We'll see how it pans out, but Liz Kendall was quite specific about the changes to #PIP and it would appear I will no longer be eligible for my disability benefit from 2026. I have post-viral chronic fatigue, barely leave the house and a trip to the supermarket sees me bedridden for 36 hours.
The #CFS specialist at Birmingham hospital reckons I'll be like this for 5 years and any recovery is predicated on minimal exertion, even if I feel capable. I cannot "work" even if I want to (and I do).
