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

I’m confused regarding the migration. I’m on legacy esa and assumed I would get an increase when I transition over as I’m not able to claim severe disability premiums. Are you saying when you transition over you don’t really get the TP and lose over £400.

I remember the relief when Tory’s were voted out but omg I’d give anything for them to come back into power. All main parties are against us with no opposition to their plans. The only think we can hope for is if this is delayed for as long as possible as they won’t get a second term surely.

weren’t the dwp taken to court in the last couple of years for not honouring the correct TP amount after managed migration and the upper tribunal ordered them to sort it out and pay people the correct TP?

Another member or mod will know for sure.

But dealing with dwp 101 - they often make financial mistakes in award calculations & payments and it’s up to the claimant to get on and stay on their case to make sure they correct things (and as this is the dwp don’t be surprised if it takes a month of Sundays!)

Also I believe those on esa wrag may also have severe and enhanced disability elements on their award and be pre 2017? legacy wrag claimants (when Osborne lowered new wrag claimants to the same award amount as jsa - pre existing wrag esa claimants higher award amount was and still is protected) - point I’m making is that esa wrag group under going managed migration may also have TP (once again if a mod or member with policy knowledge can double check the above as I’m not a solid 100% sure)

I know the courts ordered TP to be paid but when you receive another benefit in my case LCWRA they then reduce your TP by the amount of the new benefit so currently I get LCWRA £416 per month and TP of £84. If they reduce or scrap LCWRA they should reinstate people's TP but given they are trying to save as much money as possible I cannot see them reinstating it.

They didn't want to give it to people in the first place so I cannot see them giving it back to people. I hope I am wrong as the loss of it would be devastating for everybody affected.

thank you . Let’s hope these changes don’t go through 🙏

I think they will be finished off next election. I just can’t see who’s vote for them. They only got voted in this time as a protest as ppl were fed up of Tory’s imo

I don’t think they have any ideas of their own, just copying the Tory’s . Only difference is Starmer is psychopathic with no empathy . He played a blinder though fooling ppl into thinking he was Mr flip flop who couldn’t make up his mind or say in the fence. What an actor. There was always something about him that I just didn’t like or trust .

my MP is Jeremy Corbyn. He’s replied lovely emails giving us his support. Reeves Kendall timms no reply surprise surprise

I bloody love Jeremy corbyn and John Mcdonell. Wish I had an mp like those 2. Imagine all mp's had their integrity and compassion......
