I certainly feel attacked by this I'd love one of them to live inside my mind for even half an hour and spend a day in my shoes and see how she gets on living as a disabled person how about they Leave us alone! Stop the boats. Stop sending money abroad stop paying for all the people that should not be here and look after our own people are all ready taking their own life because they can't cope
Same. They would be begging to be returned after 10 minutes of being in my life. The physical pain and discomfort I am in on a daily basis is literally hell. But I guess we are easy targets who are in no position to fight back. Healthy military aged men on boats are able to fight back.
@@EgoChip they have no clue what it's like and they don't care to be honest more concerned about the people on boats I wish there was something we could do

Good luck everyone 👍🙏

It is going to be more of the same, mainly because the Labour Party is no longer the Labour Party. Thanks for that, Kier.

Stop paying migrants money and look after people in this country.Unfair on disabled prople . So cruel .
Some people who claim pip work. Pip is not an unemployed benefit. Why don't Labour understand that.
They have to stop companies refusing to employ British people.
I'm registered blind .....I can't wait too go back to work .....I'll become a lolly pop man
maybe starmers going to magically produce 5 million jobs for disabled people out of his backside. I mean he talks out of it, why not teach it to do magic tricks too?

Sorry, but there are some very vulnerable Veterans on PIP out there, some very anxious, some with extremely severe debilitating conditions. From Complex Military Combat PTSD Trauma, Severe COPD, Stroke Disabilities, restricted mobility etc. Scant information is not helping those people, however well intended it is. We are already losing 30 Veterans a month to 'Suicide' due to PTSD Combat Trauma. Some are aged 64 years with very complex conditions. Please, I am asking put meaningful facts out, because at present, scant details are very likely to push people over the edge...be responsible with REAL facts. For the sake of these particularly vulnerable people whose PIP payment each month is the truly and quite litterally the difference between Life and Death for them.
As long as they treat the genuinely sick and disabled with the respect they deserve and continue to provide benefits to those who are genuine then I'm all for it. Time will tell
exactly mate as long as this continues to happen and the genuine in need get help or support financially as well then it's good! there are many who do skive i understand that and i think maybe those days could be up!
As someone who was struck off the sick under T.Bliars govt I pity you , there's one born every minute.......
my daughter has downs syndrome she wants to work and get paid but needs 24 hr support in supported living she was called up for an interview to access her ability to work or her benefits would stop went the women said why on earth have you been called in i said you tell me i let her ask the questions she said sorry i will make sure you are never asked to come in again
I am a disabled person I feel that the government needs to look at the ones that can work and leave the disabled and the most vulnerable people in society alone ❤❤❤
Something works of fiction like 1984 and V for Vendetta have in common, along with totalitarian regimes like the Nazis, is their disdain for sickness and disabilities, and their eradication of such. When we see similar rhetoric coming from our government, it fills me with dread, amongst other negative thoughts and feelings. Sure it might not be as extreme (yet) but the sentiment is still the same. We are a burden. But it's fine that corporations are allowed to continue with their practices that create many of our disabilities in the first place. After all, money is everything.
I feel like we're on the edge of somekind of aktion t4 project. Things are getting that dark these days.
I have a feeling that the whole thing of "You can work up to 12 months without loss of disability benefits" will result in the statement of, "Well, you managed to work for a whole year which proves you don't need disability benefits anymore." They won't take into consideration that there are types of disabilities which fluctuate with no particular timeframe.
Would be strange if they could work all of a sudden though :)
@@craigrothwell6144 Some yes and some no. It depends on how their disability affects them and side effects of some medications.
@@samanthahardy9903 To suddenly be able to work for a year and get paid and still get full benefits and then suddenly relapse again after that year, Where do i sign up?
They will move the goalposts with the "up to" part too. 12 months will be the absolute maximum but it will turn out to be 3 months on average.
My disability is invisible. If I was stood next to you I would look normal to you. However I have brain damage from a stroke in 2016. Which means I have real trouble remembering or recalling information. I get confused easily and when I do I stay confused for hours. Sometimes I can not understand the words that people are saying to the point where it sounds in my head that they are talking gibberish. I here the sound but brain can't translate the sounds into words. My personality has changed which means if I feel threatened whether physically or verbally I go into attack mode. This is not controllable by me. There is no build up of anger. I can go from 0 to 100 in a blink of an eye. Hence I stay away from others as much as possible. On the physical side I limp and feel tired all the time. As well I sometimes slur my speech and have tinnitus. Even though a doctor can say that I have brain damage. There isn't a doctor on the face of the planet who could say with certainty how it effects me. All they can do is list of common effects. Just because you see someone who in your opinion looks able to work does not mean that they are able to work.
