The proposed reforms fail to understand the disabled persons' day to day reality and demonstrate a lack of empathy towards to the vulnerable in our society. Disability is not a choice and disabled people still have needs like the rest of the country.

People are taking advantage of benefits system and that's why government gone to hard line to tackle this issue. Disable benefits are most needed benefits for disable people who are unemployed as well due to their disability either visible or hidden. A robust system needed to put in a place that genuine benefits seeker never miss out from this essential benefits.

Tackling immigration issues also a another important agenda of the government. It can only be possible if the people worldwide get fare share of the resources and utilise properly so that refuse seeker no need to migrate other countries. Government need to balance this measure according to human rights as a leading country in the world. I completely oppose people sending to other country who are seeking refuse to this country.

I was not very happy to hear this announcement of benefits changes. Lots of people who are really eligible for this disable benefit will suffer. Because of language barrier lots of people will face difficulties to fill up the form or telephone interview and will be out from the benefits system. We want fraud relating disable benefits stop but not avoiding the genuine people.

I don't support people to send other country to mange immigration who seeks refuge here. Government can control border efficiently to stop people coming in to the UK.

I have recently applied to do a course to gain HR/admin knowledge -hopefully I get somewhere as I need a plan B for when my current workplace sacks people as it's already underway

I am so tired of being paid my full time wage paying bills and childcare with not enough to scrape through to my universal credit payment to then again pay out on the remaining bills/ missed bills and the rest of the childcare, I have had enough, just to go through the same cycle next month but worse off as every month you just get a little bit further into debt…… where does it end

I think this is another example of how far removed our prime minister is from reality. And although I don't claim benefits myself, I work and I'm studying. I've got a child who I'm currently actually trying to claim disability for. He's got pathological demand avoidance. We're in absolute poverty and I'm dealing with a chronic health condition and I'm absolutely broken, absolutely broken. I'm at the point where something has to give and I honestly think my child needs me and obviously he is the priority. And I really feel like I don't know how long I'm going to keep being able to go to work because I am so broken. And then it worries me that am I going to be able to access any kind of, like, support financially if that is the case? I'm just in disbelief that the government are targeting this vulnerable group of society. And I think that what's screaming to me is that we really need to focus on putting the infrastructure in making sure people can access help for their mental health rather than pulling the rug out from underneath them before that is solved. A six week course of CBT is not the answer. We need long term psychological support for this cohort of people. Absolutely frightening.

I think the prime minister's speech was in three c's. Very calculated, callous and crafty. And I say this to say, as on the surface, yes, the government is having to look at the figures of the amount of people in, rather than out of work, and realizing that there are more people, there are more people than the actual budget that can carry the people who are out of work. It does not mean that they've then looked at the reasons to why. Yes, it's great to look at data, but you cannot look at it as we've seen with changing realities separately. You have to go with what is actually happening or what is going against the mental health and health abilities of the whole country. It's very sad and a very poor response to what's actually happening. And I don't think that there's any statement whatsoever so far that shows me any way forward of what help, the help this society is going to get ahead of the elections. And it's quite sad. It's really frightening. I do wonder about it before I sleep or when I wake up in the news.

Struggling to pay bills, feed the family and deal with the emotional impact of having an autistic child who has been emotionally manipulated by her father and is struggling with her bond with me. She feels guilty for loving me because her father has spent so many years abusing me that she feels being nice to me is going against her father and that she’s doing something wrong. I’m really struggling with her behaviour. We have very little support and the fact that the government and Sunak is talking about cutting money to disabled people is leaving me wondering what will happen to my daughter? If we have our benefits cut or stopped this is going to lead us to be further alienated from the community. I wouldn’t be able to fund the private support I have to pay for because our council doesn’t have enough funding to provide this for us.

Absolutely appalled to see Rishi Sunak make such flippant comments about peoples mental health and accuse us of lying about our conditions.

The Benefits system should be there as a safety net for the most vulnerable who cannot work.

He has invested no money into the mental health budget this year and services are already broken so I’m very keen to see where he’s going to get these therapists from to get people better and saying that we can’t go to our own GP to be signed off Work is corruption at its finest let’s all face it we all know that the assessors for Pip for example lie and twist our health conditions around to deny us of money that is there to help us get better and support our medical conditions. They will just say that we are fit for work when we are not to save themselves money this will just push people into being suicidal and giving up the will to live.

