just almost missed the 3rd time the #DWP called me to check if i am not 'scrounging' taxpayers money.

as it's one of few times i can tell the government what i think about their treatment of me, & everybody else in my position, i told them exactly #TheStateWeAreIn

it's weird. i feel angry but also relieved to be able to let out what i keep inside. the public servant i spoke to was brilliant, he listened patiently & reassured me he wouldn't harass me again..

now i will have a good rest of my day. i will go to #ThePark & sit at my beautiful ancient willow tree.

Urgh. Got a letter from DWP regarding my PIP claim. They are telling me I was fine on the phone assessment, which I very much wasn't, and that I've got no medical evidence that I have ME/CFS.

So I guess I'm submitting the diagnosis from the neurologist for the... seventh time?

DWP are disputing that I'm even allowed to take this to tribunal. Is this normal? This doesn't feel normal.

You'll be unsurprised that the Department of Work & Pensions is still sending demands out for repayment of 'overpayment' of carers allowance even after Govt. commitments to reform the system & review/reassess all cases, based on Liz Sayce's caustic review of the DWP's actions against carers.

Once again the DWP's inhumanity is on show but this time its hard to mount the defence they're only doing the Minister's bidding as the Govt. is explicitly not asking for this!

“Rich right-wingers are calling for DWP [Department for Work and Pensions] cuts in order to pay for defence”

by Hannah Sharland in The Canary

“Right-wing warhawks have been doubling down on calls to slash Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) welfare to fund imperialistic warmongering against Iran.

Naturally, it’s the usual suspects spearheading the charge, namely opaquely-funded think tanks, the billionaire press, and of course, their co-conspirators in parliament.

And once again, these rich colonial capitalist assholes all want to make poor and disabled people cannon fodder for their illegal invasions.”
