How would food vouchers work for online shopping as I can’t go shopping. How am I meant to work? I’m not reliable. Some money I’ve spent to have private appointments because I can’t get one on NHS.

Add to this is the fact that many people are waiting far too long for the help that they need. Mental health is underfunded and sadly lacking for the majority of people.

I'm a single mother with 3 children and I'm literally living paycheck to paycheck as soon as the money comes in it goes straight back out. My kids have grown out of their clothes, 2 of them need new beds and my couch which I bought second hand 12 years ago is falling apart. The only way I'm going to be able to afford all that is if I don't pay any of my bills for a few months. I'm one of the lucky ones I know there's people worse off than me so when the whole country is worrying about whether theyre going to be able to afford a home and food this time next year or even sooner, it doesnt surprise me that there's so many people with mental illness.

    I think that the government and individuals should look at the root causes of all the medical conditions that people end up getting PIP for. I am 49 and was only diagnosed with autism about 3 years ago. So now I do receive PIP. My mental health became so bad before I understood what was going on in my head that, although I was working and always had done, I ended up self harming myself by heating up kitchen knives until they were glowing and burning myself. So that the pain would distract from the pain in my head. Plus other physical problems that developed due to my nature of not asking for help.
    The majority of the now common mental and physical diseases people suffering from are caused by bad diet. The established dietary advice is all wrong and based on studies paid for by the big food producers. Think back to when, for decades, concerns about the effects of smoking were ignored doe to 'studies' paid for by the tobacco companies....
    People need to wake up and realise that business has only got even bigger since then. It has sought to influence and control media and governments with much greater resources to keep people in the dark.

    Im sorry but what he is saying is disgusting.If you are diagnosed with an illness that you have no control over.It is not black and white.There are no simple answers.You cant just decide im not going to feel depressed today so im going to work,mental health doesnt work like that.Depression is not just feeling sad it is hell.Nothing matters anymore you just feel like a burden.So telling people they are a burden will cost lives and stop people asking for help.In my opinion if you havent walked in someone elses shoes you have no right to judge.

And you can't discontinue the course either; you have to start chopping tablets up to ween yourself off them. But by that time, the neurological damage is done. Feels like your brain tissue has melted and hardened into a tough rubber material all around your brainstem after a few months. Your family turns against you because they think you've been taking some heavy shit, the government starts playing games with your money, and then when you're finally down to your last few pennies, they start your money again and pretend that they haven't defrauded you out of your savings.

    Tax the richest 1% who underpay tax and get high tax breaks. Like scrapping the bottom of the barrel targeting mentally unwell people. Also, it would be discriminatory to give vouchers 'only' to mentally unwell, to be fair even those on all other types of benefits (job seekers etc.) should receive vouchers on the same principal behind the reasoning in this proposal. A law to pass this would face a discriminatory test on this ground. This is poor thinking on the part of govt, perhaps the stress of losing the elections is giving then an episode of mental health stress and anxiety.

    I think vouchers for mentally ill people with longterm difficulties from trauma, especially anxiety and PTSD will make a lot of vulnerable people more anxious and paranoid when they redeem their vouchers at the supermarket which will cause distress to the claimant when customers shout abuse at them or physically harm them because customers will know the claimant is receiving benefits. And when that claimant goes home they will ruminate about that and not go out at all when they experience intrusive, distressing thoughts about suicide and hanging themselves on their banisters. If this interview was genuine, why doesn’t GB news invite onto the panel an advocate from Mind or Scope and a psychologist who’s non bias to help inform these misinformed people on the panel what it’s actually like living everyday with major depression, anxiety disorders like PTSD, OCD and intrusive thoughts, paranoia and debilitating insomnia. I just don’t understand why politicians are cruelly targeting the most vulnerable in our society, using smoke and mirrors to distract us electorates from what they are doing but never declare.

When my husband was alive we both worked hard to get him partially independent but he still needs support in some areas and even now he goes to college for those with learning difficulties and learns what he can to live a more independent life. This year he has been learning about cookery amongst other things for the first time at 40 almost 41 years of age. He is autistic, dyspraxic, and has learning difficulties. All have their problems and I am the only person left who can help him. My own health is poor so I am helping all I can at present, but for how much longer I don't know. He will have to rely on his carers. His Care Manager apparently moved jobs and no one told him.they said they sent a letter but he never received it and no one has been out to see him in the meantime except the carers.
