IBJSA will end when your moved to ESA and if your not in the support group after one year it becomes means tested too the one year date will be one year after you are moved this move of groups will also open up another can of worms like haing to go to meetings to talk about what you are doing when you go back work

huh? IBJSA for people looking for work and ESA is for those unable to work.

therer is no such thing as ibjsa there is esa three types and jsa

esa paid at one rate for 1st 13 weeks then when they have looked at sick notes done medical you get higher rate and also might go in support group if very sick ... if found fit for work you have to apply for JSA, ifyou appeal then you stay on lower rate (get it)

after 12 months if in the group below support you get esa means tested so if you have a pension of about £90 a week after 12 months even if too sick to work you would lose esa

if your sick but not in the support group your expected to be seeing what work you can do when better, you will be called for interviews, but there is some info of them cutting back on work interviews for two years till they have moved all the IB people to ESA

under new rules some will lose esa and have to go ontoJSA

IBJSA is income based JSA. This abbreviation is used quite a lot on here and other sites.

By doing either of these things, they're going to cause hardship to many. LRC is £18.95 per week. If you claim IBJSA, you get a £28 disability premium, plus the £25 a week CWPs. When you go back to work, you also get WTC.

Take lower rates away from me, how on earth am I going to pay for my disability related items? Communication needs alone are half of my DLA care and then there's things like the extra washing, replacement of clothing, etc. How am I going to pay for my swimming? If I go swimming, I am pain free. Physio never worked for me and left me in more pain afterwards.

I think that we will all have to suffer in one way or another. Very similar to what happened in 1939 - 1952. Belt tightening and a bit of the bull dog spirit.

People will just have to cope the best way that they can.

So, it's right that as a disabled person I'm financially worse off? I've already tightened by belt enough and have had to resort to asking for disability items for Christmas - because they are so expensive.

No DLA = can't communicate, can't go to work, can't replace the clothes I need, can't afford the extra food I need, can't afford swimming - that will cost the NHS much more because I will more than likely have to go back to physio or spend the rest of my time in pain.

Oh you do exagerate.You get the right DLA for your care needs and mobility.

Hello,

Maybe I have had a different upbringing than you. You talk about poverty, you can't have any idea what that actually means!

Yes my family had it difficult. No money for the electricity so we used oil lamps and a paraffin stove to cook on. Furniture consisted of second (well to be honest, probably fifth) hand items, painted to make them look new.
Damp beds, with coats on top to stay warm.
I was 18 before I knew what it was like to have hot water come out of a tap.
A toilet that consisted of a stone outhouse with a wooden board and a hole with a bucket underneath. Newspaper squares for toilet paper.
In the winter we had 'potties' under the beds that we had to use and empty in the morning.

Food, well anything that was cheap or at best given away!

And you go on about swimming!!
You want to realise that what you have already is a lot more than most have grown up with.
Spoilt is the word that comes to mind!

Every meal I eat and every warm bed I sleep in now, I thank the Lord for. It could be a lot worse.

No, of course I don't. I only had experience of it 5 years ago when my family were forced to live on less than £20k per year and had a £700 per month mortgage to pay.

And you go on about swimming!!

Swimming is the only thing that enables me to live a pain free life. And no, I don't wish to undergo major brain surgery or take medication for the rest of my life. Oh, actually I already do - but given some of the side effects of one of the painkillers I was on, (which caused me to constantly feel sick, gave me bruises and a rash) I would rather not go down that route again.

I do? Explain how low rate equates to the following amount of care needs:
- medication 4 times a day
- dressing and undressing twice a day (sometimes more)
- showering, shaving, etc.
- communicating (including reading and speaking)
- constant supervision because I'm at risk of falls and harming myself
- preparing a meal for one
- toileting day and night
- eating and drinking
- social activities
- help turning over at night

You don't know the first thing about my disabilities; so stop acting as though you do. I assume like the majority of the population, you haven't got the first clue about what torticollis, Nystagmus, optic atrophy, depression and IBS are.
