Don't like Farage but..

[TheBlueKoala]

I do agree with him that foreign nationals shouldn't be able to claim benefits and to scrap PIP for mild mental health issues. And that the money saved should go into mental health care so that everyone with mild mental health problems can access NHS care rapidly.

Farage would still have to abide to UK law
What he says he would do and what he could actually do are two very different things.
His ilk are not a friend to ordinary people they are to be used as usefull idiots.
His kind are multi millionaires.

Around 35-45 percent of claimants get turned down for Pip at the first claim. 15-22 per cent get the decision over turned at MR and around 65-75 per cent of claims are awarded at tribunal

Sorry to be so blunt, but I think Farage is a lying grifting snake-oil salesman who will say or do anything he thinks will gain the populist vote. I know politicians in general tend not to be particularly trustworthy, but I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him.

No that’s why Reform is going to storm through .

If he was in Westminster with a majority he could change the UK Law.

Apparently the latest poll shows a drop of support in Scotland - projected seats now 15 down from 21.

And his 400,000 deportation claim in a year..that's never going to happen.
He's a lying cunt

They are all liars

May 7th is going to be very telling

Fair point.

We know why you’re writing this, give it a rest

Farage is playing you (and many others) like a fiddle OP. Here is a wee heads up, everything he says is bullshit, he's a self serving toad who doesn't give a shit about the UK, or immigration or anything but money. He wants to cash in on carving up our remaining public services and selling them off, especially the NHS.

In what way?

How so?

Local Elections..

I'm Scottish. No Local elections here. Hth

Had to laugh at the the fact you think anyone, let alone those with mental illness would be more able to get NHS care if Reform get in 🤣🤣

You do realise they want to scrap the NHS and go for the American insurance system right? There will be NO NHS if they get in!! 🤦🏻‍♀️😫🤔

But most people don't get caught. That's why the numbers in the papers are so small.

But the PP said that it was really had to get PIP. If so, how did the fraudsters who got caught get it?

It can't be that hard can it?

There are undoubtedly people who could and should ‘take more responsibility for their health’ (looking at you exDP who has the education and money to work out what to do but doesn’t bother).

Thing is though, it is not just about people being lazy. There are many social factors that contribute to pooer health outcomes. Eg poor housing, domestic abuse, low levels of education. My neighbour for example has been told she has higjh cholesterol and prediabetes and hasn’t got a clue what to do about it. She left school at 16 and had dysfunctional parents. She is baffled (a) that she even has these conditions and (b) has no idea about how to start to address them and (c) does not understand how serious these conditions are. I have a degree and grew up in stable and loving home. I would be doing intensive research and coming up with a plan - because I can. She is never going to have the ability that I have, partly due to much less education and partly due to the low self esteem that stems from a bad childhood.

But if people didn't get PIP for MH problems then that money could be spent on therapies and psychiatrists.

PIP just makes people get worse and worse so that they don't lose the cash.

Yes yes. My DH tries to make his cancer MORE terminal.

I'm sorry about your husband but I was talking about MH awards not cancer.

Listen. Get lost. And then when you get lost. Get lost a bit more. As I have said in previous posts I have done medication and therapy. Disability benefits are not making me worse. Your ignorance is showing - off you jog. Some people wait three years for therapy.

I said in earlier posts that I was turned down three times for lcwra. Twice when I was suicidal. Someone else has posted that their brother ended their life after being told they were fit for work

Rubbish. You are talking rubbish. A friend of mine is only alive because she was sectioned twice.

Therapies and psychiatric help. Go tell that to people who have schizophrenia like my uncle who took his own life thirty years ago. Don't respond to me again. You are clueless

It's just people with mental health issues you despise. Got it!!

I am not worse and worse. I am recovering. I hope that helps!! Pip is a lifeline for a lot of people and if some people can't see that. That's on them.