@@pds8475 poor you i myself suffer invisable conditon crohs disease)
@@AleemaBii It just does my head in that people diagnose a person as not being disabled without any medical qualifications when doctors have a hard time understanding the effects of some disabilities. Also the fact that disabilities can vary in intensity day to day and sometimes depending on the disability minute to minute. Meaning that a healthy person can see the disabled person doing things that the healthy person thinks a disabled person shouldn't be able to do. What they don't seem to understand is that a lot of disabled people don't get help with their disabilities therefore things that we need to get done are done when our symptoms are not affecting us as much. Just because they see you do something does not mean that they can do the same level of work 8 hours a day 5 days a week or in any consistent manner. Yes there are people who manipulate the system for their own benefit but a lot of it will be bravado, not wanting to admit that they are disabled. I know I went through a stage after my stroke where I tried to pretend that I was all right which ended up with me back in hospital. I also know that some of my friends family think I am taking the mick because I look normal all because the conservatives have put in their minds that disabled people are work shy and feckless.
I totally understand and relate to this, sorry to hear how life's been with you and thank you for staying strong and being you ❤️❤️
Why dont they just leave us alone
seen as an easy target which is uncalled for.

Bedroom tax needs to go . With genuine long-term illness the indefinite needs to be brought back . Into dla/pip i know 2 people who have severe disabilities and have to jump through hoops every few years its disgusting. They will never be able to work again. Should be left alone
@@pemj7360 fortunately here in Scotland we don’t pay bedroom tax , our government pays this on our behalf 😊
Scrap all benefits to gimmigrants & those who have not contributed into the system
I get ESA, PIP, and UC and housing benefit, and I know people are jealous, so I tell them I only get ESA and nothing else. I see all the nasty jealous posts on here. Some people reading this will be frothing at the mouth. I will swap with any of them, and they can have my Parkinsons and I will go back to work. Any takers.
@michaeloconnor9465 precisely. Disgusting comments. I've got 2 autistic sons, without huge amounts of paid support, they'll never 'work'. They'd be more a drain on the system if made to work because they're behaviour would end them up in mental wards or prison. I get carer's allowance to prevent this, £80 a week for both of them. Even some voluntary work isn't appropriate. Not just for them, but society at large. Is it their fault or mine that they're disabled? People are so entitled to good health, they're even jealous at those who don't. Make it make sense. This country has been emboldened lately to be bigoted and supremely small minded. And that's me being gracious.
You don’t have to tell anyone what benefits you get; it’s none of their business.
@juliejeavons6949 Only did it to wind up the nasty posters on here. As I said with friends who know that I am sick, I only say ESA because I know how jealous people can get. My friends know I can't work because of my illness, and they know I must be getting some benefits, and I keep it to sickness payment of ESA.
How can you get esa AND uc?
@littlemissgroove Apply for them. ESA, it taken off your UC, but then you get a supplement that covers most of what they take off. Also, ESA is a taxable benefit.
Allow open borders yet they target disabled British people. It's sick.
Same old song. The one thing they should certainly do is ABOLISH SANCTIONS ASAP!! Sanctions, alone, have killed thousands of innocent British people. And the DWP are yet to be held properly accountable for that. Until they abolish sanctions and go back to the way job centres used to be, then the deaths will continue on.
I was once sanctioned, after I found a job and had money stopped. There was an 'error' over paperwork cough cough. There was me thinking they, the dwp were meeting targets.
Don't see how sanctions are legal? If you look at reward or upgrade letters you get words along the lines of "The amount the law says you need to live off"
Druggies get £1600 a month and don't have to look for work, whilst other people have to look for work 35 hours a week and get about 400 a month universal credit. Very fair for people who have not spent a life in trouble with the police.
No 1 gets £1600 a' month ' you have been dreaming again 🤣
@@Ray-555 the civil servarts who work in the job centre are bias at best ' they make deliberate mistakes with essesment forms & claims ' to save money ' they should kick alot of them out ' how many civil servants do they need 🤷♂️
It all depends on what their definition of 'capable for work' entails. This is THE No.1 aspect in my opinion.
Tories and Labour... buy one, get one free - the opposite cheeks of the same backside.
Tory-Starmer & his pseudo Labour government
They keep revamping and revamping the benefit system howcabout revamping mps expenses or the £350 a day allowance for the lords they could save a small fortune here also without expenses there would not be as many mps
Yes I feel attacked I suffer from PTSD social anxiety and depression I get 3-4 hours sleep suffer from flashbacks how am I supposed to work. I’ve had CBT therapy twice to no avail
my wife's 63 years old and suffers from paranoid schizophrenia , she receives pip but in the not able to work group so she's not expected to look for work , although i don't know an employer who'd employ her with her condition , are her benefits safe ? , thank's
Sounds nice on the surface that those who genuinely can't work wont be made to do so. But how fair are the people going to be who decide whether you are capable of work or not? There could still be a lot of people who genuinely cannot work who're being classed as being able to work.
exactly that is spot on what im saying! the people doing these "assesments" how fair are they going to be or understanding of it.
