A recall a patient who waited 2 YEARS for a knee replacement
He was a self employed builder
Due to his severe knee pain he lost his job. After a year lost his home which led to his depression
Want to get the sick back into work - employ drs & solve the NHS waiting list crisis!
Good Morning Britain@GMB
The government says job advisers are to be stationed in GP surgeries and hospitals in England, as part of efforts to get the long-term sick back to work. Family doctors will be encouraged to refer patients for employment help alongside their treatment. The plan is designed to deal with the rising numbers on sickness benefits. @richardgaisford has the latest.

There are parts of DWP's 'in-house' training that pose a threat to the #MEcfs community.

Here's the real reason DWP Universal Credit claims have soared
Despite parliament being on their summer holibobs, the right-wing rags haven’t taken the summer off from spreading DWP lies, writes @RachelCDailey

DWP internal documents show Labour assurances on Universal Credit cuts are worthless
Internal WCA assessor training obtained by the Canary just blew a hole in Labour's assurances on fluctuating conditions under the Welfare Bill. @h_sharland reports:

It is estimated that there are only 73 Southern Resident killer whales left. The situation is so dire, that this orca population may disappear if the recommended measures are not implemented soon. Full story at: bit.ly/44Z7AT8

@DRDisabilityReb @Shrink_at_Large @Orc1nu5 @Dr_Bekka_UK @BladeoftheS anyone know how to file a complaint about the DWP/UC? I looked it up & it gave me a telephone number. I did and explained the situation to a nice man who then told me I had to write and post. Surely online?
English
@MePeterNicholls For sure. But she said his answer can be referred to if they need to challenge it

@LurgeeLife @DRDisabilityReb The minister has explained the definition of constant - and his definition given in the Chamber should be the one used by the DWP in decision making. If it’s not, challenges can be raised that they’re failing to apply the law correctly.
English
@ayaz_manji @ThisisMEtweety Oh I definitely have concerns still. I wanted to have a record of what he said so it could be used in the future if necessary.
He said "Constantly" refers to functional criteria not to symptoms
But hopefully the wording in the bill changes and it will be made clearer
English
@Orc1nu5 @ThisisMEtweety It’s definitely true that when eg the courts need to interpret legislation, what Ministers say during parliamentary debates is important evidence about what parliament intended. But concern here is on how big the gap is between that stated intent and the wording in the bill:
English
Ministers have said the requirement for a descriptor to apply 'constantly' forms part of the way the severe conditions criteria is currently applied in the WCA. There are currently four requirements and 'constantly' doesn't appear within them. 👇
English
@ayaz_manji Does this give any reassurance? x.com/orc1nu5/status… See also down thread where Kirsty Blakemore says ppl will be able to refer to Timm’s answ in future. (Surely it should be in the bill though?!)
Orc1nus@Orc1nu5
UC Health element - severe conditions Kirsty Blackman got Stephen Timms to confirm that "constant" means that they cannot reliably, safely, repeatedly, in a reasonable time do that activity. If not, then descriptor applies. Does not mean 100% of time
English
@FootyEddie I think it's all here, but I haven't got the energy to go through it today
