Susanna questions Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride about how the new work and health support scheme will help those who can't physically work because of injury but can't have surgery because of the record length of waiting lists.

It's not the vulnerable people they are targeting, it's the people abusing it. I know as I work with them and see this everyday the excuses they make to get sick notes is shameful and they are the ones who are making real vulnerable people look bad. Real vulnerable people won't be affected the fake and woke generation will, it's that simple.

The Jobcentre staff are useless, having worked there for a number of years most of the staff are over worked and under valued. Management are only concerned about promotions and people are treated like trash and just numbers. Mel stride is another person who talks the large but delivers nothing. Jobcentres should all be closed down and the work coaches forced to get a proper job, see how they feel.

In the time I was out of work I kept being made to go to disability assessment as I had tyo temporarily claim benifits. I was an agency nurse at the time so physically couldnt do my job. I kept being told by them, cant you work and just use your other hand…. It was mental. They refused me pip and I could only get esa which you cant easily live on at all. Luckily I had a job lined up after the surgury that enabled me to work without harming my hand as it healed ( I assessed patients by video).

What happens is after a 3 month probation period the companies see you're unwell and not up to the task so they let you go. You then end up with a 6 week wait for UC or what not and can't pay your rent or buy any food... Oh but you can get an emergency advance payment if needed , which you can pay back £30 a month and comes directly out of every payment you receive for the next 2 years 😳 Woe betide you if you find another job and the same thing happens, as there will be no EMERGENCY loan to bail you out and you'll be on the streets... All because you're not well enough for work, but they don't seem to care.

Thanks to Susanna for tackling this issue. I have worked for thirty years and now have chronic fatigue, ME type symptoms, due to a vaccine injury. Do the government think I want to live on 70 pounds per week sick benefit and never return to work due to laziness? I’ve been offered no treatment and now they’ve taken this benefit away from me after an assessment that didn’t take fatigue into account. I’m in touch with thousands online in my same situation, we are damaged by the vaccine or covid and are just trying to get through this. Please please please do a viewer poll on how many people are living with vaccine injuries or long term covid effects, it’s significantly higher than they are reporting in the media, and I think this is the real reason we have so many people claiming sick benefits.

Invest in education and social services.. nobody lives their best life “scrounging” on the dole , or struggling with health conditions .. I have been out of work and registered sick for about 4 years… I recently started full time work and am fully independent.. I’m so happy.. it doesn’t compare. You know what got me there… a social worker and psychotherapy…

I don't understand, my step sister has worked for 40 years had a blip of depression was given a sick note for 2 week, she felt a lot better after the rest and shes back at working, shes 51 and worked since 14, its NEEDED for people. More people will die from this.

so? keir starmer has been saying exactly the same things about mentally ill people as the tories have. go and read his recent comments about getting mentally ill people back "grafting" to "turbo charge the economy".

It's now 4-6 weeks JUST for a GP appointment. That's before accounting for further months for subsequent referals to a consultant and then waiting lists for surgery if applicable ffs. For many who may genuinely be too physically and mentally sick to work... Putting in a request for a sick note is all that they have. All that they can immediately do, and all that the NHS can immediately do for them beyond a trip to A&E (and for immediate mental health service referal you have to be an imminent suicide risk). Call a GE. We're done.

That's why the NHS waiting lists are long. If you operate on people, they have to claim the PIP benefit. So, to pay for them we'll take whatever PIP benefits they are getting while they wait for the operation.

They(DWP) stopped my sick notes (2019) after me claiming ESA failed. Stating I was fit for work After winning my appeal to prove the DWP are not fit for purpose. This has been on the cards for years, Government want to penny pinch off the working class. Austerity still going strong.

Well said, Susanne. Not to mention, a job coach is not equivalent to a GP. They are not medical professionals!

How about tackling those who have lived off of benefits for years, who have never worked a day in their life, instead of people with disabilities or mental health issues!

How about closing tax loopholes Punishing tax evasion Taxing large corporation Recovering the money stolen from PPE fraud Then maybe we can deal with the tiny number of people "living off benefits"

@keith8609 Месяц назад

I agree with the government why has the number not fit for work rocketed since COVID the benefits system is not there for those who are fit enough to work

@robinmcara793 Месяц назад

Keith, let's hope that when you are ill, you are treated fairly. It can happen to anyone & it usually comes when you least expect it. Don't wait until then to show some compassion.

@keith8609 Месяц назад

@@robinmcara793 why has the number unfit for work shot up since COVID. ?

@ldn876 Месяц назад

Not to mention there is actually more people looking for work, than there are jobs available in certain areas. London for one.

@robinmcara793 Месяц назад

@ldn876 Absolutely my friend, I didn't think of that. Work should pay. We shouldn't force mentally ill people to work until they feel ready. You had better believe if a Tory or any if the elites have a breakdown. It would be 6 months of health spa's & retreats until they felt better. Then we would probably have to hear about it on TV. after the fact. We shouldn't be forced to work for peanuts to benefit shareholders. Period. People work all their lives to retire at 65, and the prospect of that is few & far between now. Meanwhile, our corrupt leaders waste hundreds of billions on nonsense. To say our system is broken is an understatement.