@@DynamicDuoUKnot very if they use the same lot that's doing the assessments now.
@@sidsod1616 this is the first thing that needs changing for sure
@@DynamicDuoUK I was assessed as hearing fine in both ears but medically diagnosed as being profoundly deaf
So are the ones that are trying to milk the system, are the ones making it harder for the ones that cannot genuinely work ?
i had to read that twice im sorry my brains not with it today lol appologies beverely! i would say anyone milking it or faking would be caught eventually ( PIPs own admission 0% remember ) i know 2 who milk and fake it and run a youtube channel ( cant turn around and say u cant walk and then walk miles in a video ) lol but it happens, not that im a grass nor snitch but it happens .... so i get it.
As u know ourselves we got accused of the same thing, despite the fact i want to train to get into supporting people within the NHS which costs me money and 3 years of my life im still lazy ;-) ah well never mind!
But to answer your question they would certainly have an effect on the ones who genuinely need it yes.
@@DynamicDuoUK Take a look at NHS Involvement and Engagement, although, you probably have.
As a side note, remember how the retirement age was increased and will continue to. Imagine being expected to do a hard job, feeling very ill and approaching 70. I am able bodied, 73. Finished work at 68 through severe ill health. The thought of trying to struggle into work to do a heavy manual job still leaves me with a cold sweat. I thankfully had my pension, but I feel desperately for claimants.
PIP is a nightmare assessment.
@@deniserowley8549 the review form is even worse. You are basically claiming again on a form that is not fit for purpose. Tiny box to put all the information in you need to provide how your conditions affects you.
I found it no different to the ESA assessment. The only thing I found is the PIP assessors were more helpful
Its always the genuine Disabled thst victimised, when i came diwn with my illness i had to give up my job due to nerve damage & fibromyalgia, im in bed more than out of bed, how can i work of im struggling with nerve damage & fibromyalgia, i cant stand for long periods of time, im contently in pain that i dont sleep during the night, i also have other illnesses, i wouldnt of given up my job i had if i was fit to go out to work, my daughters care for me, so i dont even go out without there help , this is abuse to those that are not able to work or have a social life, forcing genuine disabled people back to work is abuse
Same here! Spine crumbling after 30yrs NHS! All the above, fibro etc. & a disabled child! My adult kids still live at home to care for us! Back to bed! Take good care!
I'm in same boat I loved being at work I worked in the care field sector now I'm lucky if I can do minimal house work ie doing dishes and I'm wiped out constant pain no sleeping a couple of the many hellish things we deal with having fibromyalgia (which i wouldnt wish on my worst enemy) we are the ones who will suffer not those who abuse the system
They say that, but they never do punish the one who fake it.. making those of us with real problems/disabilities look bad. They never word it correctly.
Our local job centre was closed down, because a lack of interest.
The irony of closing job centres.
Especially when the whole point of the changes is to get people in to work!
It’s all very well to say that disabled people who can work, must work. What I want to know is, what system will Labour put in place to distinguish between disabled people who can work and those who can’t. Under the Tories there have been heartbreaking cases where people have been found fit to work when they are not. I hope that whatever form the work capability assessment will take under Labour, it will prioritise the needs of disabled people ahead of bringing down the welfare bill. I saw an interview with Liz Kendall a while ago where she said that the best way to lower the number of people on disability benefit is to fix the NHS. That sounds good to me. I know that Labour have a lot on their plate, but I hope they will not keep us waiting too long before they let us know what their plans are.
There are very few people that are so disabled that they can't do any work at all. There seem to be a lot of people that can't do even the slightest thing to pay their way but are perfectly capable when it comes to enjoying social media all day. If you can waffle on Facebook, you can do data entry.
I don't think businesses will want to employ people that are ill or disabled, the only way they will is if the government cover the amount of hours the disabled workers will need for time off, hospital appointments, dr's, or even just going through pain or a mental episode. All those man hours lost.
As for making people do therapy if they are going through a bad time with mental health, Ive had sessions in the past and can honestly say it didn't work, for one most men find it hard to open up.
Thanks for the comment I agree with the part of men struggling to open up, I've been there and get this massively!
Your comment is spot on.
What will ultimately happen is the poor and vulnerable will continue to suffer, while the corporations will get even richer. Especially those who are financially connected to politicians and their families. Where are the jobs going to come from, with AI taking over a lot of jobs?
