"I've Been BETRAYED By The Govt!" - Sickness Benefits Overhaul To Force People To Work From Home
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2023
- People with disabilities and long-term health conditions will be expected to look for work under Government reforms of the UK benefits system.
Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Mel Stride said the proposed changes will help individuals, while also boosting the economy and labour market.
Speaking on Jeremy Kyle Live, Adam Gabsi from Inclusion London says he feels 'let down' by the Government as a million people on sickness benefits could be forced back to work.
"The focus has been put on the wrong people here."

Using the British disabled as an escape goat because of sky high benefit costs due to illegal migrants is sickening in my opinion, I new this would happen and the truth needs to be told
0000.1% everyone knows somebody who are pulling the wool we need a better robust system of assessment and then jobs found for those who can work and if jobs cannot be found locally they should be sent to do community work for there benefits
100% see through all the BS
@@kirstycrawford6107 I'm not sure. I'm far less opt about the mental attitude of the greater population.
Over half a million Romanians came into the England/Wales in 2021.
Disabled is someone who is blind or had their legs blown off in a war zone.
Not someone with ' issues '.
26 billion is nothing compared to what the government waste on other stuff, giving money to other countries, illegal immigrants, looking after their own etc
No one has an issue supporting the truly sick and disabled, however I begrudge paying to people who can’t be arsed to get out of bed. One of my neighbours is almost 50 and nothing wrong with him but he has never had a job. He owns his council house and cleans his BMW everyday. Helps clean his mums house and takes her dog for a walk. Nice life when someone else is paying for it. This teat lives a better life than me who has worked for the last 44 years.
@@twistedsister2568 how is he doing that then? last time I check the benefit payments are woeful
like India who have just sent a rocket to the moon .
are you talking about basic Universal credit or true sickness benefits which have a plethura of added extras? @@James_36

Migrant families with 3/4/5/6 kids. Waste of money
Only benefits for the first two children. For ALL families.

@@MiscellaneousMeMeit worked until they started giving it to the rest of the world.They pretend they're running out of money but they keep printing the notes and generating loans and keep increasing their interest that they expect to be paid back by the working class.
What about the billions spent in ever-increasing amounts, on illegal migrants? Will the money saved from reducing disability benefits be used so they can live a life of do-nothing luxury in English hotels? Disgusting.
They can't control that so they are telling us to look at benefit claimants instead.
HS2 ? aid to foreign countries ? as well as so call "immigrants" all young men with nothing to offer the UK!
why not...90% of the ' disabled ' are living a life of do nothing luxury in their own homes.
Can't stop the illegal immigrants money..
That would be RACIST and ISLAMOPHOBIC.
The two most serious crimes now, in soft stupid Britain.
Can't cut illegal immigrants money.
That would be Islamophobic and Racist. The two most serious crimes now in multi culti Britain.
How about forcing the healthy unemployed back into work first.
..or MP's could give up some their second or third jobs....
How about forcing the healthy so-called sick people back to work first, they are getting a darn sight more than the unemployed, I can tell you.
@@phildavies6020 true, but then again they're paying all that extra tax on those second and third jobs to subsidise the healthy unemployed.
@@creelbait ...are they paying tax, I wonder, or is it in a ‘Special Bermuda/Bahamas/Cayman Islands account? . There was supposed to be a big ‘reveal’ after details of foreign accounts were leaked a few years ago, but, unsurprisingly, little became known.
@@phildavies6020 let's not fall into the hypocrisy pit here Phil. If I suddenly came into a shedload of money, I would definitely employ an accountant to manage it in my best interest, not the taxmans. And I suspect the majority of sane people would also. Maybe even yourself.
Past Governments, red and blue are not exactly famous for their prudent spending of taxpayers hard earned.
Why encourage them.
Sorry, attacking the unemployed and disabled who have paid taxes all their life won't wash with me when you got illegal migrants coming here who haven't paid a penny of tax in their life having a life of luxury of being put up in 4 star hotels being fed, watered, given money and day trips out with zero stress.
While those who have paid taxes who sign on every week are threatened with sanctions constantly if they have not found a job they will have their benefits stopped causing severe anxiety to these people who have paid their bit.
Same for the politicians who are on the take with the expenses helping themselves to thousands of pounds when they already earn a fortune.
Sorry find someone else to bully, not having it.
Many claiming benefits have never worked in their lives there are 3 generation families near me that have not worked ! Single young women with kids, drug addicts etc etc all claiming , never paid 1 pound in tax.Agree with you about the Illegals !
Is it really attacking the unemployed disabled to review the likes of PIP and creating opportunities to work? You can claim PIP whilst working, so highly unlikely the assessment criteria would change as you'd not only have to reassess everyone but prepare for a raft of court challenges. PIP has already had to make a number of changes to their assessment criteria due to High Court judgements since it was introduced.
@@fencer39 Well many have, my father was a scaffolder from 17 to 63 and was never out of work and needed 2 new knees after years of slugging his guts out, after being on ESA for just a few months this disgusting government stopped his money leaving him penniless while still waiting for his knee operations.
My blood boils to this day how they treated him.
Survival of the fittest mentality.
@@harrycallahan9143It sounds like your father should be on sick/ disability payments. What people don’t realise is the DWP makes mistakes taking away income ALL THE TIME leaving people with nothing. Try the disability forums, charities, citizens advice or even someone at the job centre who might be able to help navigate the situation. Apply for PIP but be aware they pretty much default reject everyone on first application and you have to appeal it. It’s pure and utter nonsense that leaves vulnerable people penniless.
If people are having to top up people's wages with universal credit then it means they are helping big companies pay low wages
This has always been my problem with both tax credits and the minimum wage. If an employer has a minimum they can pay with the government picking up the rest, then why wouldn't they?
The government talked people into going self-employed by giving them working tax credits. So for instance the people that work in the nail salons etc are usually self-employed.
The minimum wage has to be increased to £15 an hour, anything less than that is an "insult". @@si_w8201

