The Green Paper Discussion (the document link is here too!)

Government’s Green Paper - action required!
Hi New to this so apologies if I have duplicated an existing post. Now I have got over the shock, like many others, I am now in action mode. I have written to my MP as I know others have done. However for those of us novices, did you realise that a Green paper means it is being consulted on. It is therefore vital to give…

Worried sick
Is anyone else terrified about what was said yesterday regarding the disability benefit cuts? I'm on lwrca for my OCD but it very much sounds as though they are going to make it impossible to claim pip for mental health reasons alone. Requiring 4 points is absurd. I struggled to get onto pip in the first place they kept…

Surely for those who have been on it for years and are a risk to others should be ring-fenced as some…

Hi, my name is Dotty64!
PIP changes Recently I had a telephone renewal however they concentrated mainly on the mobility element.