I think the worry is some Job Centre staff treat everyone with the same brush and don’t consider invisible disabilities. Of course there’s people who milk the system but there’s also people who genuinely can’t work and could easily be harmed by jaded staff
True Hannah ! The staff need to be on the same wave length as everyone else to ensure the practices they put into place actually work
They are already discharging those with serious mental illness from CMHTs back to GPs. This means no evidence to support claims for the roll out of ESA to UC. Some of these people are older, they have no friends, family or support. There is no advocacy or outreach to help fill in forms and liaise with DWP. Many of these people are stable but struggle and are unreliable. Occupational Health and CPNs are now in surgery assessing fitness for work, you can't see a specialist without seeing them first. Anything mandatory with threats of sanctions and closing down claims for non engagement is not help it's force. This is an accident waiting to happen. Client led, voluntary schemes work really well and can improve wellbeing. Pretending an illness or disability doesn't exist does not make it go away.
Not dragging people in for a review that will never get better would free up some resources
The nearest thing we've got to this is the 10 year "light touch" award
@@gbhxu is that the indefinite award?
@@nubie1100 Yes. Just means you're less likely to improve. You also get a shortened renewal form
@@gbhxu , I don't understand why I'm not on it? a few people I know claim for "mental ilness" and they're on high rate than me. madness.. I've been under professors and I'm getting worse and can't have an operation due to osteoporosis. Guess I don't lie enough on the forms eh 🤦♂️
I want to know how Labour is going to deal with the 10-year backlog of PIP reviews. I did my review in June, but it looks like I will be in limbo for over a year. I have Parkinson's, COPD, diabetic neuropathy, compressed nerves in the lower spine, as well as multiple conditions. I would like to see them get me back to work. The DWP must be thick if they think I will get better from a progressive illness that is incurable.
sounds a lot better than what weve had. but there should be no pressure to work if you have disabilities. that pressure only pushes you to breaking point. heck its one reason you can get disabilities.. being pushed or pushing too hard. ill note that ''when they are ready was inserted in there''. yes job centers or abuse centers should be replaced with help centers. and i agree with scrapping the benefits reduction on earnings. in favor of an earning cap where you once earning enough can move from benefits to being fully off benefits smoothly. taking half a persons earnings when they are struggling is not helping them to grow its keeping them down. it needs to change from attacking to helping claimants. them knowing how to help for a start and help not being forced that isn't helpful its just controlling. people need support to grow. not a system of oppression to keep them down. that is how to rebuild Britain. with love and unity not hate and division. this could well be our final war as a civilization. one in the minds ad hearts of every man woman and child. do we vote for hate or love ? peace or war ? to stay stuck and fade away or to grow ? either way its one heck of a show.
It seems like a ludicrous waste of time and money to keep doing assessments on people who are obviously never going to recover from their disability. If someone, for example, has severe learning difficulties that is never going to go away so why put their families through the stress of repeated reassessment? It would save a fortune and make life so much easier for disabled people if they just used some common sense
With Labour’s plans to privatise the NHS and still with no post-diagnostic assessments for those diagnosed with autism later in life, to assess both level of autism and appropriate levels of post-diagnostic supports required, how is this going to work with people with autism who have no idea what their support needs are, regardless of whether or not they want/need to get back into work, regardless of any legal obligations placed on employers? Indeed, how are they going to ensure that employers are meeting their legal obligations and legal responsibilities to disabled workers? Surely this comes under better enforcement measures against non-compliant employers that are more robust?
the NHS is mostly privatised now
My youngest was diagnosed adhd aged 21. This was after recognising herself when studying for her psychology degree. She also has some symptoms of autism. She is certain that I have adhd too. I've been told by my local health board that they don't do assessments for adult adhd as only children are affected, despite research to the contrary. Whatever saves them money works for them. Its also convenient to not have adult needs taken into consideration by business. If it can't be diagnosed, it can't be taken into consideration. The whole system is screwed up and needs private finance interests removed altogether.
Honestly sick of the we're going to be tougher talk... because it's worked so so well the past 14 years....
I think the same thing whenever I read about being tougher on drugs
Going for the lowest hanging fruit, I am now classed as disabled (unfit for work) collapsed twice at work, worked since I was 16 for nearly 40 years several different causes and illnesses, I love being poor NOT, I can just about manage my days in pain 24/7 no idea what work I could do,that wouldn’t send me to an early grave. I’m worried sick,which is not adding to my health, both physically and mentally even though I was awarded the Maximum 10 year award ON enhanced rate for both parts of PIP.
I knew labour were being deliberately evasive about welfare during the election. They wanted disabled people to vote for them on the off-chance they would be more compassionate to the disabled. Labour know how awful the pip system is. It's mostly Labour mps's who from time to time bring up the suicide rates in parliament. They didn't want to risk disabled people not voting for them but didn't want to offer anything concrete either so they could do what they want after the election. It all makes me really worried. Liz kendall worries me. It all feels like jumping from frying pan to fire atm.
