Reform want to cut PIP

[Daygloboo]

Reform want to cut benefits for disabled people. They want businesses to pay more towards sickness etc. I find it repulsive that they want to do this. When will people understand that they are a bunch of self interested sharks who want to make a stack of dosh for themselves while in govt and that they font give a damn about anyone in need. Why cant the most vulnerable ppl who vote for them see thus. It's astonishing. It's ac joke. I eish ppl who get what Reform.iscreally about and how it manipulates would make sn extra effort to tslk to.ppl who dont seem to get it.

And PIP carries on above pension age if given indefinitely. Above pension age a person cannot make a new application for PIP. That defers to Attendance Allowance.

If they didn’t bother to release any information about what they’re replacing it with then how did I know what the replacement scheme would be called?

That’s part of the issue. No one earning a six figure salary should be entitled to any benefit. Just like you won’t be entitled to child benefit if you earn that level of salary.

Except it's not.

His day to day living is completely unaffected.

He was only in pain with limited movement for 6 weeks.

its not either/or we can have a probably with both.

Highest rate of DLA is £194.60 per week. Pp is talking rubbish.

If you take a lot of people off benefits there will be civil unrest.

Indeed. The nonsense just keeps on coming!

That’s not true. The highest DLA award possible is high rate care and high rate mobility. That is £194.60 per week, which is £778.40 per 4 weeks. Three lots of HRC/HRM is £2335.20 per month. Most DC are not receiving HRC/HRM. You clearly don’t understand DLA or PIP.

A lot won't care, sadly. The most racist of the Reformers are fully focused on foreigners. That comes above everything else.

Yes I made an error in the calculation which I corrected…

Nope, try again.
Maths shouldn’t be this hard when your phone is a calculator.

More pish from the pish fountain.

He's getting noisy again
After virtual radio silence.
It's all piss that'll never see the light of day.

You do realise that PIP is not an out of work benefit?

You would hope so, but I suspect many of them will be like MAGA supporters, believing "China will pay the tariffs".

Yes but how do the figures match with how much has the population increased in ten years ? That was my query.

More people should be more tax. In the 1960’s there were fewer people. So less tax you would expect comparative to today. Because of the fewer people.
So has the taxpayers paying tax increased in line with the population increase ?

Then they will be processed through the courts. You don’t see these kind of problems in the UAE.

How will Reform cut admin costs whilst simultaneously 'weeding out those milking the system'?

It's a genuine question.

Very nearly a quarter of all government spending, or £320 billion pounds that's pretty huge.

in fairness (not that I get anything for me or my back!) but after years of lifting elderly folks my back is very delicate and I’d still help someone carry something knowing full well I’d be in agony. Some people and I include myself are just very eager to help and be useful. Especially since I don’t work, I think it gives me some sense of pride, to even if very minimally have helped, at least I’ve helped. (I recently helped my neighbour carry a fridge!)

I do appreciate that people are worried about those fiddling the system but I don’t really know how they do it without swindling their doctors and other medical professionals to get the evidence. My evidence I used was from schools, paediatrics, other people like speech and language letters etc and I get lower rate mobility because he can walk, he just is a risk whilst out and can’t go on public transport without 2 adults on him. I have no idea how you’d get a car if your evidence wasn’t fully supportive that you’re entitled to one.

If you look at Scope’s disability price tag research, for the majority, the money they receive in disability benefits is less than their disability related costs. For many significantly less.

You can claim it though and not work

Are you sure it's not in fact £12,000? 🤣🤣🤣

Has DS had a home OT assessment? That can look at locks for taps or even bathroom/kitchen doors.
