Glad the whole "its not up to employers, lets live in a dream" is being given another go.
Getting fed up with reality tbh..
They are scrapping medical assessments and just asking disabled and sick people "what work they can do", if they say litterally anything or show any glimmer of optimism..then the government will pretend that not only that they can, but that the employers will actually be there and actually employ them to do it.
I have two slipped herniated discs and my back is trashed, nerve damage everywhere they looked, chronic pain...somedays I feel so fucking irritated by the pain I could commit mass murder.
They asked me what work I could do, I joked "well I could float around in zero gravity".
They kicked me straight off the easy "apply for jobs as and when, look we understand you poor bastard, you are in lotsa pain (which they said they 100% believe and don't contest at all) and put me on the apply for jobs for 35 hours a week or we will sanction you "track".
The Sanctions regime will apply to the sick, they are all light and fluffy and put a nice gloss on it..but they will sanction the sick if they are not doing enough to find work..
Lets think about that. They sanction "fit able to work 100% of the time" people for not doing enough (there have been millions of sanctions), so what chance has a disabled or sick person have?
I for my part now feel like I am going to get sanctioned all the time. Some weeks I can barely get out of bed. I have to be flat as sitting and standing really really fucking hurts. and flares it all up..and where I have to go into a flat on my back position again.
I try to remain optimistic, to carry on, I have good days (that I or an employer would never be able to predict)but that optimism was weaponised, used against me and will be for everyone else who is sick or disabled.