It has become very apparent. There are people who vote for labour, becuase they just assume labour will show compassion towards people, because of their shiny image. If people questioned why labour were being so shifty about the sick and disabled, labour's staunch supporters, would just ridicule people who questioned things. Because we should just 'believe' things will be OK, because labour are 'just better'. And there were times where I explained to a staunch labour supporter, what was happening with starmer, reeves and the sickness benefits. And they were genuinely shocked. Becuase they just 'believe' labour wouldn't do things like this. But it was labour who introduced the horrific assessments when they were last in power. And during the last labour government, Blair tried to make massive cuts to sickness and disability, but was stopped by a massive back bench rebellion. Now Blair is calling the shots, starmer does as he's told. And I really doubt there are many ethical labour mps left in the party. Look at the company that lot keep. Ed balls doing a pod cast with George osbourne; the latter a person responsible for the destruction of his own people, via the horrific cuts targeting the sick and disabled. Blair goes to osbournes wedding. At one point there was talk of David Cameron being employed by starmer, as foreign secretary. We never really had a change of government. They've just had a rebrand. They are playing out a theatre, so the well-off can believe things are different. While the masses seethe with angry, as we get gaslit like this.
Remember when Jess Phillips laughed when male suicide rate were mentioned fk labour

Why Id never vote Labour again.Now vote Reform .
Reform formed by MI5/6 & 77th Brigade. Think again.
The unrealistic alternatives to helping people get back to work like access to the NHS for counselling, physical illness, and any other treatment (non-existent). There is a 7m waiting list. Lots of those would be able to work, for example, waiting for hip replacements and psychiatric support. Long-term sick include those waiting for treatment.
I hate the term P.I.P. No amount of money will give me back my independence. The changeover from dla to pip was humiliating for me. I had to fail multiple "tests" and even had one crazy cow ask to touch my scars incase they were fake! They had my medical files infront of them but still made me relive my entire trauma. This scheme sounds like billions down the drain.
Stop paying for hotels hosing illegal immigrants I resent it
They want us all on UC by September? Impossible my money goes on the bills to help my family stay above water
Red Tories
The other way round, the Conservatives turned into socialists.
When they have gone after tax cheats then we should maybe think about others alike .
They would have to go after themselves...
That’s going after their donors, and they need to fund their offshore accounts.
I am worried as I suffer with long term illnesses Fibromyelgia, M. E, C. F. S, mental health. I can not see how any employer would employ me, I can not plan anything as I am in pain all of the time, there are several days a week I am unable to get out of bed. Please help
I am exactly the same with same conditions so I understand how you feel . We literally can’t be relied on to make arrangements as our conditions fluctuate constantly throughout the day . There’s no treatment let alone a cure so I can’t see how we could work. It would be like driving a car with no petrol .
I also have fibromyalgia & nerve damage, if i was fit to look after myself i wouldnt need my daughters to, shower me, dress me on clothing i cant put on, rely on my daughters to cook & take me to hospitals if i was able to do these things myself, i give my job up due to my illness but since i left my ilness is far worse to deal with daily living now, i was very inderpendant until i got my illness noe rely on others to do the things i cant this does annoy me that genuine disabled people is always the targets than the young ones that just to lazy to get out of bed & dont want the work
Make uc paid every 2 weeks and no more six weeks wait to get the first paynent .
Would be better, they designed it monthly to insinuate the same payment you would get on a job getting paid monthly. That was the whole idea behind the universal Credit monthly payment but in actual fact it makes people struggle.
@@witchygypsy4366
Iam not going on it
You can normally get an advanced payment , but it will come out your months money
Before the end of browns labour they had a thing were you could try out a job for three months but if you found that you couldnt cope due health problems you could continue with your benifits i tryed it ut my back went so had to leave and went straght back sickness .but it was good to try but could do with help baCk into work but not bullied back into work but if its genuine help and humane im in .
I think they will be as bad as the tories. My disabilities fluctuate and I’m autistic
don't forget libur brought in the assessment scheme
I spent nearly £2000 on getting a hgv licence as there was ( apparently ) a shortage of drivers .
I tried to get a job driving Lorries however, i was then told that i needed at least one year experience in order to get a job ?
Catch 22 ,…….?
This is the exact reason I didn't waste my money on this course, I was offered by some companies to do so on the basis I paid them back but I would need to do 75 hours a week and never be from home, fair enough it's a demanding role but when your given the chance to train and work yourself to death or train and pay for it then have no job it's absolutely ridiculous
I think it will make a few of us anxious aspecially when you feel you are unable to work seems interesting still feels like an attack on us . Give them the benefit of the doubt. Will be looking out for more of your brilliant videos thank you to you cara and the sausage babies

@@Ray-555 Yes! Starmer still feeding the likes of Atos.
How the effing hell does it tackle poverty. If they take someone off PIP who struggles to work, that person is then thrown into poverty. A lot of people rely on the money to keep a roof over their heads. So now not only poor but homeless. Well done Labour, the once party of the working class.