Let's put the focus on genuine long term disabled people and far far away from the illegal immigrants entering our country. 🤔 Looks like smoke and mirrors to me.
Cut the 45p tax rate for the rich and slash benefits for the sick and disabled. Welcome to tory England
" The rich Tories.."..would those be like SIR Tony and LADY Blair, multi millionaires.
Or LORD Mandelson, multi millionaire. You're very selective who you identify as the undeserving rich.
So, if you go out tomorrow and pick up 50 million on the Euromills, you will of course hand the lot over to charity, cause you just couldn't bear to be a rich socialist like those rich Tories.
Amazing isn't it, in regards to genuine sickness benefits, when we have to have a overhaul on genuine sickness, to save money, yet the government won't stop..
Spending 6 million a day on illegals.

The world leaders have a plan and the stages are being put into action as we speak. To control the masses it's quite easy for those that are in control to do, you create panic, stress, divide and conquer.
Create a situation that causes the above.. A good example of this is covid, climate change, dangerous viruses. Increase levels of financial crises.
People want help and to feel secure again, so we ask the government to help us. (exactly what the government has planned.)
The government are seen to be helping the people at restore peace, this comes at a cost and gives the government more and more control.. They need to make the people weak.
Their plan is too bankrupt the country so it seems they are helping us, then they bring in big organisations like the WEF, UN, EU.. all are corrupt, we become subservant.
They could stop all this crises very easy by..
Stopping illegals coming to our country.
We don't pay one penny towards any of the illegals.
This will save us millions as well as the above points, , however, they don't want this as it goes against their plans, so instead, we face utter destruction.
Greed.
Restriction of movement
Control (Slavery)

OK, so you're disabled, you're forced to work, your health worsens, you get stressed because you're then trying your best under serious health issues to do the job correctly , you then end up with further health issues and are actually paid a pittance to try and live, when all you're doing is making your ongoing condition worse with more and more feelings of frustration of not being able to survive
And if your mental health is very bad already and your on waiting lists or cant get help with it you end up thinking "I cant deal with this im not going to be able survive like this i might as well end it all"
And can't get help because you get sacked .
Exactly Robot.
More to the point, if you're applying for jobs beyond the voluntary sector, in the majority of cases, you declare certain disabilities on the application form, particularly Autism, and it gets binned without a secondary thought, yep! I've spent most of the last nearly 14 years saying the Equality Act was, and still is, a waste of paper.
' serious health issues.'...is that like someone who's blind, or no legs and in a wheelchair etc.
Or someone really seriously disabled cause he's got...stress and people are picking on him.
I hope first in the queue are all the foreign nationals who are on benefits from when they come into the country and have done absolutely nothing to deserve them.
Then they can sort out the invasion of young men we're paying billions for
Then they can sort out the MP,s who put their hand in the bank of the taxpayer whenever they feel like it.
This will save billions, and then look at other benefits.
10/10 this is true facts. You are spot on.
Those will be back of the queue if they ever join it because of the fear of being called racist
They have to be deported. What happened to David Cameron saying that everyone earning less than £36,000 a year would have to leave the country. Priti Patel reduced that to about £24,000 due to what some of the nurses get. @@stephenbeevers2565

