PIP: Tribunal date (6 month wait)

PIP finally gave me a date for a Tribunal (the like of which I have had to successfully prove myself in many times). I talk about my current feelings about that and highlight how many other permanently disabled people are having to prove themselves in court OVER and OVER again.

Hugs Tracy! Good luck and remember to give yourself plenty of self-care while you fight this battle and also afterwards, regardless of the outcome. YOU know what you need. Remember you can always appeal again if they make a wrong decision (after you have bolstered yourself for battle). When you fight for your rights as a disabled person you fight for all disabled people! ❤️

Nope, if you can make content go shopping you can get a job, you are a drain on resources

Bless you ❤️ I actually personally believe that ultimately everyone should have a basic income and not be in competition with each other - so you and I are very different people where our opinion base is concerned (which is also fine as the planet naturally embodies plenty of diverse and unpolarized ideas 🌏).

@@Emilysvisions yes it’s very easy to believe that when you aren’t footing the bill, if everyone stopped working tomorrow where would this basic income come from?
People who don’t work shouldn’t have an income anywhere close to minimum wage! Especially those who can work but chose not to.