The stressed out JOB CENTER staff will be very unhappy
@kevcatnip7589 With future A.I. coming, you can only imagine the problems in the future. A.I. will do away with many low paid service sector jobs and governmental front-line civil service jobs. You can only imagine what the third industrial revolution will entail as we move through the mid to later 21st century. Mass unemployment and social poverty like never before.
How can people "lie about their jobsearch" when applications have to be put in their (online) UC journal and jobcentre staff can check to see if they've actually applied for these jobs?
They only check jobs that the work coach referred them to. They don't check jobs the claimant said they applied for.
I find it ridiculous for people that are on the carers allowance to receive such a small sum, but also the clause restricts whatever spare hours you have left from working to make ends meet.
It's not like people want to be on it. Anyone can have a sick family member to look after at some point in their life.
Yes, it's a pittance.
They should pay this to working Mums rather than the government pay for child care
if your in a wheel chair you may need help getting on public transport and then i'ts getting to a job isn't it. but hey the dwp say if you can sit down, you can get a sit down job, but what if your not qualified in many sit don jobs either as well as having no help to get you and your wheel chair to a place of work?
I’m a newish amputee using a wheelchair and have other health issues. I can’t even get out of my yard without being pushed. Never mind getting on public transport. I’d need someone after work to get me back down my drive. How would that work? I was retired from work due to my other conditions and after 27 years. Rely on pip for a carer, cleaner How would I manage with vouchers? And a glossy catalogue with nothing in there I need?!
@@debsykes3056 Hi there that was my point of the comment the dwp either don't live in the real world or want to fob you off. i a talking from my own experience of going through this a few years ago now and witnessing friends go through it. after my first report I then decide to look into this as I couldn't believe it. i joined some pip/uc/esa/ facebook groups, researched ont he internet. even came across an article by a doctor & nurse, the nurse was the one applying and even they caught the dwp out as PROPER health professionals. I was in a situation where the nhs and top specialist had an idea what was wrong but my conditions are all invisible and one which I won't mention here is known as the most chronic pain known to man kind with a high 26-28% suicide rate, it comes on in attacks. the work place were finding me unreliable and heres the thing they have the legal right to sack you, should you be off and on to much and if you take shorter periods off work than one lump sum of sickness sin one go, it makes your sickness record look even worse. then the dwp say otherwise, nether one of those 3 could help or want me. But yes even if you don't live alone you may have relatives who have to get to their won place of work and still can't help you. but hey as i've commented on my of this channels dwp pip videos, after listening to the bbc radio series last year called "fit for work" the criteria to qualify was set up by insurance company called uman. NOT a set of proper health professionals.
People who claim benefits who can work are few and far between and a drop in the ocean compared to the wealthiest who have billions in off shore accounts and do not pay enough tax even if they do keep their bank accounts in this country. Welcome to the new tory's mark 2 government. I despair at the cruelty they are inflicting on the disabled yet again when Thousands died last time the tories did this!!😢
Exactly a lot of people automatically assume that those who claim benefits are lazy and that it's just free money.
People seriously have no clue and no idea because they've never been in that reality.
I know a lot of people and I mean a lot of people who work and enjoy their jobs but have to be topped up because the wages are so poor.
And unfortunately they don't have the facility to work two or three jobs a week.
Some people just live in a random world I'm sure of it 🤣
I ain't working no matter what political parties thinks. I'm self sufficient, after 50 I had an enough, seven years in it was the best decision I've made.
Is he gonna get all the ppl who come over in boats working too 😂😂😂
Those on UC are mostly workers! I hope it doesn’t mean they will stop UC for workers
we will need to see as the top ups are crucial for a lot of people.
Absolutely! The legacy benefits were better. UC gets you caught in the trap of handing over that huge percentage of earnings - need help with rent so claim UC and you’re on a loser.
@@DynamicDuoUKbtw - do you know the name of that woman MP appointed as head of DWP or minister of disabled?
@@LemonPuf 100%. They should remove the taper of the 55p earned in the pound. It helps nobody and it actually makes people poorer, why should those on benefits be taxed on their own benefit?!
@@LemonPuf Liz Kendall :)
You keep saying disabled. What about sick? I'm 51 years old, on ESA with mental issues like anxiety and paranoia and I take medication for them, and I'm also reliant on urinary catheters to empty my bladder (I cannot do it otherwise). I would imagine I'd be OK, as I volunteer frequently at a charity shop, but I'm certainly not one of those who sits on his backside all day enjoying benefits without doing anything to "earn" them.
Do you think Labour are any better for the unemployed or the working man? Must have short memories or have never voted before.....smash the duopoly!
Excellent. As always.
I see no difference. You-cannot-dress-a-turd-up-as-a-rose. They are still at war with the disabled for what reason?
What I do see is more privatization for targets and profit.
