As does the Shadow Minister for Disabled People, Marsha de Cordova, judging by her question…

Thought she used to work for Citizens Advice?

I think this means claimants in same situation can lodge MRs and Appeals and ask for them to be stayed pending the outcome of these cases?

Can anyone confirm exactly what we need to do in this situation? Is there a standard form of words or just something along the lines of what Sarah suggests?

Also, can Martin or anyone else at CPAG give us any update on what is happening with this case please?  Did CPAG get permission for JR? http://www.cpag.org.uk/content/universal-credit-disability-and-transitional-protection

I have a case involving a corporate appointee where it seems that the only resolution might be to claim UC which will involve loss of SDP/EDP and client becoming £42 p/w worse off with no other change of circs…

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/jun/14/disabled-men-on-universal-credit-discriminated-against-high-court-rules - Grauniad report.

A DWP spokeswoman said: “We will be applying to appeal on the one point the court found against the department.

“This government is committed to ensuring a strong system of support is in place for vulnerable people who are unable to work.

“Last week, the secretary of state announced that we will be providing greater support for severely disabled people as they move on to universal credit. And we have gone even further, by providing an additional payment to those who have already moved on to the benefit.”

It’s nothing to do with this case guv’nor, just one o’ them coincidences, like….

It’s OK we may have taken two premiums away but we have increased another one (a bit) instead.
Good to see the DWP press team are still addicted to misleading statements.

So for people who’ve recently fallen foul of natural migration and lost their SDP what can we do about it? The usual appellate route; to me, is redundant as the regs are the regs.

Am I on a path to JR?

We’ll have to wait for the new regs - the DWP took them to the SSAC yesterday and I understand the SSAC consultation on them should be out very soon…

Thought [Shadow Minister for Disabled People, Marsha de Cordova] used to work for Citizens Advice?

She was policy officer for one of the large charities for blind people (RNIB, I think) and used to attend the Disability Benefits Consortium.

Now I remember. It was the Thomas Pocklington Trust and Action for Blind People. I got very grumpy over an article she wrote on moving from DLA to PIP which contained a number of deceptive to inaccurate statements. Wasn’t impressed.
