Upcoming changes to benefits

This is where I think they’ll come a cropper. Good point. We have been assessed both by WCA.. and many of us on PIP/ ADP.. using doctors/ psychiatrists statements, prescriptions other significant evidence. Yet they are now somehow going to cut money from assessed people?? They assessed us using their systems!😳Referring people to local job coaches won’t work.. in my area( big city) apart from a few good souls, these people are burned out or contemptuous of the sick.

I'm so frustrated at the rhetoric around it. I have always worked full time and applied for PIP due to the additional costs of my disabilities, not least because I've had to go private for one due to being on the NHS waiting list for 4 years and counting. I don't need help getting back to work, I need help staying in work which is what my PIP payment does. How is it not discriminatory to remove the thing that balances the playing field for disabled people.

Hi all, I have posted a link below for anyone who would like to sign the Trussell Trusts online petition to the government to rethink these proposals, although I'm quite sure many of you already have done!!

Apologies, some of these links don't always work, but it may be on their website somewhere. Hope that helps, thanks.

Oh elizarose ofcourse I remember your suffering have you contacted your doctor this needs to documented what thier doing to us I phoned my doctor yesterday she said do not worry you have diagnosis do not worry in my fear driven head I feel exactly the same when I keep myself busy I think clearer they cannot force someone who has your sons diagnosis I'm sure that would be health and safety there's alot of support for us people aren't going to lay down and take it they are throwing everything out and seeing what's being pushed back the most people are seeing our distress and it is making them look absolutely vile when you finish therapy maybe ask your therapist if she could write a letter stating your therapy what for and how long you being having therapy I totally understand the feeling when therapy ends takes a while but you do get used to having none have you got support family friends This is what they want us to weak tired fearful we are easier to control so your right it does feel very abusive don't let them win you are a surviver a warrior we all are we are being dulled down they now exactly what thier doing it's very sinister they been doing it for centuries but these lot a dumb they made and effected most of the uk with thier proposals and that's the word proposals what you have to do is get your strenght back eating little and often most important fluids I went down 2023 and it was like yourself a living hell a nightmare to scared to get out bed even going to the toilet scared me didn't want to leave the bed they will never do that to me again we fall and we get up it does get more tiring as get older maybe today make a cup of tea or toast I know that feels impossible be kind to yourself they do not deserve any of this even me I know it will take years my mind tells me it be next week which it definitely won't big big hugs I'm sending strenght and guidance xx

Many Thanks, it was no doubt myself that copied it incorrectly!!

Everyone is talking about it being 'unfair', it's more then 'unfair', it's not like those on disabilities benefits are 'partying' and living the 'high life'. Lets take food, we know there is a 'cost of living crisis', we know disabled people will have to make choices, food being one of them. This is what the United Nations says on food:

Your right, and after 14 years labour have learned NOTHING.

The fight goes on.
