Yes, Starmer twice refused to answer "will some disabled people currently on disability benefits who cannot work have their benefits cut?" Just rabbitted on about principles and protection for people who really need it.

In my personal opinion, I think it's right that they don't say if the money's being cut or not until everything is ready to be put on the table in front of us, otherwise it'll just lead to more panic.
Honestly, I don't think anything should have been said until the time was right, and all the potential leaks have done is terrify people more. It even seems like the government are panicking a bit now and that's when mistakes happen.

On the other hand with no leak, the government would not be adding this safe guard that the pressure has forced them to do. The Labour MP meeting would never have happened with no leak, the back benchers only knew about it because of the leak.

Yes I agree, I don't go on social media anyway as like you say it was very bad for my mental health. At the moment though it's on tv, online, and even people talking about it in my local CO OP!! I think it just all got a bit too much for me with comments speculating about the changes, I know people are just trying to help, but saying things like this is what I think will happen, which I appreciate are totally entitled to their opinions does nothing to help with peoples worries. I panicked reading one comment saying people on LCWRA could be moved to LCW and made to look for work even though Iv'e been assessed as can't work. Some people beleive these comments and think they must be true and they've heard it somewhere official etc. I'm genuinely not having a go at anybody posting comments but the guessing of what may happen doesn't help anybody, it just fuels tension and anxiety.

Until 2015, LCW also meant can't work!
Both groups in ESA were for claimants judged by (non-medically trained) DWP decision-makers to have a Limited Capacity for Work. Thousands of sick and disabled people were unlawfully placed into WRAG or found 'fit-for-work' in the first national reassessment programme of 2011-2014 leading to a similar backlog of appeals that we see now.
From 2017, the support component of LCW was removed for new claims/claimants under the Welfare Reform and WORK Act 2016. LCWRA recipients were led to believe they deserved the extra component and failed to grasp the intent behind those welfare reforms.

There is a lot of speculating going on out there, I have read comments like PIP is shutting down, LCWRA to LCW, and more, those I think are panic posts. I treated the ITV leak as credible, especially when Keir reacted to it pretty much confirming its accurate, but otherwise I only accept anything if its straight from a minister.
