Dear Folk with non-mental health disabilities,
Vouchers would be an absolute disaster for mental health claimants. Don’t let anyone persuade you folk claiming PIP for anxiety are worried well. Happy to discuss anytime in depth but please don’t inadvertently harm us.

If you’ve never witnessed anxiety or depression so severe that it leads to detention under the Mental Health Act, you probably don’t appreciate what some PIP claimants are living with.
People with severe neglect histories almost by definition aren’t very skilled at cry-for-help cues. We need to look out for the quietest symptoms of trauma as well as the loudest (both sets get judged).
