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

Not at all, it'll just mean they won't increase our PIP payments to match inflation as they do most years.

When I read about these "potential" changes my first thought is the DWP admitting to breaking the law?
PIP is not supposed to be about your diagnosis, diagnosis can act as evidence supporting the reported needs, but it shouldnt ever be the decider of an award. This is a reason why there is people who make applications, they report their medical condition, dont put much else and then get turned down.1 -
So it's going to happen, cutting our benefit payments or stopping them altogether and making us look for employment

didn’t the judge say removing £400 a month from claimants with no possibility of working ifs unlawful ? If I read that right then surely it’s not much different to Labour reducing amounts for people who can’t work but increasing amounts fir people who can.

No the consultation was unlawful. There is regulations around how consultations should be carried out.

yes I agree and it seems both the Tory’s and I think Labour put out false information such as they need to make people submit evidence of diagnosis. I filled out the Tory green paper and I’m sure there was something in that stating about evidence. They’re trying to make it sound as though anyone can claim without specialist letters etc . I think by mentioning fibromyalgia and other invisible conditions they’re playing on if you don’t look sick then you’re lying .

I don't know. There's still uncertainty despite the government making its intention known via ITN.

I think it was deemed as a money saving cut not for the welfare of claimants?

I think that’s what read too and he said it was so bad that it’s verging on unlawful. If I’ve remembered it correctly then what difference are Labour plans when the leaked paper states they’re considering reducing money to those who can’t work.

hi Catherine , no I haven’t I’m literally straight back to last year after sunak/stride . I was just feeling more positive and now before I’ve even begun to get some strength back I’m exhausted again. Right now I’m between trying to relax and ignore the bad news and becoming obsessed.

Appreciate that but if we must wait for All facts it looks like we must wait 'til Budget Day.
Not good for the MH, maybe Stop all Speculative Comments 'til Then Too?

New Claimants will see the reduction not Existing claimants. Not a Law break to Reduce for Future claims.

OOh No don't worry honestly it really isn't going to be as bad as we think I'm convinced of that don't let it take you down look at us both when sunak made those speeches how ill we became did anything happen no we are still OK I can see through the BS it's a big circus act they bully us through media want us so low don't drink the cool aid distract yourself do breathing exercises sit in the sun today is for living not giving them our magnetic life force you are strong give yourself today and tomorrow make a little plan of something to do xx don't worry I'm not anymore they can't do what they want and the word is proposals well I propose they disappear you got this x

Well if cuts apply to new claimants initially that's me stuffed then. I have only just started down the collating 3 fit notes for a wca. First sent on 18th February. UC50 form should be sent after the 29th day. Will I even he sent that now? By the time my 3rd fit note is sent by 18th April ending around 18th May and I await a WCA what situation will we be in regarding these changes? . At present I'm on stand alone universal credit £393.00 per month plus single persons ILA. No earnings, no other benefits, no other form of help or income. Very difficult to survive on £393.00 every month. I was hoping to go down the LRWCA route due to health conditions but as a new health/disability claimant (I've been on UC since 2020 and classed as a job seeker) I may not get very far. I haven't even attempted PIP.

Putin and Lenin are also lawyers)
It's time for the UN to pass a law banning lawyers from being heads of state!
Of course, no one will implement it.
If there are linguists here, can they point out where the statements in the press were from the same "speechwriter"?0 -
I hope this is fought in court if true . Simply not fair to future claimants. Plus of course if we failed a review and won would we go back to original award or the lower?

Sorry for jumping to conclusions early in this thread about the LCWRA, nothing has eluded to that. I'm projecting my worries, I apologise.
