Me showing up to @NandosUK for lunch in my Era’s Tour merch still covered in glitter from last night might be the most on brand I’ve ever been.
This is purposely worded to make it sound like if you say you have anxiety you get PIP no questions asked. This couldn’t be further from the case.
I have one leg and they took my benefits from me, and my car, because I ‘no longer fit the criteria.’
'I want to move towards something that is more rigorous, more objective and potentially has more medical evidence when people are making those claims'
@RishiSunak wouldn't be drawn on whether those suffering with anxiety will lose PIP payments | @Peston

You have to answer a series of very dehumanising questions again and AGAIN in order to get any kind of hope of getting what you are due. By the time I get to tribunal I will have explained to several strangers how I bathe myself, how I use the toilet etc etc
This is not what PIP is. It’s not means tested. It’s nothing to do with sick notes. Either the PM doesn’t know this, or he’s purposely doing this so those who don’t know what it is demand reform that will impact people who need it.
I think we all know what is more likely.

Rishi Sunak says that if the UK government does not do anything the PIP benefit bill will increase by 50pc in four years.
He says 11m fit notes were issued last year - 94pc of those were for people being signed off as not fit for work.
Since the pandemic 850,000 more people are not signed off as long term sick; half have depression or anxiety.
“We need to change the sick note culture to build on what you can do not what you can,” he says.
“Unemployment should never be a lifestyle choice.”

Found out today that according to the DWP I no longer qualify for PIP. Since my leg hasn’t grown back and my mental health issues haven’t magically gone away I can’t see how they have come to this decision for any other reason than just hitting a quota.
I don’t say this lightly but #TheTraitors might just be the best show I’ve ever seen in my life. Outstanding television.
Watching the end of this Amanda and Alan show is #TheTraitors version of seeing the last couple of minutes of bobs burgers before big brother
It’s almost the holidays which means it’s almost time for my annual thread of ridiculous things my parents say/do.
I thought I’d start early with this text my dad sent the other day. I haven’t stopped thinking about ‘, wonderful egg’ in days 🤣
ALT A screenshot of a text from a group chat called “Keeping Up with the Catdashians.” The text reads: PS M&S scotch eggs are the best, wonderful egg. X
Look, Ma I made it
You’ve got to give it to the #GBBO producers for always managing to schedule chocolate week during the hottest week of the year. 10/10 they never miss