Trying to dress up a turd as a rose is quite the visual! now i cannot unsee haha but i agree why the war on disabled so much? need to support and if they do i'll be happy but they class disabled as a huge financial cost on soceity. pensioners is also a benefit but they dont get attacked so makes no sense to me !
@@DynamicDuoUK The world needs a whipping boy, and sadly they've made it the disabled.
@@DynamicDuoUKI’ve known for some time that they have been attacking the elderly for quite some time, even before Covid and it’s even worse back home in Ireland - taxing pensions and making elderly people apply for certain elements of pension entitlements, free travel passes and medical cards is tame by comparison - I’m not that far off pension age myself, so I’m dreading ages 65-75 in the next few years
Its all well and good wanting disabled people to work but, it's the employers that have a problem with recruiting disabled people. All they see is, how much is it going to cost us in reasonable adjustments. Maybe the government should be penalising companies who do not take on at least 50 per cent of their workforce, who are disabled.
VERY WELL SAID!❤
I lost my job due to an accident. They fired me on capability. I’m disabled
the jobcenter kinda sucks, the way its ran is terrible and the way employers treat JSA recipients is also terrible, you get put on 2 weeks free labour essentially and even if you can do the job correctly and at a sufficient level they still wont hire you, that is the single biggest issue with the job center, the government wants to get people working? make it easier to get a job make it so that after the 2 weeks if the employee does the job advertised at a sufficient level and they are competent at the job THEY ARE GUARANTEED THE JOB and 2 weeks back pay from the employer to get them on their feet that is how you get people into work properly, stop sanctioning people for not applying for jobs they are not qualified for and work in the interests of the to be employee how does it make sense to punish people looking for work? and why is it ok to make those people essentially work for less then minimum wage that isn't even payed by the person employing them for 2 weeks ?
Labour are mainly focusing on the disability part of universal credit ie “lcwra” rather then pip.Also they are also mainly targeting younger people rather then the older people.
Also the PM has made it clear that whether you are poor or disabled or both poverty is a main factor of focus.The main charities have contacted the new welfare minister regarding the tories proposal of replacing cash payments from pip.I think Labour will not entertain the tories proposal of pip but they will look into lcwra which is part of universal credit.Keep up the good work guys 👍
Also employers must be made to pay sick pay and stamp for part time work.
I was born with Spina Bifida (spinal curvature). In recent years, it has become chronic. My mobility is more limited now than it was maybe 20 years ago. I use a walker in the house. And a mobility scooter when I go outside. I can't work because of my limited mobility. And there are very few disabled accessable places where I live (in a small town on the South East coast). And i can't travel on public transport anymore. From what the guy was saying in the video, the government and DWP basically don't give 2 hoots about those of us with genuine long term conditions. It's basically "Get off benefits and work. Or we'll take your benefits away regardless". Essentially leaving us with nothing.
I feel for you mainly because it wasn't your fault. Just pray that you're not around when enough Muslims enter this country and are able to vote for sharia law. There aren't any benefits in middle east.
@@jamesan2517 your comment indicates your racist ignorant indivdual whats muslims got to do with this nobody wants shariah law even muslims them selves you are pathetic most muslim prople work unlike you claiming benfits
But Could you not do a desk job?
Answering the phone would be a start.
I think they may be a few people that are shy of working but the majority of people are generally unable to work for different reasons and also they get people back into work. Where are the jobs you’re going to supermarket and most of them are nowadays are self-service so that cuts out jobs in shops for people that may not want a stressful job but I prepared to go back to work for a few hours a day. It is very very difficult and there will never be 100% answer to these problems but they must think very very carefully before they make any moves they have been cases where people have committed suicide and starts to death because of actions taken, by the DWP 😢
Ill happily take a job offer but for now i only need part time. If the job centre can actually get me something that is. Having zero luck on my own. Its like the places hiring just have the advertisemnts up for fun because i aint getting no calls back lol
big push on DWP and pip, and yet an inquest into a shower door falling off on a detention centre, what a joke.
I have bipolar disorder, diabetes 2, asthma, FND, chronic back/knee pain after an accident, and sleep apnea. I live in the middle of nowhere and cannot drive due to those conditions. I can fall asleep unintentionally, even when talking to someone, looking at a screen, etc. Also, constant pain and strong medication side effects are brutal. I do get PIP - every penny of it is used purely related to those illnesses - social care is a joke, and why should I claim it if I already have benefits to pay. Therefore, I pay a cleaner, gardener, and carer support. I have twin 12-year-olds, one mildly autistic - I have managed to keep him out of the care system.
He is in a small class (15 children, 3 TAs and a teacher) for children with SEN. He is in Year 7, and they've extended it to Year 8. That's the oldest they can support. I hope they can manage him into the mainstream. I hope he will not need to move to a specialist school, but it won't be determined for over a year.
