It's an absolutely stupid idea having to visit clothing shops and supermarkets with vouchers as your payable method You'd feel alienated from everybody else who use cash and cards We are not in world war three just yet People with physical illness can develop a mental illness because they've no money People with mental illness won't be able to go out as normal and could develop physical illnesses through lack of exercise Then people gossip Look at them using vouchers for clothing and food It's an open door to degrade someone more than they might feel already I could go on and on about this new idea to save money but one last point is Why should the most needy suffer for government debt to a prison of vouchers!

What rubbish is this? PLEASE KEEP IT CASH. Being declare that you can’t work than to read this none-sense is like WHAT?. Voucher doesn’t even come near to what PIP money does with me for my everyday needs. I can’t even begin to explain how much of help this is every month. I’m pretty much some people are on the same boat as me. We can’t keep up with food rent gas electricity bills due to 

What none-sense is this? What rubbish is this?. PIP money helps me with a LOT OF THINGS. What am I suppose to do with a voucher? 

I agree with others this is ridiculous and giving to stress and struggle to disabled people 

I have physical and mental disabilities at least 40 diagnosis physical and mental altogether. I agree with others opinion that for someone like me this voucher idea even making me more ill now because it just won’t work for my needs, impossible. It’s actually extremely worrying to hear this idea still is on. I thought with the new government this will change to back to same as before. There are things and needs cannot be sorted via voucher. If the voucher is the same as the money amount, what do you save by doing this. This is just making disabilities life harder and more stressful. Stress is already cause of almost every illness except the genetics or other outside causes. It’s not fair because this means you don’t believe in and trust disabilities. It’s like an assult to us, to doctors and examiners. Making life harder and unhappier and this is not done to any other people who lives with other benefits, it’s only done to the people who are disabled. The thing I don’t understand the people will use the voucher let’s say if the person is getting 500pounds benefit. What is being saved and protected by doing this. It’s really hurtful and I won’t ever be able to understand why the ideas going backwards like poor country’s treat their disabled people like that. Even the poor countries recently started to pay for their disabled citizens. And a country like UK, trying to make it like not understandable way. It’s just sad. It’s just making you feel like I wish I was healthy like others. Yes, this is probably their aim but some illnesses are not fixable and my every condition is a life long ones , some of them from born, some of them auto immune disease and some connected causes and triggers so I just don’t understand why would you make your citizen regret being disabled, it’s like a threat. So some people go back to work. Then if there is an aim like this, do not smash the ones who didn’t deserve this treat by including all that amount people , just because from every 100 people 10 of them is still ill/disable but workable level. I would never judge anyone as they/some people are not disabled. There are many things in this life can be invisible. You can’t go into people’s body to mark their level of pain and suffer and what went through what they are going through, what they lived. It really shakes my heart and all my body parts into tears. If there is a problem like that government doesn’t believe, I don’t think this should be the way to solve an issue like this by giving stress and suffer to your disabled citizens life. It could of have been solved in many other ways as a solution options. 

Can we access the consultation and respond to it? 

When there's a new petitions committee, spooled up on UK Petitions, start one to put politicians salary, expenses and allowances paid in vouchers, see how they like it.🤣

B@$***** The lot of them, I've picked up a spinal injury that causes bouts of paralysis and constant pain, I applied back in February and was meant to get results in April, after being declined because they assessed me based on my best day and totally ignored everything I told them when I was at my worst. My mandatory reconsideration was meant to be concluded by June which was the end of the 8 week period and I'm now being told I have to wait until the 12th of August and now I see why. If it changes to vouchers they're gonna say I'm not inclined to any backpayments as the system has now changed. Thieves the lot of them

I am on pip and I think it's ridiculous expecting  people to use vouchers  will the electric  and gas except vouchers  to pay for these 

I dont agree with the voucher scheme it's grossly unfair, we wouldn't be allowed to choose care which best suits our needs instead we would have to go were the voucher can be redeemed more than likely some rich person who obviously needs the money ( caviar is expensive). Most of us are using parts of our pip for daily living due to the cost of living we don't have spear cash and vouchers would make our health worse 

Go on kier starmers Instagram twitter  etc and start shouting ive just been on them  

Vouchers are a terrible idea, it makes disabled people feel like 2nd class citizens& of little self worth. It will put people into more debt, going without food & even suicide. It should not reflect on us that DWP are not assessing properly  in the first place. We are not a joke, & easy disposable problem as Sunak thinks we are because he spent millions in the wrong places& not do the job properly. He's just a Tory puppet. 

Our house had to be reconfigured after my 2nd stroke a d we increased our mortgage to pay for all the building work. How am I supposed to pay my larger mortgage with vouchers? 

I have autism, I also have very bad mental health issues as well. The thought that they're considering (maybe) going a head with this is scary and they shouldn't do it.  I feel very sad that many people like me or similar are being punished for seeking support when we need it (I'm not asking for anyone to feel sorry for me).

Please Liz Kendall can you keep payments coming out as cash because I need the cash to help pay for my extra food and clothing and taxes and bills I need the money every month every day essentials please keep a transfer cash coming out a banks for the basic essentials I'm already living in poverty and I need this cash and also my limited capacity to cope with every day needs or however in poverty as I will many many many others so please consider just keeping transfer cash coming out of banks and also the limited capacity for people like me and so many others are suffer from disabilities please Liz Kendall thinks about uplifting Tories proposals .I vote labour to be fairer government over the Tories.

I've got physical and mental health issues this voucher thing won't work it's bloody crazy to think it will xxx 

We don't want voichers

Bear with me on this.

They have had local authorities sign safety valve contracts to cut ehcps by 20% to keep disabled children in mainstream schools and cut specialist provisions. There’s already no commissioned direct therapies for children let alone adults. Talking therapies isn’t a cure for autism/Adhd, how do they plan vouchers cure pragmatic language imapirement or co-occurring conditions with physical disabilities. Early intervention doesn’t exist for children. Assessment pathways have years of waiting lists for children and adults. Adult services can’t meet needs, there is no commissioned therapies for disabled community, employers admit screening disabled out but they want disabled working to mitigate immigration. Warehousing disabled because it’s cheaper than them providing carers so they can live independently. Am lost for words when it’s clear this is about our lack of social and economic volarity. 

This is so stupid and not needed. Disabled people won't be able to use these vouchers to pay people for work. The new government needs to stop this from happening, we definitely don't want it.