Bearing in mind that 82% of babies born in Brent during the last year, were born to foreign nationals, can you tell us how many foreign nationals are included in that amount of people? Can you tell us how many don't speak English?
both my neighbours kids are imigrants on benefits with 6 monthly visas, they are breedinhg like rabbits in order to try to remain here on benefits but are not allowed to work.
In a block near me there is an injured Romanian, I think he was injured at work. He's been unemployed for at least 10 years. In the same block there is an oriental looking zombie female, (big pharma) she's incapable of anything. 2 flats out of six. @@oojimmyflip
The most popular baby name in Brent for boys was probably Mohammed.
There used to be places like Remploy in cities that employed disabled people but they were closed down.
There was Remploy near where I live in Surrey but it's not there now.
With good reason IMO, the "pay" (if you can call it that, I certainly don't) was a frankly insulting 2 quid a day because all the workers were on benefits so they could only earn pennies before the DWP dived on them with sanctions.
I have to agree the Tories are obsessed with people working no matter what they're physical or mental condition is
Probably because it would actually be good to not seen themselves as burdens to? If you can work from home, then you can work and it doesn't justify you being on full welfare support.

Another problem is because of mass immigration many more are claiming because the mosques help and encourage them to claim disability
I am genuinely disabled. I have osteoarthritis in my spine which is hell on earth amongst other conditions. The governments plans have left me unable to sleep and feeling physically sick. IT'S DISGUSTING.
Well they need the money to pay for all the boat people.
The support just isn't there for disabled ppl to return to work.
If you suffer with arthritis & bursitis & need new knees & hips the hospital says you have to wait until you can no longer walk to qualify, eventually you get to that stage but you've put on that much extra weight from bring immobile that the hospital turns you down for your ops because your overweight. Its a vicious circle you don't stand much chance of exiting.
*Mel Stride was saying about 2 weeks ago that people over 50's and those on disability benefits should be doing food delivery! That's the type of low-paid flexible job they want to force people to.*
It's ironic isn't it considering they were boasting about delivering a 'high wage, highly skilled' economy. It's just laughable empty rhetoric coming from the CONservative Party.
There is still prejudice and stigmatisation towards those with mental health illness in this country, unless you have suffered real depression and anxiety you cannot fully understand how debilitating it is. Support and treatment is almost non existent, so sufferers are left to cope on their own, often with dire or even fatal consequences. It is not an easy illness to treat and there is no fully successful treatment, it will always have a lifelong adverse effect to some extent, and may require repeat treatment or therapy. Much better treatment and access to treatment is required if the government wants a healthier, more resilient workforce.
Yep. I was diagnosed with PTSD as a kid at 13 and back then it was taboo to talk about mental health so i never got help. As i got older and as i was working i was taken off my last job because i was deemed sick due to social anxiety disorder. I never wanted this i wanted to work but im now also being told by my Dr i have ADHD and this is the reason ive been suffering for years due to nobody helping me find out that i had it growing up. Im so bad that i cant even leave my home on my own anymore and havent been able to for years now without my partner. I dont feel good about this i dont want this. I want to be mentally normal and healthy i want to live a normal life and earn my keep but some days i dont even want to be here and think everyday about ending it all. The only reason i have not is because my partner and grandparents. Ive already seen so many disgusting comments calling people like me liars and im fooling people when im genuinely not. I dont want these conditions i want to move onto the next chapters of my life but im trapped. Im now on a 7 month waiting list for ADHD medication that is hopefully going to help me and make me better. None of my mental health is my fault but this country has such a harsh and bad understanding about mental health they look at people like me and deem me a liar or scrounger. Its so unfair. I always say people should wear my head for a day and see if they could survive the whole day dealing with it because its tiring just trying to stay alive when you dont want to be here no more.
@@GeekyCSeriously ignore these uneducated comments. I know it’s tough. There is little to no mental health help available in my experience on the NHS. We have to turn to RUclips for therapy help and to try to improve our lives. Hang in there- there are plenty of people that understand your struggle. I know there’s a lot of guilt and shame about it and people don’t understand because we “look normal”. Wishing you the best.

Aww diddums.....depression and anxiety stops you working. well I suppose that's it then. That's you on the gravy train for the rest of your life.

