Upcoming changes to benefits

Morning everybody, after 2 hrs sleep last night I needed to get my finger out, figuratively speaking 🤣. So I've emailed Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Lucy Powell, Angela Rayner, Liz Kendall, Lisa Nandy, Wes Streeting Diane Abbott, Hillary Benn, John McConnell, Jeremy Corbyn, Stephen Kinnock, Andrew Cooper, Yvette Cooper, Annaliese Dodds, Vicky Foxcroft, David Lammy, Ed Milliband. It's took hrs as had to do from my phone can't get on email on my PC 😬 had to resend to quite a few as received alternative email addresses off some at Westminster not constituency 🙄

Wasn't rude but I didn't pull any punches. It wasn't anonymously sent and in part possibly brazen - stating I wont be clicking any tick box 'Accepting Work Commitments ' on UC as I've not embellished, exaggerated or been dishonest about my health conditions and I don't intend starting now. Was a bit 'War and Peace' but I've had to live through my story so so can they.

I don't expect to hear back, if ever but especially today as I expect they won't see the email as they'll be busy in conflab working out the announcement tomorrow and probably more important things to do 🤭🙄. I saw earlier on here someone kindly shared something on at 2.15pm on BBC Parliament today so I'll try and watch that. I do hope everyone is OK. I've emailed Scope for James Taylors email address as ideas to put to him re Equality Act etc.

Think this one will go to the wire. They’ll be tinkering with changes until tomorrow..and I think likely be watered down? Makes you wonder what the original version was like.😳 I’ll never vote for this shower of bandits again, they bear no resemblance to a Labour Party and indeed no resemblance to any ‘centre left’ party in the world.

So will be be reassessed or not??

she needs to back to customer complaints, those phones won’t answer themselves.

They're certainly not Labour Party I joined and paid into. I want a refund! Labour isn't socialist or vaguely social-democratic now. They are well to the right of Thatcher's "wets". I think you're correct. There'll be more tinkering after Oral Questions in the House this afternoon.

@charlie72

I agree.

She is an awful woman with a smug look on her face.

if they make me attend a job centre to see a work coach I will probably have to crawl on the floor and end up in hospital.

I think maybe they do for PIP.

I thought you were talking about being reviewed for LCWRA, as on my award letter for LCWRA it has no review date, it just says we may ask you to attend another work capability assessment in the future.

It's like on the one hand they think mental health is important, and then on the other it's like they think mental health is nothing.

I scored 2 points on all of the proposed description changes for pip, 8 for engagement - my review was sent off in spring last year, I got a letter saying that they were extending my reward until March 2026 because they were still collecting evidence or whatever it was - am I right in thinking that actually they have done this to wait for the changes to come into effect and take aaay my award completely? I haven’t eaten in days, I haven’t slept. I haven’t moved out of bed. I’ve lost hours of time dissociated I’ve done nothing but ruminate - I will not, will not be able to cope, I honestly feel like I may aswell just end it now and save myself the stress and the government their money so as to not be seen as a leech to society.
