PIP IS NOT AN UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT.

Yes I'm shouting it. Tired of having to clarify what journos and politicians SHOULD ALREADY KNOW.

Punishing the disabled is Not a good move… what a moron

[lunarscorpio]

That’s utter bs. Don’t start acting like a Tory please ffs

1, 000 illegal immigrants arrive in the UK every day, and are immediately given luxury hotels to live in, despite thousands of British people including war veterans receiving no help or offered any accommodation.

Why does the NHS have over 100, 000 vacancies? They should be looking at their poor working conditions and low pay rather than relying on migrants to fill some of these jobs.

No justice for the Waspi women or wrongly convicted postmasters, while every MP gets taxpayer funded food and alcohol in parliament. My boss doesn’t give me cheap food and alcohol, why do they get it?

If 1 thousand a day signed up we would all be on benefits in under 2 years shut up mate stop lying

[margo.]

But ppl who cannot work are being disbelieved and treated badly...assuming that they're ppl are being tarred with the same so will be persecuted.

Does this "1000" people a day figure contain only brand new people, or does it also include people whos claim has expired (all claims have a time limit no matter the disability) and need to sign on again?

1000 people a day where did he get that statistic from 😂

[robcod]

So is that 1000 a day are getting approved for PIP or who are applying for PIP because that’s two very different scenarios.

Did the COVID vaccine got anything to do with it also youngesters eating junk food?

How is disability funding a benefit? It doesn't even cover basic medical expenses. My partner can't afford his liver scan.

[AndrewJones-piwm]

Nearly as many as arriving on boats 😂😂

[ladyanjy]

how many injured by medications, vaccines etc or lack of medical help before things get bad? hmmm

[stuntmansynyster]

This blokes a robot. Which idiots voted for him?

[robtheplod]

does this mean i cant get a free car anymore?

[deniseharrison]

1, 000 aday signing onto PIP, how the hell did they come up with that, when it's impossible to claim, totally lieing red Tories, I have never put in for PIP, because I am to scared too, so how much money have I saved them over the years, but they want to take LCWRA of ESA claimants now, even the nasty blue Tories didn't sink that low, this lot want to get rid of disability full stop, and they talk about no more austerity 🤬

[jeonlyxoxo]

There are some people who are work shy and are abusing the system. I don’t want to pay my hard earned taxes to help those please. Yes I agree with this reform!

9 out of 10 people make up their own statistics 😜🤣✌🏽

[swax]

probs because people claiming benefits are helped to claim as much as possible. manager will lie in order to get people the benefits they want not what they need. Benefits should be the BARE MINIMUM as a basic income. from there it can be adjusted per individual claim.