Why is it they always go for the poorest in society rather than going to get all these companies and the rich that avoid paying taxes in there billions.
Remember the Conservative Party shut down Remploy factories for disabled people, then we have Osborne and austerity. Remember Lain Duncan Smith resigned over the depth of the cuts to his plans for Universal Credit. Disabled people were hit the hardest by cuts to welfare and especially the introduction of the bedroom tax.
I have epilepsy which has also has caused me to have memory issues, absent seizures, agoraphobia, anxiety I’d literally fold if I had to work. All the immigrants rinsing our system as usual 🤡
Disabled people benefits are a easy picking for this government makes them look good
67 million people in the UK, 22million on benefits, that’s nearly a 1/3. But only 1 million jobs available and we are still letting people into the country each year! I think we have dug ourselves a grave we are not crawling out of.
The whole country is broken.
benefits were supposed to be for the truly disabled . the dole was there for unemployed to look for work. now benefits are considered an everyday part of your wages.
If the “government” can order business to increase minimum wage then the government can order business to reduce prices!!! Which would be a reasonable argument for reducing in work benefits. After all a government is a system of control and regulation over what it owns.
@@trevorluft1763 banning the use of zero hours contracts would help too.
@@trevorluft1763 Erm no, lets not go down the socialist route of governments basically running every business....Prices aren't the fault of businesses anyway, its government whos made the currency worthless, especially over the last few years. All that needs to be done is stop giving welfare where its really not justified, stop fucking up the economy by overspending and having huge government deficits and printing money and stop pushing agendas that increase costs of fundamental things like net zero goals. You dont need welfare or minimum wages if you stay out of the way of the free market.
i always worked from home as a disabled person . but i assume most of this homework will be as govt online trolls or snitches.. they pay many 1000s already to entrap and trick people online and to snitch or monitor riule breakers. it'll get so creepy. the main aim will be to bump them all off tho i guess.. medically assisted somehow i guess. its sad because this will target the genuinely ill and abused/injured people. th cheats will be ok as usual.
@@julesm9498that's not the issue the issue is the benefits system is paying in work tax credits, like working tax credits and child tax credits, why? That miney was not for that purpose, it was to help people who cannot work. I'd LOVE to work if i got more money I'd gor private right now at least for my physio, alas i can't because I barely get enough to live off. Meanwhile the NHS can't get it's finger out to help us either.
Zero hours need reducing in some sectors, like retail, but they absolutely work in sectors like hospitality. An all out ban is not the answer. The answer is companies paying their staff more per hour instead of the state. Instead of pushing diabaled and chronically ill people into work when we've bared the brunt of covid and now the strikes.

Theres obviously going to be a few playing the system, but my fear is for the genuine ones who are wrongfully deemed well enough to get back to work when they arent.

@valeriegrimshaw1365 yeah, it does make you wonder, doesn't it?

God forbid they be seen as insensitive to strangers rather than the people who they are supposed to take care of. Zero care for our own people who actually gave them the job in government in the first place.
a few? I bet at least 50% of that bill is fiddle
It's an unspoken truth that a lot of disabilities are self inflicted. The question is whether this is a societal problem or a personal accountability problem, and whether it is morally decent to encourage people to get themselves out of that position, or whether they should be left alone.
if you think the majority of people on these welfare programs actually need them, you are incredibly naïve.

