Are you alluding to PiP? My understanding is that if a person’s condition is permanent, then you only get assessed once.

My mrs was assesed 3 times in the last 12 years.

Not sure what your point is. Simply saying there are certain conditions that attract a one off assessment

And the latest group of whiners about the NI increase are GPs!
You couldn't make it up.

Care home owners as well.
They had all my father in laws benefits for the last 3 years plus all his savings before he died last week.

I guess because there was a post yesterday, suggesting the markets weren't taking the budget well regarding gilt yields and exchange rates. u

Markets haven’t taken the Budget well, and what we’ve seen is a direct response to the new borrowing profile outlined by Reeves, as well as concerns around how businesses will react to a very large tax squeeze and a step up in interest rates.

The fact that Starmer has felt the need to write in the FT today - the article itself has obviously been cobbled together at short notice - only highlights the government’s concerns around the market fallout.

I can see how someone with 60 buy-to-let properties plus works pensions is completely fucked, what with the loss of the £300 heating allowance as well.

Maybe we can organise a bucket collection for this unfortunate pair at the next home match.

Oh woe is fucking me.

It's outrageous that they've shoehorned the genuinely stricken from the winter fuel decision into that article. But then I think they wrote it for a reaction, nothing more.
