It’s looking increasingly likely we’re going to still be on the receiving end of a right shafting.
The consultation suggests having some kind of “Argos” catalogue to choose stuff from. One off grants and submitting receipts.
Not like I paid taxes into this system or anything. Can just imagine electricity bill comes in and you spend a week on the phone trying to get thru begging for a grant.
They also suggest a system based on condition not how it affects you. So they’re saying everyone with MS is the same. I’ve never read such unbelievable naive stupid prejudiced BS ever. Which intimate that without a condition to put on the form you can’t claim. So all those disabled and not formally diagnosed will be screwed.
Thought things would be different but it does seem that we’re going to be the target of both sides. I think it’s hilarious that they think a voucher for treatment somewhere is the answer, where? Where are these magical appts going to come from? What treatments? How are you going to make stuff available for rural residents not just inner cities.
By doing this they will just drive costs up as you’re adding another layer of bureaucracy between us and help. This will be atos allover again or Eden red with free school meal vouchers it’s all abputpaying their mates to run it and can you imagine how much equipment will go up in price with these vouchers it’ll be like robbing an insurance company.
I suggest everyone makes their feelings known via the consultation and their MP. I will wager there’ll be suicides over the withdrawal of money support
