Abolish the DWP
Have you ever applied for disability benefits or a blue badge? They automatically decline a very large percentage of applications in the hope people just won't or can't afford to appeal. The charity I work for spends a lot of our time on that. So... It's not out of the question they'll do the same

2012 I was nursing my mum, she had lung cancer which had spread to her liver and brain, she had 6 brain tumors and didn't know who I was anymore. 2 weeks after they told us it was terminal she got a letter from DWP saying she was found "fit for work"
Fuck the DWP

But tell us again how PIP is too easy to claim. 🤔
Cases like Rachael's further highlight the obvious, pointless cruelty of the current PIP system. Ill and Disabled people shouldn't have to fight an uphill battle to get the support they need to live. We need change, now. buff.ly/a6KGycT

Oh ffs I didn't know this. This is disastrous. The government only wheels in Wessley when they want to save money, specifically by fucking over #disabled people by pretending they aren't disabled.
That's all he does. #disability #pip #dwp

he's also vice chair of Streetings mental health and neurodivergence overdiagnosis committee. No prizes for guessing why he was appointed there either.

At some point @tejparikh.ft.com should stop digging. The argument that "I did it this way because I had the DWP £ real spend data series and I couldn't be bothered to go to the ONS site to download the £ real GDP one" is not very convincing...

No conspiracy. Dwp has the full historic data in real terms and i wanted a chart to make clear how big pensions were and to highlight recent pip growth (if anything it shows how small it is)

Perhaps they should stop spending time chasing debts of <£100. The same goes with the DWP.

Toss up between the DWP and HMRC for who I hate more but either way it’s just government nonsense who thrives on making things harder than it needs to be

Well exactly.
Either the Home Office is arguing that it understands the economic/fiscal/welfare impacts of its proposals better than HMT (and DWP who do the modelling for/with HMT) or the Home Office's fiscal argument was bogus all along...

If this is the case, it would suggest considerable confusion about both the purpose & impscts of the reforms at all levels of govt
If the fiscal fear story was true, the home office should have its biggest ally in the Treasury!
It is no 10, Communities which should be defusing the big risks here

Waiting for the DWP to phone, they have told me they need to do a medical assessment regarding my PIP.

Since I’m unemployed I now have to deal with the DWP and I can’t wait for them to be condescending towards me about how to write a CV when I have literally been in work since I was 18. 😒

2 The social contagion hypothesis is highly influential in the DWP, the DoH, NHS England and the DoE. It’s seen as an explanatory framework for not just disability dependence but also trans ideology and many other social contagions or social problems such as crime, child abuse and mental illness.

If benefits have fallen as a share of GDP, have they not been ‘reined in’, undermining the entire premise of your article? If the chart is from the DWP website (as opposed to the underlying data), then the DWP is being misleading. Do you always quote the government unquestioningly?
