@GMB This is absolutely disgusting I have previously worked with substance users who get enhanced with both elements of PIP who continue to abuse themselves and the system and this guy has had his removed,the system is wrong and the majority of PIP assessors are not medically trained
'I live my life through pain'
An amputee has been told to repay £36,000 in disability benefits after Department for Work and Pensions investigators secretly filmed him playing cricket - footage they say proves he can walk further and do more than he claimed.
Shaun Rigby says it shows one good moment on heavy painkillers, not the day-to-day reality of his life. He appealed the ruling, but an independent tribunal agreed with the decision to remove his benefits.

@GMB Maybe speak with @lilyallen and get the real story not the opinionated rubbish that the media is publishing, she tried everything to prevent this!
Lily Allen has revealed she returned her 'very badly behaved' rescue dog who ate the family's passports. She said "After many months and much deliberation everyone was in agreement that our home wasn't the best fit."
Is it ever OK to return a pet?
@liamgallagher Another amazing gig from you, like a fine wine getting better with age, you certainly put the Arena on the map... Enjoy a well deserved rest 🩵

Well what a load of rubbish this is @O2 you've had my phone 8 weeks cause it broke and 6 months old, trying to fob me off with a refurbishment, absolutely diabolical service and still taking my money
@O2 Funny how you can reply so easy for everyone to see maybe your staff in store and online require customer service training to do the same, 2wks no phone want me accept a refurbished phone 4months into contract as my @GoogleUK pixel6a broken,
I would like to encourage every City fan to be as loud as they want about the fact we won the treble. A historic, monumental achievement that is not normal by any means.
United won it back in what seems like the Stone Age and they’ve been rubbing it in our faces ever since.
We should be obnoxiously proud of it. And never get sick of shouting it from the rooftops.
Here's another for you @SuellaBraverman. 18 year old boy from Enfield. His Mum dies and he has no family. He ends up homeless living in a shed. He gets my contact details and I help him. I put him in the Travelodge on the A10 for 2 weeks until I can find him a room in a housing association. I knew the staff so this was possible. He was scared, cold, wet, and starving when I picked him up. He cried for hours. Anyhow we looked after him and now he's doing a degree in engineering. It was not a lifestyle choice for him. And I'm sure he'd be more than happy to educate you on this.
@ccwild79@SuellaBraverman Fantastic work, the government need to walk a mile in these people shoes and get out there and see what is going on in the real world, well done to you and the young man, amazing support
@GMB I work for a charity supporting homelessness and prevention for vulnerable people offering support also when in their own homes,it's a daily challenge the support services substance misuse and mental health are broken as pushed to the max,more properties, more funding required
'It is a human rights abuse to allow them to rot in the streets and die 10 or 15 years later.'
The founder of The Big Issue, Lord Bird has called for 'grown-up thinking' about homelessness after Suella Braverman sparked anger by suggesting rough sleeping was a lifestyle choice.
