They have however done a hell of a lot talking across all aspects of polices and upset a whole load of professional people along the way and severely damaged many families along the way it's no wonder the people of the uk are so disengaged with politics<br /><br />They are a party not only of continuous bad error of judgment but also show a complete disregard of everyone in the uk around them especially the young and the vulnerable <br /><br />The recession was caused by very clever educated people from many walks of low life to create a situation to bring slavery back right in to the very heart of Europe so that it's living standards are aligned with china and they have succeeded <br /><br />As for this country ever going forward again that is very unlikely and certainly not over the next ten years <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10124601639681931119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568034298343558962.post-84394731325401463122012-12-13T19:04:16.579+00:002012-12-13T19:04:16.579+00:00Now isn't interesting that DLA/PIP was suppose...Now isn't interesting that DLA/PIP was supposedly a benefit to help with daily life and the extra costs being disabled can cause but they emphesise that usually it is given to help some continue in work(sound familiar?)but really more of us need it to pay for daily bills that do affect our conditions such as trying to heat our homes and have a reasonable diet and with changes coming in trying to keep a roof over our heads.<br /><br />But if their statement could be believed as delivered today on PIP the same criteria should exist for ESA which we know is not the case so why would we believe what we are being told regarding PIP?<br /><br />I never rated Esther McVey as a TV presenter so it is kind of amazing to see her in Parliament and representing the party that she is...then again perhaps not when you see many of those who are in the house of commons.<br /><br />Thank you for the posts Nick.The Great Gildersleevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14645982900310730576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568034298343558962.post-43024693524378796422012-12-13T18:29:21.980+00:002012-12-13T18:29:21.980+00:00Any talk at this time with regards the above in be...Any talk at this time with regards the above in being a clime down is false. There have been many deaths associated with the welfare reform process so far and i believe if the above is true is because of that fact and that fact alone <br /><br />The Conservatives hopefully will be out of power in 2015 but those deaths that have occurred on their watch will however not have disappeared and that justice for the families involved will as I've always stated be delivered in a court at a later date for the negligence that has occurred but at this time has not be publicly talked about or debated in the news<br /><br />Justice for those that have died and their families who were told they were fit for work but weren't and subsequently died needs addressing in a court of law and those responsible whoever they are irrespective of their position need to be charged at best with negligence so that this dreadful atrocity can never happen again <br />Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10124601639681931119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568034298343558962.post-3293381073306096342012-12-13T18:26:29.110+00:002012-12-13T18:26:29.110+00:00continued

However 230,000 will get the same support or more support. <br /><br />Under the new criteria, almost a quarter of PIP recipients will get both of the highest rates – worth £134.40 each week – compared to only 16% on DLA. <br /><br />But by reforming the system, ensuring it is fit for the 21st century... we can use the money we spend on disabled people more efficiently and effectively, to help those most in need.<br />Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10124601639681931119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568034298343558962.post-89102304208294347872012-12-13T18:24:33.036+00:002012-12-13T18:24:33.036+00:0013 December 2012
Esther McVey MP
Minister for ...13 December 2012<br /> <br />Esther McVey MP<br /> <br />Minister for Disabled People<br /> <br />Oral statement on Personal Independence Payment<br /> <br />House of Commons<br /> <br /> <br />Reform<br /> <br />The Government is committed to enabling disabled people to fulfil their potential and play a full role in society. <br /><br />Crucial to this is the reform of Disability Living Allowance – a lifeline for many, but which is simply not working in its current form.<br /> <br />In the last 10 years the number of people claiming rose by over a third, from around 2.4 million to 3.2 million. <br /><br />And expenditure is now far in excess of initial estimated costs. <br /><br />This year DWP expects to spend over £13 billion on DLA<br /> <br />As a percentage of GDP, we spend a fifth more than the EU average on disability benefits. <br /><br />... and expect to spend more in real terms in 2015/16 than we did in 2009/10.<br /> <br />Today<br /> <br />Today we are publishing the Government’s consultation responses –, on the draft assessment criteria... and on the detailed design of PIP. <br /><br />Alongside this, I will be laying in draft in Parliament the main PIP regulations, setting out the PIP entitlement conditions, assessment criteria and payment rates. And we will also publish in draft what the transitional arrangements might look like.<br /> <br />The main scheme regulations are subject to the affirmative procedure and I look forward to debating them in full early next year.<br /> <br />Personal Independence Payment will be, easier to understand and administer, financially sustainable, and more objective.