    Including someone with narcolepsy, who is also in a state today.
  • floatyhippyflower floatyhippyflower:
    So it's bad either way.
  • floatyhippyflower floatyhippyflower:
    Next time I am assessed, if the changes have been made, I'm toast.
  • floatyhippyflower floatyhippyflower:
    The first change: you have to score four points (of four) in at least one Daily Living descriptor to qualify for any at all. Currently this excludes people who can only microwave ready meals and need help to wash or dress below the waist, as these are only three points each. It means someone with profound needs, scoring threes across the whole spectrum and need regular support, would now no longer quality for even the low rate.
  • floatyhippyflower floatyhippyflower:
    The cumulative points won't matter anymore if there is not a four-scoring descriptor.
  • floatyhippyflower floatyhippyflower:
    Then they want to link UC disability premium with PIP, so if you don't get PIP Daily, you don't get the premium either. This premium is going to be cut in half, so even if you do get PIP Daily, you're still losing two or three grand per year.
  • floatyhippyflower floatyhippyflower:
    If you don't get PIP Daily, your carer cannot claim carer's allowance.
  • floatyhippyflower floatyhippyflower:
    And so on and so forth.
  • floatyhippyflower floatyhippyflower:
    It's bad.
  • RYKANSLOPE RYKANSLOPE:
    seems complicated
  • floatyhippyflower floatyhippyflower:
    It's just the knock-on effect. Sorry, that was a blurb.
  • floatyhippyflower floatyhippyflower:
    I'm still feeling quite ranty, it seems, but the terror is real.
  • floatyhippyflower floatyhippyflower:
    It just took me nineteen gruelling months to win PIP last year and in the end, they awarded on the original evidence after all. Apparently, however, it is too easy to claim.
  • floatyhippyflower floatyhippyflower:
    Tell that to the narcolepsy girl still awaiting her first-stage results after a year.
  • floatyhippyflower floatyhippyflower:
    It's just bad. So bad, it's badder than Tories.
  • floatyhippyflower floatyhippyflower:
    Fuck. I'm gonna shut up and have a whisky. It's been three weeks since I have been near any booze, but I think I might make an exception today.
  • floatyhippyflower floatyhippyflower:
    Sorry, luv.
  • RYKANSLOPE RYKANSLOPE:
    I am sorry
  • bez23 bez23:
    It's an indefensible disgrace.
  • RYKANSLOPE RYKANSLOPE:
    @floatyhippyflower,
    I'm drinking myself
