What I find extremely unfortunate is the targeting of mental health in a normal mind it would be people with mental health suffer horrendously and they been pushing pushing people over the edge looking at MH as we all feel bluesy sometimes to be pushed to the brink time after time it's hell on earth and chance to work try out for 6 months if don't like go back anyway What time is it tomorrow pls going take sleeping tablet can't stand being awake sorry feel so deflated and worried

I completely agree. Paying PIP to a disabled person abroad is terrible, spending money on bombs and bombing abroad is wonderful! (/sarcasm)

The issue with me is I'm due to move over to UC from IR ESA and I'm in the support group. If they announce tomorrow LCWRA is being scrapped. As that's group I'd being going into. Then I don't see any point of migrating over. I'd rather save my ESA money I get in the next 2 months (deadline migration date is start of May). Then look for work if I have to on my own than go through all this trouble with UC Job Coaches.
If the below is true. Then i'm concerned.
"Changes to Universal Credit & Potential Benefit Reductions
A major change is the abolition of the Limited Capability for Work and Work-Related Activity (LCWRA) category under Universal Credit. This means that some long-term sick claimants will need to prepare for work, potentially leading to a reduction of up to £5,000 annually in benefits.This move is intended to reduce welfare dependency while encouraging people to take part in employment-related activities."

that’s my fear too . But if they scrap lcwra and don’t replace it with an equivalent that’s denying we are sick or disabled. Surely against our human rights

Impliementing it? Outside the Corrupt Political systems bubble here it would be breaking international Laws.
They should be wearing stripes and going to His Majesty numerous prisons darted around the UK.

The Daleks' plan is unchanged and they are trying REALLY hard to carry it out!)
The Labour Party should embrace the Daleks' tenacity, not the goal.

totally flabbergasted to read this
If everything that has come out of this labour Government the last couple of months on this topic is them ‘putting trust and fairness into disability benefits system’ then I’m a monkey’s uncle
For the love of god Kendall needed to be sacked yesterday - the audacity to come out with this after reading/watching hers and other mp quoted on disability benefits - it’s insulting and disrespectful and shows unbelievable ignorance - what sane disabled claimant will willing collaborate with the dwp under their own accord (and not just jump the hoops of the claimant commitment bcos we have to
How many minister positions will be ‘untenable’ (in the eyes of most disabled ppl) by the start of April I wonder?

I wrote to them all Timms starmer reeves Kendall and amongst explaining that although they may not care about the sick and disabled they should care about their votes at the next election. I told them look on the scope forums and comments on YouTube. Ppl are terrified and desperate. We aren’t fakers . Funnily enough I just watched YouTube and Starmer is apparently banning YouTube content creators from giving advice. Obviously nothing to do with my emails but they’re covering all bases . It also said they’re starting with 18-24 by April
