Upcoming changes to benefits

"The detail of the plans will be unveiled next week by Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall"

They are determined to push this 😥

When Ed Miliband was Leader he gave a speech about just meeting someone and "clearly able to work", at the time his comments were nothing short of disgusting, then the Tories

focused every speech on "hard working people" then "working people" and Labour use every single speech to say the same, Does this mean non hardworking/working people dont bother voting Labour again?

what Reeves wants will never happen not because of the fiscal rules they cannot talk #brexit

and the impact that's having will mean the level of Growth she needs the only avenue is savage cuts, they have learned nothing from 2010 when the Condems decided on the same policies.

Not once have they said in speeches about the upcoming cuts long covid and the NHS

are clearly main factors in increased claims, Its all spun as people either unable to work

owing to not enough support or people not wanting to work owing to a bit of "stress"

her comments about taking the mickey tell us exactly her views.

They have a duty of care to make sure EVERY single speech they keep telling people there will be sick/disabled people who can never work, need the support PIP gives because the alternative is local councils imploding and these people being in terrible trouble.

Sounds Dramatic at the moment but unless MP's learn the lessons from 2010 and tell the Govt they cant support these cuts then the same outcome awaits many of them.

You cannot call these "reforms" when they key objectives are savings, they are all acting so superior over assisted dying bill. what on earth is this level of stress doing to people already with huge issues?

Imagine a Minister catching a tummy bug the normal meds not working do they go ahead give that speech and soil themselves live on TV or do they cancel? I think we all know

utterly shameful and flies in the face of everything Labour was created.

My personal opinion is if you have an existing award it will remain that way until it is due to end but my award ends next year.

I think it will effect people like me and new claimants.

Just my thoughts.

But this was from daily mail source so may not be accurate about liz kendals thoughts, i just wish they would bring out the green papers now and put us out our misery!

Again this won't happened fast once they are announced well for current claimants anyway.

possible plans to crack down on the appeals process . Apart from the MR which is decided by the DWP the only other appeal is tribunal. Unless as was found in my case the tribunal erred in law . I can’t see them getting away with scrapping appeals.

if this continues under Starmer labour are finished. Their only hope is to get rid of him and reeves. I don’t know one single person who likes them or what they are doing.

I'm the same, sent mine form back last Jan, I can't work. Are they cutting it then before we migrated

I honestly believe the lack of understanding the complete lack of empathy

will see her removed, Call it lettuce watch II.

They backtracked on non doms

Taxing Gambling firms

actually getting a viable agreement in place for brexit

Windfall tax on energy or make them lower the bills

I emailed the local MP, included a complete breakdown of everything needed,

also informed them poo, pee, vomit, blood do not come out at 30C and quick wash

despite what the adverts suggest meaning energy bills of 400 PPM are now the norm

dropping slightly in the summer. disabled people are poor they know the poor in society are the ones who when they have payments it goes right back into the economy,

Finally some sections of the local government are saying huge cuts could force disabled people into care and would mean either huge rises to council tax or those councils actually going bankrupt.

I also reminded them, imagine a tummy bug the normal treatment doesnt work

so you are having incidents of soiling but its on the same day you are either giving a media briefing or just working, the soiling occurs its visible and requires full change of clothes and a shower with the likelihood its going to happen a few more times.

We know what would happen they would cancel and you would not see them until the bug is gone, but for others its not a bug it doesnt go away its part of life they have to try and deal with. And the non stop rhetoric everyone can work, most are frauds is getting soul destroying when in effect they are blaming people for either being born disabled or becoming.