Doc my benefits go for it, add to hell I'm going through waiting for the NHS to fix me. Never thought I'd be off sick this long...but i never thought I'd live through a pandemic in which medical treatment not deemed urgent was cancelled, and now we have the strikes.
Might aswell just go down the route Canada has taken, just pop us off by state assisted suicide.
The work capeability assessment is run by people with only 6 weeks training and they specifically target people to refuse benefits, these people then go on to a court of appeal/tribunal to have the decision overturned by the court the DWP hardly ever attend because they are so cock sure that they will win their case against them but they rarely ever do, how much is this court/tribunal process costing the tax payer for decisions that are made wrongly and aggressively in the fist place by a company hired by the goverment to cut the amount of people on benefits? These companies hired by the govermentn are failed comnpanies in the USA now active here in the UK.
There have been disabled people who have asked for work they could do from home, but where never given the opportunity. Lock down proved it could be done, but nothing happened.A few years later and suddenly it's a great idea.
There is about 1.2 million people in the UK in wheelchairs alone never mind all the others with mobility problems, people that just had surgery that will need months to recover, I myself was a passenger in a bad car accident in 1997, we hit a brick wall at 60mph and I ended up with 7 metal plates in my face under my eyes and around my chin and jaw, my nose was broke lips were split wide open I lost all my front teeth and most of the others were chipped and cracked, my lung was punctured, spleen ruptured, liver torn, my wrist was badly broken with metal plates in it now, my hip was broken femur was sticking out side of my left leg, my knee was broken shin and ankle too, had metal pins and plates all the way up and down my left leg and my foot was pushed through the floor of the vehicle so my left ankle was cut off, I still have my toes but no heel bone, the surgeons had to take a muscle from my back that left a 2ft long scar and wrap that around my ankle plus several skin grafts from my arms and legs over several years to finally patch it up.
Now half the skin on the sole of my foot and all around my left ankle area is scar tissue, I cant walk far on it as its painful and splits and bleeds, my ankle wont bend very well only 35% of normal range of motion and my injured leg is 3 inches thinner than the other. I cant build it up as I cant stand on it for long and the thin scar tissue on the sole of my foot will never be able to take much, So just moving around the house is hard for me. I go back to podiatry every few weeks as the dead skin builds up so much it splits and bleeds on its own without it. I have had a ulcer on the scar tissue the last 2 months and its not looking any better, I have to see nurses every week and week compression dressing keep my leg elevated as it has reduced blood flow due to all the damage it has. And by look of it its either going to take months to heal or ill end up having to have another skin graft on it. And this is an injury from 1997, 26 years ago so its not really going to improve now I am mid 40s and going grey and turning in to a old man.
I had to have permanent stitches put in my back in 2015 as the scar tissue ripped under the skin and my back filled up with blood where I had the muscle graft and now I cant raise my arm over my head or anywhere near it without causing pain, just folding clothes for a minute or so and it feels like I have been punched in the back and it aches for quite some time after. When I stand up it only takes a minute or so and the scar on my ankle that's a huge area 19 inches long and 10 inches wide starts to go red and purple, it aches and throbs as blood travels down the leg but struggles to get back up, and its the same when I am sat in a chair it just takes a bit longer to start to hurt when I am sat down 10-15 minutes at most is all I can sit for then I need to raise my leg which I do by sitting on the sofa with my leg up and I can pretty much feel the blood flowing back up my leg as soon as I raise it.
So what work am I fit to do from home? I have passed the fit for work assessment every 3 years since it started 10-15 years ago, I have letter from the surgeon that says I am not fit do do anything that involves being on my feet or even just walking about and I still might have to get my leg amputated below the knee, the first year or two after that would be really hard even to just get around the house. and there is no way I can sit in a chair 6-8 hours a day either typing or using a computer and phone as I cant sit in a chair long without having a sore back and my leg throbbing and wanting to explode until I elevate it again. I live on my own and am pretty much housebound, just getting up to make something to eat and sitting down to eat it causes me pain so I feel I am not fit to do any work from home and ill fight them all the way with it. I have got so many scars from over 400 stitches all over my body from that accident and that's just the stitches on the outside u can count, my body is a mess and I deserve to be comfy and pain free, not having to sit at a computer or phone at home 6-8 hours a day in a position that would cause me pain all the time.
I mean if they are going to make people in wheelchairs work from home doing something like data entry sitting typing in numbers or something repettetive and boring all day long that's not really going to do much to improve their mental health or give them a skill to use in life is it, How sick disabled or injured to you actually have to be to get sickness benefits because by look of it you have to be pretty much dead.
*Where are these work from home for disabled people, when people who are fit looking for these can't get them?*

