I suffer with Complex PTSD whilst caring for an autistic daughter. I feel abused by this government and find it disgusting they want to take from some of the most vulnerable in society. It has given me sleepless nights with worry for myself and daughter.
Anne-Marie supported: Stop Keir Starmer and the UK Gov from reducing PIP and implementing the 4-point ruleThe government is attempting to use threatening tactics. They have proposed abolishing the Work Capability Assessment and introducing the four-point daily living PIP rule. I will explain what this would mean for someone like me. Abolishing the WCA removes LCWRA, as their proposal suggests that only people who qualify for PIP will have the health element added to Universal Credit. This would leave those who do not qualify under the four-point rule without PIP and without any disability benefits, which I believe we, as disabled people with long-term conditions, are rightfully entitled to under the Equality Act 2010. Moreover, I am deeply troubled by the discriminatory language used by Starmer, who is considered by some to be a “moral” leader. He states that it is entirely "moral" to reduce disabled people's rightful benefits. Kendall claims disabled people "take the mickey" directly to the camera, and Reeves, despite being perceived as kind (sarcasm intended), believes every disabled person, including someone like me who has lost sensation in their legs and struggles with ongoing fatigue after working tirelessly for the NHS for 20 years and now spends 80% of their time in bed through no fault of their own, can just simply get up and go to work as soon as I am threatened by someone who is of no value to me as they are very discriminatory to my disabled peers . Kendall/Reeves/Starmer seems to think all disabled people are "lazy." How can the government use such language against the disabled community? Are we seen as burdens and idle individuals? They need to experience our lives and understand what it's like to feed our children stale bread when we have only 50 pence in the bank, while those in the DWP, Starmer, and others earn six-figure salaries and enjoy luxury trips & holiday abroad while we face sanctions & tribunal battles . PIP and LCWRA are a lifeline for disabled people like myself and many more. We have no other safety net if these are taken away. It truly infuriates me, and I think of my child constantly asking when we will have decent food. So, government, the next time you plan to take something away from disabled people or speak against us, consider the consequences carefully. Have compassion; everything else will fall into place. Just because "labour" is in your party's name doesn't mean you can repeatedly chant the "work" mantra. Regardless of your party, if you do not respect disabled people, you will never win a general election. I will tell you why: we are strong, we are 16 million people of the 50 million voters you need to be in power, and we will demonstrate our power. We are diverse, inclusive, and united. We are neurodivergent, we respect everyone, and we have experienced more hardship than you ever have. Therefore, we are incredibly resilient. We may appear weak, and we might be assessed as lacking strength, but our rights need to be upheld and supported by the government and the judiciary system. We are protected by the Equality Act 2010. Please read it thoroughly from now on, because we are coming. I sincerely hope this campaign succeeds in parliament and achieves significant results. Best wishes.
Sam supported: Stop Keir Starmer and the UK Gov from reducing PIP and implementing the 4-point ruleI have 3 kids (2 adult & 1 nearly 13) with Autism & other health issues, & my wife has the chronic condition Fibromyalgia-life's bloody hard enough, it just feels like they want 'the weak' (elderly & disabled) to 'disappear'!!
andrew supported: Stop Keir Starmer and the UK Gov from reducing PIP and implementing the 4-point ruleI recieve PIP following an accident in 2016 that left me unable to work. I am genuinly scared at the war this government is waging against people like me. It is hard enough living in the UK with peoples attitudes towards the disabled without the government adding to this. Their briefings which tar us all as lazy, workshy leeches who drain the economy is simply not the case, as I am sure many like me wish they could go out to work and get off benefits. The one thing that the governmebt has failed to factor into its decision making is that companies DONT want to employ disabled people due to the myriad of accomodations that come with helping disabled people thrive in the workplace, I have seen this first hand and the prejudices are real and no amount of investment in job coaches will change this fact. All this bill will do is consign hundreds of thousands of us to deepening levels of poverty and worsening health outcomes, Kier Starmer, Rachel Reeves and Liz Kendall will have blood on their hands as a result of this legislation.
Mark supported: Stop Keir Starmer and the UK Gov from reducing PIP and implementing the 4-point ruleI was looking around the internet about mental health and I stumbled upon this petition. I definitely agree that mental health services could definitely better. You provided compelling reasons why I should sign, so I did. I am also 18 and detained in a mental health hospital. I don’t like it. I am here against my will. I am not mentally ill but diagnosed with autism. You should find out more about this issue as well. There are lots of people in hospital for no reason. My situation is opposite from yours. I see no reason to not want better care and better systems. I wish you luck and hope you get better soon. Remember to keep fighting. I will fight too.
Lana supported: Investigation into Swansea Bay Mental Health Services and call for me to get DBTI'm so sorry this is hapoening to you and your family.
My son and myself experienced unprofessional staff too. I despair nothing seems to have changed.
I hope this petition makes a difference. You and your family deserve to get the help you need and to be treated with respect.
sharon supported: Investigation into Swansea Bay Mental Health Services and call for me to get DBTI been in the same position as this boy, someone really needs to take a look at mental health support in the UK because the help you receive is ridiculous, you’d get more support if you were in prison
Ross supported: Investigation into Swansea Bay Mental Health Services and call for me to get DBTAs a former fellow patient of ward f with my own horrific and dehumanising experiences amd treatment by staff there, I'm signing to ensure change and better standards are made in ward f for mental health patients who are admitted either voluntarily or sectioned in their most desperate state and deserve to be met with empathy, safety and care not abuse and neglect.
Claudia supported: Investigation into Swansea Bay Mental Health Services and call for me to get DBTMy friend went through so much - same doctors being mentioned - comments made that were harmful. Them trying to use me as her care plan. I was even told I couldn’t stay with her for a while to make her feel safe whilst they send me away saying they would jab her and deal with her in the morning!!! She sadly lost her battle last year and I know she would want to support this cause so badly!! ❤️
