this must be challenged in court surely. It’s far worse than the Tory green paper.

I'm pretty sure they haven't said much about people that physically can't work as they want this to be the headline when announcing the cuts. People that can't work won't have benefits cut. This in their minds will soften the general public backlash / outcry

Before my health issues started (head on car crash with drunk driver then a year later randomly assaulted on street by a drunk resulting in head injury) I studied Economics, so can see how the bill is rocketing, and how a government would want to control. However, I've not heard once what the government think is causing it. Cuts to fuel allowance, assisted dying, advance from 28/29 to now for ESA to UC transition, and now this, it sounds like a conspiracy theory that the government actively want to attack the vulnerable, but unfortunately they seem completely serious.

will the work coaches take full responsibility for us if things go wrong ? If they scrap the WCA and it’s up to work coaches what we can do what training will they have ?

LCWRA cuts are much worse than PIP freeze! I'm struggling every day and trying to survive but we all can't give up and we have to fight for our rights!

they seem completely clueless. They’re just copying the Tory’s as they’ve no new ideas of their own

Big push back by Labour MP's against Rachel Reeves's impending, savage disability cuts.
Looks like Reeves is having to row back on the PIP Freeze ☺️

Was the plan the whole time to have something to u-turn on, as in the PIP freeze, so they can say they did something good while they continue to go through with the worse parts of these cuts?

I get the contribution bases esa at 138 a week are they planning on taking the 40 a week away I have a neurological condition or is the cuts only for people on universal credit income based

They are using the pip freeze "u turn" as an easy method to fool people into thinking they're not going to bring in cuts. The freeze to pip inflation only added upto £30-£40 Cuts in future 2026 payments. The cuts to LCWRA are far worse it could be upto 34% if not more cuts it could be -£128 a month or if its cut entirely thats the full £416 gone per month! They will change the criteria and force people off LCWRA and PIP!

Maybe its time for disabled people to take to the streets on mass demonstrations against Rachel Rubbish and Starmegeddon's ransacking of the disability benefit system !

Exactly this people,wake up and smell the coffee it's a headline graber, government back down on disable benefit cuts, when the reality is it can push forward,with the charge to who now qualifies for Pip and ESA , as mentions it was always their plan

Targeting the disabled is the lowest of the low.
This Labour Government has already declared that the National Health Service England will be no more.
You wonder what Nye Bevan would have made of this Labour Lot ?