Its when your conditions affect your ability to work or how you do your job then put on pdps and affects any chances of promotions and if your off for more than three periods in a year can be fired for so until they get a system where the companies support disabled its not going to work
@@margaretmichie2007exactly I found full time job but because of my chronic illnesses which hospitalised me twice in one year needing surgery then injuring my shoulder so I couldn't do job they told me to get lost & not come back I worked bloody hard when I was their working but even with good reasons which was out of my control & accounted for via medical records & doctors they didn't want to know
The government should be ashamed of themselves hitting out at the sick , they need to think again,
There's a fine line between sick and lazy.
just another diversionary tactic, while everyone is looking over here your missing what's going on over there.
The process the most vulnerable have to go through to get personal independent payments is fact enough they are poorly and any jumped up TV presenter couldn't deny their claims.
How many times have we heard this nonsense and every year the benefits bill spirals out of control. Until work pays at the bottom end of the scale people will use the benefits system to circumvent the need to get a job.
Something thats never mentioned is people like myself worked 25 or more years on building sites paying 25% and high ni to government then become disabled due to that work ..we never had forklifts doing all the work we carried everything on our back no silos with ready mixed cement ..sent to remove asbestos with hardly any safety gear now we cant work our bodys are broken in constant pain ect..
No-ones home is a place of work unless it's a lifestyle choice. The gov are our servant, not ppl theirs.
Nobody appears to be attacking the rich people who are screwing the system by avoiding and evading tax, mps claiming expenses on second homes etc.
Nothing is being said about the benefits bill that pays benefits to working people who cannot earn enough to live on. The whole bill is made up of many claimants like pensions, pension credit UC for working families. But you clump the 26 billion price tag belonging to those claiming sickness benefit. If you want to do a report do a fair and proper one.
there are 1000s in my town from europe who have never worked a day since they arrived { started arriving 25 years ago } in the country and have no intentions of ever working .not a racist comment or anything that STARTS ENDS WITH ISIM just a fact
I suffer from anxiety which is debilitating a even talking on the phone to a stranger is stressful. I think there is too many know alls which know f all about how difficult it can be and the government is just making the stigma worse. I do claim benefits and I do feel a bit gaslight by the government and some people.
My son is the same and has other health problems requiring meds with side effects. Typical government bullying the weak
Yes it is no fun. I have had many trolls yesterday’s saying how I am milking the state and other negative clichés being throw at me. I do get extremely frustrated by this type of ignorance, it is nice to know others do get it and thanks for your nice comment.
I’m the same even washing up gets me annoyed which is daft lol but it does.
@@shanehall98 so if you didn't receive benefits what would you do?
@@paddydoyle4234 it would be hard I have some savings but it wouldn't last long. The issue is I would be stuffed really. I have my family to support aswell especially with rent and food costs.
No offense to Adam but he clearly has never been on a council estate if he thinks it's less than 1% of people on benefits blagging it, I know dozens blagging Fibromyalgia and depression, they know the dole better than the people that work there, a guy I know tells people exactly what to say and do in the interviews 😂 the system is a joke, entire sections of my town are allocated to heavily overweight women with more kids than sense, stick thin boyfriend addicted to cannabis pulling 2 grand a month for getting out of bed at 12 😂😂😂
£2k a month wow I wish , I get just over £120 a week. Fibromyalgia is one of the many conditions I have and it’s no joke I can tell you. The last 20 yrs the disabled have had the media demonise the sick. Blame labour and in work benefits for such a large bill
@@MrDunkycraig full pip, child maintenance and carers allowance, one family I know get about 2k with all that, I'm sorry you have it bad mate I don't think everyone fakes but some do
My neighbour is almost 50 and never had a job but bought his house and drives a BMW. Another one has a Jag and another an Audi Q7. I have a 15 year old Mazda and worked my whole life. There are way too many on benefits when they shouldn’t be.
@@ricksanchez3218 Least you acknowledge that not everyone fakes it .. appreciate you for that. Your right coming from a council estate myself i see it and boils my blood. I have PTSD and Anxiety and just been bloody diagnosed with ADHD at 29 .. i hate my life and want to work and be normal and move on to my next chapters but im terrified to leave my home. Id be more than happy to do a at home job least then im doing something and il feel useful. I hate how those people use mental health to get away with it it makes me sick. Its not something you would wish on your worse enemy. Id rather end it all tomorrow then live like this for another 10 years. Gotta wait 7 months now for medication to help my ADHD so i pray every night they perform a miracle and i can finally leave this hell im in and work and feel useful again.
@@GeekyC that's sounds rough mate, a guy I know who also suffers from ADHD I work with was actually prescribed cannabis from the NHS believe it or not, he manages to work well enough now, regarding working from home I can't imagine how it would be implemented as far as I've seen it only tends to be customer services, HR roles and management that gain working from home. Most regular people dream of working from home so can't imagine there are enough roles to cater for a million long term sick, a lot of companies are downscaling the work from home for numerous reasons, it's far too complicated and each case needs examining on a case by case basis to weed the lazy from the incapable.
