After writing last week’s blog their cruel plans were confirmed and I fear it’ll be worse than I initially thought.

Please read my previous blog post for more details.

I’m angry, well I’m beyond angry and I’m scared for every single person that will be affected by these proposed changes myself included.

I wrote this on X, formally known as Twitter, #autumnbudget #budget social murder by design.

Honestly I don’t believe I’m wrong about this I wish I was. I couldn’t publish my blog yesterday because I was finding the enormity of this too much. I went from anger to worry and back to anger.

I can imagine you doing the same.

Let’s be honest it’s already horrendously difficult for disabled and unemployed people. If they don’t appear to satisfy their overlords the DWP potentially could be sanctioned or worse.

Disabled people being diagnosed as ‘fit’ for work by medical professionals not qualified to do so which causes immense distress and often a decline in their health.

The government’s proposal to take claimant’s ability to access medication and other benefits will undoubtedly cause many deaths. No one takes medication when it isn’t needed and it’s essential to their well- being.

It’s horrifically cruel but I don’t need to tell you that.

They shouldn’t be forced into jobs when they’re not fit for work and employers shouldn’t be expected to employ people that can’t do the work in the first place.

They also proposed that disabled people can work from home for telephone work and suchlike.

Not every disability is visible and not everyone can do this work. It would cause them great distress and physically and mentally they can’t do it.

Of course they suggest this under the assumption that everyone has access to the internet at home already having everything they need to do this work. You can bet the DWP won’t offer them any support either.

It’s important to remember that these changes will not affect existing claims and will only affect new claims. However they will be moved to the new regime in 2025.

Am I still angry? Yes I am because they’re literally handing a death sentence to the most vulnerable people and they can never be forgiven for this.

Sorry for the change in blog post style today, I had previously blogged about these changes last week and felt that I didn’t need to repeat myself.

A huge thanks to everyone that reads, shares and has supported my campaign and blog for all these years.

For those that called myself and other campaigners liars that we were scaremongering we weren’t wrong were we. It pains me to say this.

Take care everyone, try and keep warm. We need to look out for each other because the government won’t.
