by those in government? It always feels like they're shaming us but it's demoralising enough. Would you bully a disabled child? No. So why bully disabled adults who are vulnerable because we're dependent on help in order to survive. What have we to look forward to in life when we're constantly under threat. It's utterly depressing to be treated like a burden to society.

    Life is hard enough with pain and suffering so why inflict more pain on our already challenging lives?
