March 26th and Green Paper Mega Discussion (ITV leaks, etc)
Comments

@Holly_Scope Is Scope running any consultations with its members regarding this issue? Although nothing has been set in stone yet, I’m really worried about it!

There appears to be a lot of scaremongering as usual.
Until the government make an official announcement later this month no one and especially not the media knows what cuts will be made.

Scaremongering at its finest.
Until the government make an official announcement later this month nobody knows what they intend to do.

@luvpink I think the days of "scaremongering" ended with this report from a reputable journalist on ITN. It is so specific that it is an obvious governmental leak. The report lacks the fine detail of what we will hear on 26th but this is what we've been waiting for. It's the real thing and it's a killer.

These do appear to be leaks from the upcoming Green Paper.

It would have been easier and saved my time (which I give freely as I don't work for Scope) if you had been that transparent at the beginning.
He would not get UC with his daughter living there.
He would not get UC if his mother is under state pension age and getting a private pension.

To be honest, disabled people in this country should launch a 'class action' against the State,
for the 'Austerity' against 'disabled' persons and 'Austerity II' which is about to 'unfold'.

This is crazy!
The government really wants to play like an empire, but the only way it can get money for these games is by taking it away from the disabled. Shame!1 -
Can they faze out the welfare system over time ?

The thing is that 'Disabled' people aren't organised, the people / groups who represent us, only offer meaningless 'platitudes' i.e. it's 'unfair' etc, etc. We know that, what are you actually doing besides the 'platitudes'? They are 'hardly' on the front foot. Labour were shouting the 'odds' on Austerity i.e. Human Rights Act etc, etc, that was dealt on the 'disabled' by the Conservative Government, now they are in power 'the emperors new clothes' comes to mind.

They can't freeze PIP without a change in the law - and this will take years to get through both houses…….."primary change legislation"
And how would that work with "pip mobility" paying for "motability cars" - would the leasing charges of cars be frozen ?
PIP could never be frozen…

What really gets me is that Pensioners are getting annual rises in State Pension, guaranteed by the triple lock !
From April, the full new state pension is going up from £221.20 per week to £230.25, or £1,281 per month in a four-week month.
So whilst younger disabled are struggling to survive - the elderly are getting more and more.

Have no idea, it's worrying, that they are cutting money if you can't work.its so we have to look for work to survive and get extra money to live on. Haven't a clue what I can do with what I've got, mines is not going to get better only worse. I'm having further tests at the moment. It's ok for them with their thousands pay packet , even the speaker has rack up thousands going abroad first class, flights , hotels , limos etc
Surely something should be done to stop this.if you go onto disability news , the UN said cuts by the government shouldn't go ahead. But the government seem to pick and choose what they listen to by the UN

Hi all. I've merged all the discussions regarding March 26th into one discussion, as it was getting a bit unwieldy having multiple discussions all talking about the same thing.

They can all do one as far as I’m concerned too. I’ve had enough of them ruining my life exactly like you Sunak put me under!! I’ve been on Twitter and barely anyone agrees with them even the reform lot are against it by the looks of it. Same on tiktok about 5% of comments agree with the cuts so it’s gone down like a sack of poo anyway to the people they’re trying to get votes from. Good luck to them if they think they’ll get away with it is all I can say