<br /> <br />Throughout the whole development, we have consulted widely with disabled people. We have used their views to inform policy design and implementation plans. As a result of hearing these views, we have made several key changes to the final assessment criteria.<br /> <br />I would like to thank the individuals and organisations who contributed. <br /><br />Starting with the rates. I am pleased to confirm the rates for PIP will be set at the same rates as DLA. <br /><br />The daily living enhanced rate of PIP will be the same as the higher rate care component of DLA<br /> <br />And the standard rate of the daily living component will be set at middle rate DLA care component<br /> <br />The mobility rates of PIP will be the same as the DLA rates<br /> <br />Furthermore, following the Autumn Statement, these disability benefits will be protected within our uprating measures.<br /> <br />PIP, like DLA and Carer’s Allowance, will continue to be uprated by inflation.<br /> <br />Changes<br /> <br />The most important thing I want to announce today is that we have listened and acted on the huge amount of consultation we have had with disabled people and disability groups<br /> <br />We have made specific, key changes as a result of our engagement.<br /> <br />Outlined in full in our consultation responses, these include...<br /> broadening our approach to aids and appliances, assessing ability to read and taking account of specialist orientation aids that help mobility<br />mirroring the linking rules for DLA – helping ensure continuity for people with fluctuating conditions<br />and new plans for contacting young people when they reach the age of 16 or their appointees to help a smooth transition to PIP<br /> <br />All the changes we have made address the genuine concerns of disabled people and the organisations representing them.<br /> <br />Overall, their effect is to make PIP more transparent, objective, and fair...<br /> <br />Reassessment Strategy <br /><br />We also listened carefully to concerns about the speed of reassessment.<br /> <br />To that end we will now undertake a significantly slower reassessment timetable to ensure we get this right. <br /><br />It will be phased in starting with new claims only in a controlled start area in the North West and parts of the North East of England from April 2013. <br /><br />We will then take new claims nationally from June 2013.<br /> <br />From October 2013 we will start reassessing people whose DLA award is due to end, people who report a change in condition and young people who reach the age of 16. <br /><br />But now the peak period of reassessments will not start until October 2015.<br /> <br /><br />.<br /> <br />Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10124601639681931119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568034298343558962.post-79444931794440236202012-12-13T16:06:12.546+00:002012-12-13T16:06:12.546+00:00New announcement on PIP in Parliament today.

I've just been a right wing reactionary f...Wow! I've just been a right wing reactionary for a couple of moments and it was great to feel self-righteous, indignant and full of hate-filled bile! Then the rational side of my brain kicked in and I realised I was being daft and falling for one of the oldest tricks in the book and here's how and why.<br /><br />I read that Daily Mail scrounger-living-the-life-of-Riley story.<br /><br />At first I gave in to that part of me that the story was meant to affect: someone else living it up at my expense or some such nonsense. Then the curious, analytical, deconstructive part of me kicked in and suddenly the story took on a new light.<br /><br />Firstly, we are presented with a person who claims to be lavishing all sorts of gifts on her children even though she's on benefits. There's no evidence to back this up other than a list of her benefits but again no proof this is what she receives. When I was a young 'un I used to boast that I had a highly paid job and loads of other stuff, like a flash motor and smart pad, in order to charm the ladies. I never got into the Daily Mail though, I wonder how this person did?<br /><br />Secondly, how come there's no other voices heard in this piece of journalistic brilliance? Then I noticed it's a bit of what's called Churnalism, taken from that widely acclaimed magazine Closer no less! <br /><br />Now I'm no Doctor or General Practitioner* but I do possess half a brain and realise this is after all the Daily Mail website. A place that's notorious for non-stories, salacious gossip and celebrity items, all put together to attract internet traffic in order to satisfy advertisers.<br /><br />It's also very strange that the Mail never seem to run stories about the more numerous cases of people struggling on benefits, the deaths of people being hounded by the DWP and the many horror stories regarding Atos. Could it be that these don't rile their readership as much as scrounger stories or could it be that the Fail is a Tory rag and wants to show support for the Government's pernicious actions. I wonder?<br /><br />*For the benefit of the Troll.Gordon Blimeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267237530615863696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568034298343558962.post-20483620205926136762012-12-11T08:39:05.218+00:002012-12-11T08:39:05.218+00:00Thanks Nick,it's nice to know Sue is getting o...Thanks Nick,it's nice to know Sue is getting on well. Obviously i don't know her personally, but i am a great follower of her posts. I have read the comments on this site for a long time and was recently compelled to write here, as i feel the need to support Sparticus causes more than ever. I understand how important sue is to many disabled people who need a voice to their concerns about being treated so poorly by the very unfair welfare reforms.
