Yet again disabled people seem to be top of the list to be shot at regarding the countries ongoing problems. It seems to be a constant battle of filling in form after form to prove that you are genuinely disabled, unwell or not able to work - not through choice I will add. Do these politicians think we are a quick fix and life is hunky dory and with a new alarm clock set for 8am we can get up, showered, dressed, breakfast, out the door on into suitable employment. There’s a pig flying outside my living room looking for rocking horse **** being followed by Lord Lucan riding a unicorn. Give us a break! They seem to be able to throw millions elsewhere and think nothing of it, so why does it feel we are the ones to be persecuted again. Politicians are out of touch, end of.

Listening to the Shadow Health Sec on Radio 2 earlier, they seem to think on the same lines. Yet more stress anxiety and depression kicking in already.

Hi Libra

We have had a few members that have had ESA reviews, but not many.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

According to this article, changes will not happen until 2029:

dpac.uk.net/2023/03/disability-news-serv...23-via-johnpringdns/

It will have to go through Parliament, as it is a proposed change in law. The Conservative Party may not get in next time (General Elections will be next year [probably] sometime between May and end of December.

ESA forced migration to UC, was kicked back to 2028 sometime last year…
I appreciate it is very stressful, but we still have a 5 year reprieve at the moment….