The boys are accommodating and understanding, but I sometimes pay someone to take them out on activities. One with autism does need help at night if he wakes up, so I sleep while they are at school the next day.
I wish I was well and able to work, but it is impossible now. If I could swap all those disabilities with someone able to work, I'd be much happier. A life free of pain and the opportunity to enjoy time with my children and earn/be self-sufficient again.
The daft thing is that I pay out more than the benefit amount. I don't expect DWP to pay for the total amount,
You can't work but you can have 2 kids ?
Asthma and type 2 diabetes aren't reasons not too work. Loads of people have those problems
I WAS WORKING 60HOURS+ 7 DAYS A WEEK TO LIVE IN POVERTY. I'M NOW UNEMPLOYED N STILL IN POVERTY. BUT DONT HAVE TO DO MASSIVE EFFORT EVERYDAY TO BE POOR. IF IT WAS WORTH IT. I WOULD DO IT. BUT IT'S NOT. on the plus side I'm enrolled in FREE higher education. for very well paid employment. that I love doing but have no qualifications in which are required to perform the work industrially. if I was working I could not afford the training or the time off work to do the training required. This will be three or four years of poverty. all 4 bits of paper. 4 a job doing something I can do already. young people going into the work place. are doomed
Personally, i’d love to see the whole thing scrapped and replaced by universal basic income. It would be possible to fund by just redirecting money from other areas. I think this is the only sensible solution long term which could combat all potential problems with poverty, illness, and the future of work where AI and robots do a lot more. UBI makes complete sense to me, but may be far too progressive to be generally accepted quickly. Labour have only been in power for 4 days, and they’ve already done a lot of good things. But this kind of reform would restructure society and take decades alas… but I do think with AI and robots doing more work that UBI is inevitable.
@@Ray-555 That’s not de facto UBI …I’ve lived through only 1 labour government, but experienced the many benefits brought in by the labour government after world war 2. Life has always been a lot better with labour and I’m very excited that they are finally back in power. Only trouble is the country is in such a mess that it’ll take 2 terms to turn things around. They’ve only been in power 5 days, give em a chance lol.
Communist scroungers wanting UBI.
If everybody gets "free money", where does the money come from?
Santa f>cking Claus?
@@LumpyMoose deluded communist. Where is this money coming from? Money machine go brrrrrr? Oh no! Inflation means food now go bye bye.
Great video it still looks to me like they are attacking the disabled and vulnerable I'm sorry that I'm disabled through no fault of my own I had an accident in my younger years and fractured my spine now I am riddled with arthritis I'm now 55 no employer in their right mind would employ me I struggle to walk etc I did have a great job but had to give it up after the accident I had which wasn't my fault
Sorry to hear. 🤕
I worked with my disability for 14 years then when my second health condition which I spent 2 years trying to get diagnosed whilst I worked through both pandemics with untreated MS fighting for diagnosis and treatment only then for when my contract ran out to lose my key worker job and 12 years of pensions had an assessment to say I am limited work capability even though I cannot guarantee a full day of work let alone a week due to my MS symptoms and pain from my spinal injury do I still need to work??? What a joke
They haven't got the staff for their grand plans
@@Ray-555 Long term unemployed are scroungers. "Lone parents" should have thought it through before becoming such.
I don't owe anything to any of them.
Correct according to the public service union 25 to 30k under staffed
It's ironic really get you in to work only for you to have to claim benefits to top up your wages because work does not pay enough for you to live on.
I'veost count of the job offers I've had to turn down with the reason 'I couldn't afford to work there'.
Just tell the Home Office that you're in this country illegally and they'll put you up in a 4-star hotel. You won't have to claim Universal Credit as your food and accommodation will be provided for you. With the Rwanda bill now officially scrapped they won't even attempt to deport you.
Heartwarming idea, Robert. Not a new idea, though; if you were to ask any experienced Citizens Advice/Welfare Rights advisor they would shoot you down in flames. The reality is that migrants do NOT live in 5star conditions as the hotels are generally overcrowded slums providing one small meal a day, often consisting of rotten ingredients. And the migrants don't get free mansions, Ferraris, or tickets to England matches either.
New boss, same as the old boss
Same old warr on the poor.vote reform
people may in the next GE but there is five years to go yet, quite a while so voting reform wouldn't help anyone at the moment mike.
@@DynamicDuoUK Don't expect Reform to be any better, in fact they would probably make life unbelievably tougher for everyone on the pip or poverty line.

Hello both. They just stuck me on a restart scheme while im waiting for hospital treatment and a tribunal date for court. Been waiting 8 months to date. Crazy people.
Labour need to scrap universal credit or fix it because as it stands universal credit is a joke. Ever since it came out the food banks soon followed.
Oh yes they will scrap it and replace it with a hardcore system i don't trust any of them
