To be fuming with the Tories and cuts

[malificent7]

Cuts to our children's schools and education.
Cuts to disabled
Cuts to welfare
Cuts to NHS
Cuts to welfare
Fucking Brexit

Apparently there is no magic money tree but it is ok to spend billions on Trident ( while we criticise others for developing nuclear weapons. )

I expect you will all be here to tell me there is no magic money tree!

Ironfingers is simply taking a leaf out of the Government's book.

They've been blaming everyone but themselves for their inability to deliver for years.

Why should any of us lie and pretend everything is fine when it isn't? I have politely explained why my parents won't be getting their 30 hours childcare for free and they don't blame me - they blame the cheapskate liars who promised it, then refused to fund it adequately.

Maybe some posters should go on the PIP support forums and Facebook pages.

People who have disabilities are having their PIP stopped or greatly reduced I have c&p some examples below.

1. Hi everyone. I had my Tribunal today. I lost! I have fibromyalgia, Polymyalgia, trigemina neuralgis. I have 2 strokes and my spine is crumbling. I have to use crutches to walk and they said I have no mobility needs! Good luck to all who are fighting to get what is needed.
   
   
2. Got word back from pip that the decision hasn't changed and my daughter blind and nearly completely deaf....
   
   
3. Hope some one can point me in direction of a benefit advisor. I have the pip refusal letter. The health care professional has completely screwed things up. I have scoliosis degenerative spinal deciese. Plus diagnosis of depression and anxiety. I saw a psychiatrist again early this year who has referred me for psychology. Re her diagnosis PTSD and attachment disorder. I was also referred for initial autism diagnosis. This has come back with a result that they want me to undergo full diagnostic assessment. On waiting list. Also supposed to be undergoing chromosome tests due to estrogen level etc.
   The health professional has used her own opinion etc misguided terminology on one part of report. Said I also have no mental health issues now or in past no muscular skeletal issues. And the term that offends me big time is refures me as having " role transvestism" completely wrong this word is also not politicaly correct and it was a 1960s theory .how do I report the health care professional actions. And looking at sueing her and capita for the actions. I am currently awaiting a needs assessment from social services.
   
   
   Posts like these are going up everyday desperate people who are being forced to go to assessments with people not medically trained and the evidence from medical professionals they take with them is on the whole ignored.
   
   My husband injured himself in 2012 he went from working full time to not working after his injury triggered a condition called CRPS he has had multiple surgeries now and is in chronic debilitating pain. He claimed PIP on 2014 and this June was called for assessment. He is worse now then he was in 2014 and took a letter from his consultant saying he is not going to get better.
   
   We received their decision a few weeks ago
   Apparently because he made eye contact and could lift his left arm he is ok so they are cutting his money. If anyone wants to see the letter PM me and I will screenshot how according to ATOS and the dwp making eye contact means you are cured of your chronic illness. I'm now looking for a third job to try and support us, what little bit he did claim took the pressure off but now that's gone.
   
   
   Another recent example of their stupidity,

For some of us a happy weekend awaits...for others, another day of sniping on the internet just killing time until the sun is over the yard arm.

And for some of us a morning is spent just making stuff up just to fuel fear and bile in others, seems an odd way to start a "happy weekend".