There is a large percentage of people using Universal Credit to bolster their wages. Instead of attacking the disabled perhaps the government should scrutinise the people who pay poor wages
How can the government when all the businesses are closing we live in a town where most of the shops have closed what jobs are there about with more companies going under so more unemployed and the country should support its vulnerable people
Blaming the sick and disabled whilst corporations dodge billions in UK tax. Righty oh. Just move to universal basic income. Everyone gets it. No one can complain and it boosts productivity. People who are able to work won’t have to worry their benefits will end.
All well and good saying work from home, doing what ? cold calling telly sales also working from home would mean your home is now registered as your place of work this can effect council Tax, House insurance and other charges related to housing. I have been on long term sick due to a spinal issue that leaves me in constant pain numbness in my arms and legs., I was offered re-training but as I had 13 City & Guilds to my name I was then classified as over qualified, The only thing offered was a fork lift truck drivers course totally inpractable
There are definitely a lot of people who can work that don't, and those people need to be working. I too don't mind paying taxes to help genuine people that can't work, I might need that help one day. But if the government wants to save cash, then there are 101 ways to do it. But it would require a little work, and this us easier and has a good sound bite .
Can you imagine if they said, lets stop paying for women to be single mothers? Those are people who utilise most of the welfare through housing support and income support.
But then no one would ever vote for them. We've got this problem now of wanting to support everyone through welfare programs but then wonder why poor people have 40% of their income taxed to pay for it. So we basically punish poor people, to support other poor people, who didnt need the support in the first place.
I think it’s fine to review and trial home working, but only if it helps rather than penalises! I’ve been very unwell and looking to try and get some part time hours working from home and can’t find the remote jobs. Maybe it’s an age issue as well as I’m nearly 60!!! I can understand that a company might choose a vibrant 40 yr old without a 2 yr break in their CV above a 60 yr old with a 2 yr sickness! X
I was a nurse I want to work from home . But I was put under safe guarding as tried to take life .😭😭
Lots of people would like to work but company's won't do on job training, they want them with lots of qualifications. Which to be honest doesn't mean they are good workers. Lots of people learn much better actually doing the job by learning it from someone already experienced and also pass on their years of knowledge. They could be on a reduced wage for say 3 months while training with the benefits topping them up during that period.
You can get a very favourable loan which you don't have to pay back until you earn near £30k. I got one and did my qualifications in my own time. I have three young children. There are few excuses not to be able to get qualifications.
What are all these jobs working from home? All the jobs I've done involved lots of physical manual work that couldn't be done from home, I'm very interested to know, what is known as work these days. Please anyone
There is another thing loads of my son's mates wanted jobs and every job they applied for they got told to go and apply through an agency and they would have work 1 day none the next 2 days how are they going to get a meaningful wage.
Out of 5 days 2 days work but he had told the nab he had a job but not enough to pay his transport to work.
It’s ok to say there are 1m job vacancies and disabled people to fill them but what kind of jobs are they? Are the expectations physical? Are they able to do the job? Are they qualified? Will they be able to get there? It’s not black and white.
But its okay too spend 6 million a day for people who have come in on boats 🚢
Stay well away from all religions and their many prayers.
They talk as if all the jobs available are suitable for everyone. Many jobs are specialist jobs, many are labour intensive, many need certain skills, many are zero hour contracts, many are temporary fix term contracts, those that are left are few. Care work appears to be one of the largest crying out for staff but you can't have disabled or people with mental health issues in those positions. So it is disingenuous to say there are millions of jobs available as if all unemployed are suitable for those jobs and just lazy. Big tax fraud and the wasting of billions by the government on dodgy deals is much worse than some people exploiting benefits.
Care work is easily most underpaid 'low tier job' in this country.
Who wants to take such job, when you could be sitting on computer or stacking some shelves for more money.
There won't be a need for carers if they are sending the Sick and Disabled into work
Carers will be made unemployed
America Just send another 520,000,000 to Ukraine. so they can throw it down their money pit. Also, Great Britain has sent 1.3 billion. for Ukraine to throw down their money pit. But they refused to tackle the Sickness benefit cuts. the money they could save. from Ukraine. would more than cover the difference.
The problems stem from people claiming pip on mental illness grounds such as depression. This was not why the disability benefit was set up by Thatcher under the Heath government in the 70s. Anyone can claim mental health issues. It's difficult to contradict them. People with genuine mental health should be diagnosed by a specialist doctor. Then get help with benefits. All claimants should be examined properly by a team of doctors not untrained assessors. It's now pot luck. Or who can lie the best.
If they force disabled people into situations they are not capable of they will only get the sack from any employer due to their physical and mental disabilities and inability to do the tasks required or the employers may not even offer them work... very strange situation, going for the vulnerable when the Tories squandered millions during covid and all the immigrant's getting everything for FREE
