I don't see how the two are connected, the Severe Conditions group isn't related to being awarded a benefit, it refers to repeated tests under an award, the proposal is that PIP will be a passporting test so award of a benefit will follow the PIP process for which there isn't a Risk exception...

I think that is unlikely - the current Governmental programme is quite thin so it should be possible to get the necessary legal changes on the statute book by the time the next election is called (although the timing of that is uncertain) but whoever forms the next UK Government the proposed...

After nearly 40 years perhaps I'm immune - I've been through every benefits regime change from Invalidity Benefit onwards - sometimes things get harder, sometimes easier - DLA was a huge leap forward, there's been retrenchment since but in main the most seriously disable people are far better...

https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/universal-credit-uc/uc-faq/what-is-the-uc-health-element The new system will be rolled out, to new claims only, on a staged, geographical basis from no earlier than 2026/27.

Isn't that just a counsel of despair - where any change is for the worse even though the current position is dreadful ? Introducing the Severe Conditions exception is unarguable, whether or not people with severe ME/CFS qualify, but even for those whose conditions are less certain to qualify it...

I can't see where there is answered - although it would impact new not existing claimants - important to note that part will require a Parliamentary Bill.

The latest "Prevalence of ongoing symptoms following coronavirus (COVID-19) infection in the UK" was due March 2nd - clearly that has fallen victim to the funding cut - however employment data is a ONS staple, it doesn't reference COVID specifically but the Economic Inactivity figures include a...

Full details will be released by Gov. on Wednesday a.m, these half trails released to media are often very misleading. Big question will be how quickly changes to ill health benefits can in reality be introduced - on past experience new rules will apply only to new claimants - it's not clear...

The relationship between the NHS, the government which funds it, and its staff has recently soured still further with a once unthinkable nursing strike planned across the UK. While it reflects wider dissatisfaction, this was immediately triggered by this year’s pay settlement for Agenda for...

We can't start with fitting an experiment to an hypothesis - that would be circular. One has to start with a clear statement of what the question(s) to be answered are in the context of an unambiguous hypothesis - the problem you identify (somatisation) (in the context of this thread) has been...

Not sure if this is what you meant: Edit to add this:

Yes ! Though I think the account holder probably sees it as ironic satire.

N=1, in case it's helpful. over the course of a couple of years I went from a whole food veggie to being only able to manage some refined cereals and a very limited range of fruit and vegetables. I did have a bit of knowledge re:horticulture and botany and was able to define a basic FODMAP...

Nociplastic pain = central sensitisation "Current findings would support that both biological and cognitive mechanisms are important for patients with post-COVID pain. In fact, the presence of kinesiophobia levels and sensitization-associated symptoms would support that post-COVID pain could be...
