Nothing on transport, nothing on housing, nothing on social care, nothing on PIP, nothing on hate crime, nothing on urban planning, nothing on healthcare, nothing nothing nothing…

How many are claiming...

[Disability News Service @johnpringdns]

@RachelCDailey @DrFrancesRyan @IsabellaMcrae Vicky Foxcroft asked some questions that followed on from this one, but the other way round (people receiving ESA/UC and LCWRA but not PIP). Suspect this is not useful, but just in case...

@The_Randolorian It's apparently about 6 million that are denied COL.

I know I've said this before to many..
Get a benefit check from a good Welfare or Disability Rights Group etc as some people after a few years can move to Contribution Based.
I don't know why or how it is implemented 💖

Cost of Living Payment...
6 to 22 February 2024.

[Legacy Benefits Info @LegacyBenefits]

@JSacrimoni90734 @carolvorders The government view is those on contribution based ESA have access to other sources of income.

The reality is...
6 Million miss out on about £1000 each
&
government 'saves'
£6 Billion.

[Disability News Service @johnpringdns]

A disabled activist has launched a legal attempt to force the government to carry out a fresh consultation on its plans to tighten the work capability assessment, which she believes will force many disabled people into poverty, or even destitution.

@KuyVon @carolvorders Government doesn't care
It's their chance to inflict more psychopathic narcissistic cruelty on the most vulnerable

Look what happened to those on Legacy Benefits & Carers
government saved
4 BILLION
from the most vulnerable

3.3 MILLION DEAD because of DWP

gov took £400 BILLION

[Ferris @LizzyFerret]

Families are making every 10p count so they can heat their homes & feed their kids.
The DWP sanctions sick people who can’t make it to their mandatory “work related” appointments.
But @MichelleMone & her hubby can feel content on a tax payer funded yacht, so it’s all good 🫠

The Royal College of Psychiatrists (RCPsych) has called on the government to ditch controversial plans to tighten disability benefit assessments & scrap protections relating to disabled people’s mental health

[Chaminda Jayanetti @cjayanetti]

NEW: The Royal College of Psychiatrists has called on the DWP to drop plans to make it harder to claim disability benefit

It said the plans could be "unfair and detrimental to the health and welfare of people" with mental illness

By me, for @politicshome https://t.co/nXESiibAWl

@melaniemootaylo Contact local welfare rights group & local council money advice.
Also MP or another MP

Loads of people are being sanctioned

ie..
People are being forced from JSA to UC
"Move to UC or I will sanction you"

I suggest everyone carry secret recording device.
Which is Totally Legal.

[Legacy Benefits Info @LegacyBenefits]

@David24696498 Have you had a Benefit Check at local welfare rights group?
Also contact local council money advice they might know of local Household Support Fund etc.

[Legacy Benefits Info @LegacyBenefits]

News ...
Cost of Living £300..

for those on
Contribution Based
JSA, ESA & UC etc.
I'm not sure when qualification date was
also not sure (don't think) if others ie Income Based will get it.

BBC radio 4 news 10am said it will be paid between
31 October
&
19 November 2023.

@David24696498 This CRUEL government is up to something..
AND NO MENTION IN MEDIA
or very little.

2.4 million on Legacy Benefits & Carers not allowed Covid Uplift payment totaling £1,560.

6 million on Contribution Based refused Cost of Living Payment.

3.3 million Death's connected to DWP.

[Legacy Benefits Info @LegacyBenefits]

@Xpressfeelings2 Have you had a
Benefit Check
