They haven’t announced anything. A lot of the things you’ll see about WCA changes 2025 is from the Tories’ plans last year.

Yes this 100%. She’s been told by both top economists and even the OBR that they can ‘slacken fiscal rules’ to equip for increased defence? I think it’s for two reasons.. she fancies herself as a leading player on the European stage, leading light in the IMF perhaps or some huge hedge fund and so she’s Labour in name but ‘ ‘Right’ as hell in practise. She’s fixing her soft landing exit? Secondly.. I’ve said it a few times on this forum.. she’s going to tax the masses soon, raise UK taxes universally. That’s more palatable if she’s seen to hit the disabled first and hit us hard? Morgan McSweeny and Pat McFaddens paws are all over this debacle. They even repeat the same sound bites during interview… It’s the ‘Labour’ party. Ad nauseam beating up of those who cannot work… shameless.

"What happens if I am unable to work due to my health?
If you genuinely cannot work, you may still qualify for support. However, you may be asked to engage in work-related activities to prove ongoing eligibility."
****!

what manifesto? I don’t remember reading about anything they’ve done so far . Had they said they were going to stab waspinwomen in the back and stop sick disability benefits etc ppl would have probably preferred the Tory’s .

Labour doubled down on the Tory WCA changes after Ellen Clifford took the changes to court and the judge ruled them unlawful due to a lack of honesty/transparency.

What a state of affairs. There is now no alternative to Right Wing ideology because our Labour Government has adopted cruel and callous Right Wing Austerity policies. Starmer is the worst Labour Leader of all time, pandering to the Elite and the Oligarchs in the same manner Trump and Musk are doing in the USA. Starmer's government is in fact less caring and socialist than the last Tory government were. Defies all belief. Who the hell do we vote for now in the future? They now all protect the super rich and make the poorest poorer. I hope they rot in Hell.

I’m thinking about the best way to end it all, I’ve been trying to stay positive but however I look at it I can’t see a way out. I like everyone else simply can’t work, I wish I could but I can’t. These people are beyond evil, I hope one day they get to feel what it’s like to have very little and then have that taken away.

Oh and by the way I complained to Ofcom and IPSO (I know it won't make a difference but still) complaining about the misinformation and disinformation, the demonising and the downplaying towards disabled people on benefits on newspaper sites such as the Times, Daily Mail, Telegraph and the Sun.
I told them that because of the fact they are not holding these news sites to account that they are enabling such propaganda which to my knowledge contravenes the equality act 2010 in regards of incitement to hate on grounds of disability.
It was cathartic and uplifting to write a whole complaint.

Liz Kendall: We know there will always be people that cannot work because of the nature of their disability or health condition and those people will be protected.
Whatever that means

Please hang on in there with the rest of us. One step at a time, let's get tomorrow over with and then decide what steps need to be taken. You are far from alone

You’re welcome ❤️ I know exactly what you mean, and it is really hard. I’m trying to switch my brain off as much as I can tonight. It’s not working!

It's difficult to know what she means but her admission that some people simply cannot work is a positive sign.

starmer will be the last ever labour prime minister and will go down in history as the man who killed labour.make no mistake if the green paper is as bad as whats being reported then its clear for everyone that this is a party thats so far from its roots its unrecognisable and will start losing its core voters.these cruel cuts are disgracefull and will push millions into deep poverty.

I am so so concerned about these reforms. I worked for a while, but got bullied bad which irritated my mental health and I discovered I had Austism which caused issues. I got so frustrated with things I self harmed and OD'd , just wasn't getting any support and mental health declining. Was eventually signed off on medical grounds and got a pension out of it (first review next year which I'm also terrified about), it's not quite enough so benefits helps. I just know at the minute because of the way I am and still on waiting lists I'm definitely not able to return to work. I dread ehays coming tomorrow and the possibility of having to go see a bully work coach who will use any excise to sanction you. I really hope that something happens tomorrow or there are grounds to fight this through the courts.

I echo that completely. Stay strong Martin. I'm in the same situ as are many people. Don't leave this life as we don't know what's on the other side. Keep the faith. And I also think the way it's going they will have to back down on a lot of what they propose to do. Just stay strong mate. Please.
