I am not going to debate the posts, I have listened to Tice and Jenrick breifly about Reform policies to cut benefits and no one can disagree it’s a huge problem. They said every case will be assessed by a face to face interview with experts not online. 4 million currently claim P.I.P. where are they going to get the experts from to do this as the system can’t cope with claimants now.
Another ill thought out policy by Reform, we get one a week now and the last few have been denounced as unworkable, just another smoke screen to cover up for Farage finances.
"The current system doesn't work now,it can't cope with claimants" Just move on,let it roll eh.....What if that'expert' catches out a good few every week?
What not to say,and what to say on a PIP telephone claim..it's all out there on the net.
I can’t disagree, a fella I know applied and got Attendance Allowance after a telephone assessment. it was even back dated another was claiming Pension Credit again a telephone assessment. The DWP face severe staff shortages, who wants to sit face to face with clients on meagre salaries, why do you think the Job Centres employ security ?
Let it fool no one, Reform standing in front of cameras trying to convince the electorate how they are going save £50 million, just another fantasy policy like Reforms no tax before £20000 income where the figures didn’t add up. Scheme to stop the boats using the navy again unworkable and finally building Nightingale Accommodation type forgetting it takes years to build secure accommodation and staff them.It would take years to even pass planning with the NIMBYs objecting.
It can’t go on but until there is enough staff willing to do face to face interviews nought will change, I have witnessed staff being abused by applicants, they would have to be behind security screens.