0.00001% that's just one person in the whole of UK. That's an amazing coincidence cause she's my next door neighbour.
Walks like rambler striding the hills normally but on assessment day out comes the crutches, the sad expression and the practised hobble.then that's her for another year.
Why is it, if modern medicine is getting better there are more disabled people.
I would not know how to work from home. I am not an office person. I can barely sort out my own things paperwork etc. Im on sick have chrones and ulcerative colitis. Receiving imuno suppressant.
On a mountain, by a fountain, flowers blooming everywhere take the time to feel the sun shine in a world where leaders don't care..
The Conservatives punching down as usual.
The problem is the investment just hasn't been there. There is a major difference between sanctions and helping someone find a suitable job. The job market is vast and trying to narrow down jobs someone can do is difficult not just from their needs and availability but also if they lack experience and qualifications.
If you're going down this path staff needs to be better trained in helping disabled people find the right job and the ways of getting that job.
Personally I would advise against sanctions but help those who are disabled who want to try and work. 1 on 1 support and I would recommend using the education system giving access to free meaningful courses.
There also needs to be stricter punishment towards employers. As someone who has to wear medical boots I was expected by a employer to paint my boots because they had a red stripe down them.
The work capability assesment absolutely needs reforming. Perhaps a capacity for work assesment.
Totally agree with Adam Gabsi. The country is not ready to promote disabled people back to work one way or the other. I experience this myself as a disabled person. I have many disabilities that stops me from travelling far, like Adam in the video. This means I can only work locally (very part time) or from home (Part time too, but more hours). But after a year of applying for jobs (over 200 applications - this in mostly in 2023 - 2 work coaches, workshops in how to write CVS and letters, various interviews) I have not been able to get a job whatso-ever. Most companies are not ready to take on disabled people, even if they claim they do (I have been discriminated 3 times already in the past year). And working from home is not easy to come by UNLESS you are willing to travel to far-off places like London or Edinburgh (Edinburgh is 3.5 by train for me) to have a weekly or monthly meeting. This is not going to work for anyone with mobility issues, unless they actual live in the city. So, there you have it. The other thing is the level of benefits. Now, I don't expect the government to pay Disability Benefits up to a level of a working person, but to let people basically rot away in tiny bedsits and sent them to foodbank because of rising prices all around, is not exactly wonderful either. Of course, I want to work to earn extra, but it is not going to happen if people look down their noses when I apply for jobs and there is very little provision for disabled people to participate.
And he has 7 properties in Southampton. I wonder if we should delve into his finances that maybe arent being taxed. Iseriously hope that man is kicked out. Preying on the disabled people who simply cant work Absolutely evil greedy cruel man. Hes going nowhere. Everyone will hate him including me
The ONLY measure of how well welfare is working is by how many people can leave it.
Half the people I left school with have never worked and are no worse off for it
Working gives a purpose to life. It must be made worth the effort. Wages must rise.
My two neighbours are playing the system. Both claim to be single parents but are not. On driving an Audi Q7. Time this was dealt with
MAKE THE YOUNG AND FIT IMMIGRANTS GO TO DAM WORK . !!
What about those who have come to this country Romanians where I live don’t work but drive around in big new cars how do they do it , they stand around all day doing nothing and get away with it .😊
None of the Romanian in my old town I knew worked & their kids had better things & nicer clothes than rest of us how Di they manage...how do they expect immigrants to work when half of them can't speak the national language but sure go for sick British people most of whom payed in to the pot before becoming unwell or having Mobility issues etc.
Why don't you send all those scrounging asylum seeker immigrants etc that have claimed benefits as soon as they've landed on our shores. Oh you can't do that because they're already working on the sly.
More people take there own lives suffering from depression than any other mental illness so that makes that a serious mental disorder..I note when they announced this one of there top MPs who is a consultant psychiatrist went to the other side and joined labour.. coincidence or what.. we have no reached the point where these people actually need to be protected from this government they are at serious risk from something so cruel and wicked
Truss wasted £30bn within 7 days
HS2 £30bn and rising
Jab after effects are s major factor.. there's a book about it being so in the US.
Work from home...doing what?
Prostitution? Ha
Remploy for disabled people has been closed down
Dont forget cleverly has drooped the 45% tax rate
thatcher brought pip in so people wouldnt have too be locked away in hospital
I work my butt off everyday and you know what p*sses me off? We have an immigrant family next door that are all on benefits, but they have a Mercedes in the drive, all the kids wearing designer gear! I hope the government actually go after the free loaders and leave the real vulnerable people alone
need to cut the illegal & LEGAL immigration cost for benefits as well
I on the sick ,i would work tommorow if i had the support but theur us none
45 billion so far on hs2. 7 million a day on hotels for criminals who have contributed nothing. Pension age increased. Foreign aid. Billions to the Ukraine. Millions to the French to stop the boats. MP expenses. Lord's expenses.
