I have a long term heart condition that took me away from a professional career, and am still set to lose PIP under the new rules because the interpretation of the rules by the assessors is jaded and underhanded.
It’s a horrible policy designed to punish people. Why not ask NatWest for their 10bn owed instead of asking the ill to go without? Red tories for red austerity.
It’s easy to promote spending other people’s money. Maybe he should say who and how he would pay for more spending.
It is an odd move from the government. Simply removing benefits does not make one fit for work. Most people work if they can.
Those who take advantage are in the minority. Is that really worth the increased costs that poverty bring and an increased homelessness problem.
Benefit money works its way back into the economy to be taxed again quickly. It’s not like it goes into vast savings accounts in which it becomes economically inactive unlike tax breaks for you know who .
Since when has that ever stopped the goverment. Don’t to pay them if they all kill themselves.
Rich folk who target society’s most vulnerable and desperate are truly vile humans. I don’t believe in an afterlife but if I did I would sleep happy knowing they would burn in hell.
People with like me with Asperger’s with get pip take. Off them.
Sorry Martin, but funding hotel rooms for all those poor women and children who have just turned up on a dinghy is far more important than those silly disabled people.
Hopefully with Martin Lewis on board more of the common folk will get it into their head that PIP cuts are not a good thing.
It’s disgusting and disappointing to see certain sections of reddit cheering it on. It will be hugely damaging and put so many disabled people into poverty.
I feel like if it wasn’t for tiktok showing people how to make themselves appear more disabled to the DWP/assesors or how to say to DWP/assesors that your child is more disabled and that getting picked up by the red tops has screwed it up a bit and caused more scrutiny on who is claiming and the “cuts/reform” is a reaction to them, as this sub has had a few posts about those articles (refuse to call them stories or news because they aren’t).
I also want to be clear I’m not punching down on those who get awarded PIP as those tiktoks probably saved HMG money instead of those people having to take their claims to tribunal for them to be awarded anyway, and have some very close friends who wouldn’t be able to work without their PIP and wouldn’t have lives without it but it’s because they got picked up by the red top shitrags and this Labour government being very reactionary instead of taking time to properly assess the needed reforms and coming out with measured responses.
Martin is correct. The obvious effects of taking all support away from 87% of the people on standard awards are bad, but then you start adding in the effect on homelessness, the demand for council services, the demand on mental health services and the impact on carers and catastrophic is the correct term.
The biggest group it will affect are people in their 60s with musculoskeletal problems. Not the workshy but the workworn. People who have worked hard and paid tax all their lives and now their body is letting them down, the government seem keen to kick them whilst they are down too.
I understand the winter fuel allowance cuts, I understand the private school taxes, I understand the majority of labours decisions so far and I think they are doing a good job. But this one I don’t understand and can’t agree with.