As a mum who has lost a child to suicide in the last few years it doesn’t give you much hope in the way of carrying on in life as if things weren’t hard enough for me as it is I am beyond speechless, it’s not ok him to sit there and throw comments around like life’s ups and downs is completely unacceptable! That’s abusive behaviour. He’s pushed us into a corner of starvation being cold and hungry, denying us of mental health services and a crippling NHS which is on its knees. Kids running round with machetes no police when you need them and the ones that are around are all corrupt.

I actually hate this government and I actually hate to say that I’m a British citizen and I live in the UK. I hope that when a new government is elected that people do not vote for labour, conservatives or the lib dems because they are all useless and ruined this country we need a completely fresh Party to come in and sort out this mess.

My postal vote came in today, I'll send it back tomorrow when I head to town. It's a shame, I enjoy going to polling stations and taking my kids and showing them why it's important. But this year I need to vote via the postal system, it's just too far away to get to my "local" polling station.

And I'm not thrilled by the options available to vote for either. In our area Labour is not different enough from the Tories to make me want to vote for them on a personal level, they're right leaning Labour options and don't share my values especially when it comes to LGBTQ+ rights, especially trans rights and "woke" culture issues (I'm pro "woke" cos it literally means being awake to social injustices). I know why Labour is leaning right, to get those Tory voters to pick them. But the Lib Dems are the ones who are saying the things I want to hear more often, especially when it comes to child poverty.

I feel I have to vote Labour, to get the Tories out, but I want to vote Lib Dem. It's a shame that being a candidate is so hard to achieve in this country, how many amazing leaders are out there that have real lived experience of low income life and the skills to make improvements but can't because it's so expensive to become a candidate that only those in the upper rungs can really get in. Frustrates me.

I understand why many people I talk to don't see the point in voting anymore, all the parties are the same just in different colours. All are rich who prioritise their profits. Voting doesn't feel like your getting a say in the government that'll serve you but more like your picking which future national abuser is the lesser of the available leaders.

Today's I'm voting for police commissioner and mayor. Still going to pick Labour, over Lib Dem, cos need to get rid of as many Tory influencers in local council as possible. This year is when we need to strategically vote for Labour across the board, only party big enough to overthrow Conservatives, then hopefully next time we can get Lib Dems in who seem to be more left leaning by the year.

How is it possible to keep a civil tongue in your head these days?

I'm losing the will to be civil to anyone lately, especially anyone who dares to ask me "can you"? When the question needs to be "should you"? Can I walk to the neighbours house? Today I can, but should I? No, because I'm likely to fall or get stuck coming back.

I'm losing the will to be courteous when the PM argues that mobility aids are one-off costs when I've been waiting on the social housing list to move home and will need to start again with equipment when we do eventually find somewhere else to live assuming that's a 'forever home' or that my health will plateau rather than deteriorate, as I age so no prospect of buying a mobility scooter or power chair to get around on. Never mind that his policies cause unnecessary competition, placing one health condition over another when all conditions are equally debilitating to those claimants.

I'm losing the will to be understanding when the PM argues that it isn't right to pay us an on going amount each year and that NHS crutches are cheaper to buy than the type that grip the ground better, stop me from slipping on wet surfaces, cushion my wrists and hands better from uneven floors or limit my upper body from bearing the brunt of continued force through weight bearing through my arms neck and shoulders.

I'm losing the will to be kind when a 'glorified work coach' rather than a GP tries to encourage me to ignore my limitations needs and disability as though ignoring it will magically make me non disabled and cure my health issues. It doesn't, it only makes us miserable, isolated and worse off.

I'm losing the will to see both sides when statistical bias is presented as facts, to shoe horn people into believing they are not as ill as they think they are. Being taken off long term benefits and declaring people "fit for work" doesn't instantly make them employable again. They still have their limitations and conditions and as such, employers won't touch them with a barge pole. I'm losing the will to see any self worth or value as I'll end up offered the jobs no one else wants to do.

I'm loosing the will to see eye to eye, when told PIP will no longer always be a cash benefit, even though, I for one am totally dependant on these payments to support my living arrangements, or those with limiting conditions are blamed for the tax burden and already live in constant fear, uncomfortable with the hideous and degrading process of claiming the funding they are legally eligible for.

I'm losing the will to see myself as anything other than a pawn in a political game. Maybe I make my own suggestion to boost the economy. Maybe if MP's were to take a pay cut that could help.

It’s been a stressful few weeks. Trying to work out what needs paying and when and how much, then working food shopping around it!

When it’s half terms it definitely uses a lot more in everything. Having to use things that are 'buy now and pay over 6 weeks' to get through. I know it’s then going to have an impact over next month or 2 to fix it.

I keep looking out for household support fund as that was very helpful last year for half terms. However my area still hasn’t decided on what to do with it since April the 4th.
