Umming and ahhing about whether a #FediForum ticket is a wise investment for me atm.
Once the #PIP cuts hit I'll be trying to live in £375 a month unless I can find a new client and the spoons to actually do the work for them.

"Impact assessments of the #welfare reforms ... showed an additional 250,000 people being pushed into relative poverty as a result of the cuts to the personal independence payment and incapacity benefit."
"A single person losing #PIP daily living and LCWRA could lose £818 per month – 58% of their income"

Cruel cuts to disability support: the Prime Minister needs to hear from your MP | Trussell

@ChrisMayLA6 Mis-use of a Motability vehicle does not equal benefit fraud.
A claimant can rightfully get #PIP and apply for a Motability car but abuse occurs if the carer or family member does not use the car for the benefit of the claimant. For example, a family member is using the Motability car for commuting every day leaving the claimant without transport.
"Because Pip is a “gateway”, any disabled person who loses the benefit will not only lose that income but other entitlements too, such as free prescriptions & council tax deductions. Most starkly, removing someone’s Pip will mean their unpaid carer losing carer’s allowance – in effect pulling away two main strands of a family’s income at once"

Dodgy press releases coming thick and fast from the DWP - trying to justify the harm of the proposed welfare cuts by foul means.
The comments in this piece regarding the latest #PIP points scoring system cover almost word for word the conversation I had with my disabled self employed friend last week.
The technocratic inhumane nature of #Starmer and #Reeves is no different to #Sunak.
Social care is going to completely implode. Who do they will pick up the pieces of 1st female chancellor’s actions?
Women.
'There has been no explanation as to how #Pip has been empowering support for those people with disabilities," said Robert Buckland on today's #BBCLauraK
Well, it has brought me a wheelchair, warm clothing, and fuel payment
Mek Stride's vision for #Pip as outlined on #TrevorPhillips
"If you have a mental health condition instead of giving you money, we would provide you with treatment that would help you back into work"
Pip is not an out of work benefit. Your employment status is nothing to do with your legitimate claim for it.
I am fully employed, and I claim PIP
How many more time times do I have to write this?
Hi all! I'm the same person as @greenmountaingirl, just switching instances. Thanks so much to vermont.masto.host for approving my membership! I look forward to being part of this community!
I'm an indexer, library worker, auntie, and covid-cautious queer disabled person with a spouse I adore and two indoor cats, #Dayenu and #Pip, aka #ThePippercorn.

"Through my work with Trussell, I know the reality of these cuts will be parents in disabled families having to skip meals so that they can feed their children. Things don’t have to be this way. We must shout as loud as we can to let the UK government know this plan is wrong.”

#Labour campaigned on a vision of welfare reform that emphasized dignity, opportunity, and fixing a "broken system" - language that signalled improvement.
But months after their landslide victory, #austerity has emerged again. The reformed #PIP criteria excludes hundreds of thousands of disabled people. The Work Capability Assessment is to be abolished. Ppl under 22 with health conditions would be denied additional support & Winter Fuel Payments have been stripped from millions of pensioners
2/2
Can't enjoy 'treat' food or alcohol or symptoms flare up
Has to buy own painkillers
Can't work at keyboard more than a few hours (not all day)
Can't walk the dogs every day, only every-other
Has golf-ball sized lumps on her feet
Hands sometimes seize up in a ball, won't relax for hours
Little and often no grip strength
"...if the intention is to encourage more disabled people into work, then Labour should be looking at the barriers people with disabilities face when trying to access the workplace, such as the housing and care costs, plus the disability markup on essential products."
