People don't, that's the problem. I never thought for a moment that I would end up physically disabled, and was happy enough to go along with the popular notion that many of them were "at it".
I have a different understanding now all right. Fifteen years of worklessness, and no hope of that ever changing.

I have invisible disabilities and look fine . But when I’m bad I don’t go outside for weeks so people don’t see me in pain or fatigued . Then you get ppl saying they have a neighbour claiming but they know they’re faking it . But they don’t know what goes on behind closed doors

I'm the same I do hair makeup dress clean mask really well when I tried to interreact with people before isolation they used to say after a while your crazy the things I've done when I'm disassociated I think that's what it's called I had to isolate I was a danger to myself and got triggered so bad by bullying of a boss I left job and went on a campaign of harassing her all I can say is I had no control of myself getting arrested yes mental health is real see shadows burning smells babies crying alot more when pushed to extreme but I sound horrid but I'm actually very kind and would help anyone which was another problem attract users I could go on and on put me back into society on a permanent basis wouldn't be good and alot of people with MH will crack if this is forced upon them

you sound a like a lovely person Catherine and although it’s looking bad right now last time dwp treated MH like this it caused so much harm they had no choice but to change . I can’t see this being any different . It’s the worry of who’s I. Their firing line , the young , invisible conditions?

Thhere's alot of charities in the background it doesn't concern people unless it concerns them but honestly some people have no insight to ever think or believe it could be them I've worked for years in care profession I've been married paid my tax until I couldn't no more felt so useless for years I even used to say to people I was working if they asked obviously no people close to me my daughter used to say why you telling them you work I was so ashamed of myself now they can do one I've proved time and time again to DWP I just feel anger at the way we have been treated

I worked till i had to quit to help my wife with our disabled son, then became a carer for my disabled daughter, now disabled myself. I have so called invisable disabilities but one of them has effected me physically & have to use stick, wheelchair or mobility scooter to get about so im not sure if thats still invisible? All i know is ive been spat at & called a dole dosser in the past & with how the goverment & press are talking about us dont feel too safe

Oh yeah just emailed a load of labour mps, in it called them new nasty party & pointed out how they are talking is similar to how Nazi viewed the disabled, how they were voted in because they weren't conservative so ehy act like them & asked why did they attack tories then do worse themselves amongst other things. Also said there are more people who wish to say something but scared of been arrested for facebook posts & that i was scared to send that email.
Have also messaged unison, tuc, unite asking where they stand on the cuts & changes considering their members are only a illness or accident away from needing the help & do they still stand behind the labour party with the attacks on the old sick & poor & keeping children in poverty

I disagree someone on jsa is actively looking for work and can work MOST disables people cannot work so you can't compare the two so suffer because your disabled we don't have the same advantages as others boils my blood having to justify and explain

I just say I can fly or get ejected from a canon I don't know why but I'm not fazed maybe will change but thier really thought Get Britain Working was going to be sensational seriously talking of visiting people is psychiatric wards have benny Hill vans touring the country Just like stop the boats that sunk like the titanic let's see what desperate attempt thier try again grasping at straws they are bullies they are desperate to gain respect they think a title awards them that I've never seen such a useless bunch

Why reduced by 416 ? So quickly that's crazy that's what they do then so you get uc and lcw rate

Lou had Transitional Protection with her UC, and this was reduced by the amount of her new LCWRA award. That is how TP is designed to work.
