Comment on Liverpool parade crash victim refused PIP despite life-changing injuries
Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 7 hours agoYeah you’re right, it’s totally anecdotal and I have no way of knowing if this is widespread or extremely rare. Just giving my own experience.

Good on ya for taking criticism and digesting it! That’s genuinely awesome to see! 🤘🏼🤩 We’re all on that journey, each at their own pace and points along, so don’t stress.
Sorry if I came in a little hot. It’s a topic I have strong feelings about. 🙇♂️

No worries, it’s an emotive topic, particularly to those of us who have disabilities or have friends or family in that position. They should be able to access support without having to jump through Kafkaesque hoops.
It’s probably worth mentioning that my experience is certainly coloured by my own history - for many years I was addicted to smack and crack, and so of course my social circle included a whole lot of proper wrong uns. I’m far more likely than the average person to have known people who have committed all sorts of crimes, including those involving benefits. This really does skew my anecdotal experience. I should have made that clear in my original comment.
