Many ill & disabled people who simply can't work (and their unpaid family carers) are living in fear that more essential support will be cut after the Timms review. The prev planned cuts to PIP were devastating. UC health (sickness benefit) has already been halved for newly ill/disabled people

Goodbye! Bizarro Kilowog says trust the system!

(Art sampled from "Action Comics" Vol. 1 # 1061 by Jason Aaron, John Timms, Rex Lokus, Dave Shapre, Jillian Grant, and Paul Kaminski. Edits: Dialogue, background.)
In a comic panel Bizarro, the polar opposite of Superman who speaks in opposites, says, "Goodbye! Am not Bizarro Number One not here! Bizarro am not reminding you that violence am never good! No matter what not happen, never use violence against fascists! Bizarro am civil! When they go low, we go high or else Bizarro am as bad as fascists! Bizarro know Democrats am about incrementals! Bizarro trust in government and fix things with elections! Am no need for Bizarro organizing!" A caption reads "A Kilowog-core Edit."

The Stephen Timms review of PIP shows that the government is no longer seeking to find savings in the reform of the disability benefit. Former Institute for Fiscal Studies Director Paul Johnson says this means ministers have “given up” on cutting the benefits bill.

This might be helpful for people to read.
Changes to PIP have been sidelined until the results of the Timms report, which does involve consultation with the disabled.

Noteworthy that my MP (Labour) wrote to me to say welfare is safe in Pat McFadden's hands. Why have Labour rekindled the whole disability welfare thing while the Timms Review happening?

It's the biggest bill the govt has to pay. How can you reduce its impact on the public purse without some changes?
You can't clean up a baked on mess without some harsh scrubbing. This is why these issues were addressed early on

They National: "When Labour were plan- certainly shouldn't be punished into ABOUR have been criticised for imposing "cuts by stealth" on a benefit designed to help disabled people get back into work. Social Security Minister Stephen Timms has confirmed that the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has tightened up its process for approving Access to Work support payments since his party came to office. In an interview with Disability News Service, he said that it was "likely" he had approved a departmental policy change to impose the rules around the scheme to be applied "more scrupulously". He previously admitted in the House of Commons that the changes were resulting in it being harder to get the payment. Access to Work gives grants to help disabled people get and stay in jobs by covering costs such as specialist equipment and software packages, support workers and the costs of trav-elling to work. Asked on September 1 by Liberal Democrat MP Steve Darling about to Access to Work, said: "There has been a big increase in demand for it, and reform is need-ed. We are looking at the consultation responses at the moment. There may have been instances in the past ning on making swingeing cuts to ben- it with the threat of cuts. This deci- efits for disabled people they claimed that they would support people to get sion should be immediately reversed into employment - now it turns out with full compensation for everyone who has been affected." that they are also making cuts to the Shani Dhanda, very service designed to do this." She added: "The Labour minister's Access to Work Collective, a group glib response won't wash with the set up to help get disabled people into "Disabled people have thousands of people waiting for assistance through this service.
