@BBCBreakfast Coverage of #uc incomplete. GVMT asserts a lie: 'no one worse off under UC' but further cuts included for ESA Support Group.
People like myself will not be able to cover costs to live under new #UniversalCredit terms for #ESA. Payments are cut from current levels.
#UniversalCredit @BBCBreakfast Universal Credit contains ADDITIONAL cuts, hence reason for pushing roll-out by Tory government check detail
#UniversalCredit not only delays in payments that are the problem. Cuts to amounts paid = inability to cover shortfall in #housingbenefit
#UniversalCredit will leave claimants vulnerable. U.C. includes ADDITIONAL cuts for sick or disabled ESA claimants. Check the small print
@BBCBreakfast U.C. contains additional cuts for claimants that contradict protections in previous budgets, e.g Support Group ESA CHECK FACTS
@BBCBreakfast coverage of recent #ESAcuts cuts would add background to financial implications of #cancer. Not everyone has charitable help.
Used letter on my blog to write to my MP about Work Health and #disability Improving Lives tinyurl.com/z66nztn #mecfs #disabilityRights
Here's a standard protest letter for you to use abt Green Paper Work Health #Disability Improving Lives tinyurl.com/z66nztn #mecfs #DWP
Day 117 #ImprovingLives Another assault on the sick and disabled of Britain tinyurl.com/pbq6u7z Solidarity hashtag #IDanielBlake #mecfs
@BBCBreakfast 8) WCA overhaul needs to address target-driven culture & unfair assessment processes first. That story needed deeper analysis.
@BBCBreakfast 7) Using term 'disabled' implies changes affect those who are disabled, it'll affect all unfit for work in short or long term.
@BBCBreakfast 5) people are deemed 'disabled' only when they successfully pass through PIP assessment (see earlier stories re: DLA & PIP)
Story on BBC Breakfast this morning inaccurate, changes to WCA affects ALL people entering system not only those deemed 'disabled' via PIP
@BBCBreakfast 4) Your story abt changes affecting 'disabled people' is inaccurate: it'll affect ALL people entering the system of ill health
@BBCBreakfast 3) catch-all terminology 'disabled' is not accurate. PIP system is optional, WCA is for all people saying unfit to work...
@BBCBreakfast 2) System supports people with long term health conditions or temporary illness also ( not considered disabled via PIP)...
@BBCBreakfast fact checking needed 1) planned changes to benefits not only for disabled people. PPl termed disabled after PIP assess.
