Living in this nation it’s no wonder everyone is suffering with depression
true I suffer with depression knowing how bad this country now days,Its not stopping me from working,Its really not an illness,Just more Benefit cheats,Be glad when DWP get so tough so no one cant cheat the system any more
Attacking the sick and vulnerable as a means to try and fix the mess they made of the country. Cant get any lower than that.
Mental health isn’t just depression!! It’s Bi Polar, schizophrenia, Autism, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, are you telling me these are ups and downs of life??
yes there are . Get a job , go to work instead . We shouldn t care about your problems Lazy brits will find all these kind of excuses not to work and have somebody else to pay for their bills !
Autism isn't mental health children are born with it my son was diagnosed at 4 he has severe LD.
@@Kokomo2675 I have it too I found out when I was 21 I hope the government doesn’t try to have a go at me and try and take it away from me I need pip for my every day challenges
@@Kokomo2675 My apologies, you are absolutely right. My sister’s son is also autistic . I do know the heart break and worry that my sister experiences watching her lad struggle and how difficult the smallest things can be for him. I was just mad at the fact that the government are once again going after vulnerable people.
its lots of things and they just don't care as they ruined the country and just want to shout look over there not our fault, zero seats for the nasty party
Give people vouchers, what decade we in here? 😂 Christ, who’s actually going to vote for these complete clowns.
Exactly
Utter clowns!😅
The USSR used vouchers. Look what happened to them.
Rishi sunak was never going to attack the richer classes they always attack the sick and ill.
"It's NOT the "states" money." It's taxpayers' money
yep,Tax has been eating up most of my wages lately,Got hardly nothing left in wages,I was going to treat my self to some new things I need,I cant now,All gone to the tax man and pays to DWP and pays for lazy workshy yet again to sit on their backsides doing sod all............
@@dalebenton3354 But The CONservatives won't force all those people into work because it will show the real level of unemployment, which is 4 times higher than what they are telling you
How bloody disgusting saying people are fraud if they are unfortunate enough to be ill ..
British citizens before illegal immigrants!
Really, nothing to with the immigrants fgs,
Is that why most of the people who are not working are British
@run2cat4run that's not true

Get the Tories out!!! Get them out!!!
To be replaced by Labour who will bring even more people here and put them on benefits, be carefully what you wish for
Labour will be just as punitive towards the long term sick
Be careful with your vote folks
Any recommendations?
@@brianpotter3870 reform for now then more extreme next time. I've asked reform on twitter if they will show the ethnicity of the criminals including victims and they don't want to answer they are far from perfect.
Just vote Labour
@Raj-ul9my you are crazy. Labour will finish this country
@@cha9165 The country is finished, thanks to the Tories.
I get PIP. Most of the time it’s hard to even keep breathing, it’s effort and it’s painful. I have carers twice a day. I’m bed bound and housebound. How would food vouchers work for online shopping as I can’t go shopping. How am I meant to work? I’m not reliable. Some money I’ve spent to have private appointments because I can’t get one on NHS. There is no cure for my illness. I don’t even want to be here, I feel like a vegetable physically and mentally. This is just making me feel more worthless and suicidal to be quite honest.
Depressing.
Don't worry, any changes won't affect people, in such circumstances as yourself. Keep your chin up.
@@El.Cid17 The government want to reduce the number of existing claimants; so they'll make it tougher for all while the right wing press exaggerates the fraud level in order to make us all seem undeserving.
You are not worthless. I'm sorry you live in a system that would make you feel that way ❤✝️
@@El.Cid17Are you sure about that?
I'm guessing these vouchers will only be redeemed at the big supermarkets and not your local corner shop. Hmmmm... I wonder who is trying to get this implemented? Making the rich richer whilst taking from the most vunerable in society. Again.
How about stop paying for migrants
Gonna pay more when Labour get in, migration will increase under them in the short term....... I'd say higher still long time too
There may well be people who are abusing the system - but please be careful. So many who suffer certain mental health problems can never expect to live a normal life. It takes an 'expert' to judge and make these decisions and I cannot think all these 'assessors' are experts in this field.
Given how things have been previously, they almost certainly won't be, it'll be an outsourcing company that don't know anything about what they're doing
Remember the last crackdown on "benefit scroungers" where we had unfair persecution of innocent people who could not work including those who had actually died?
As a retired Counsellor Psychologist it has been my experience that many people with mental health issues do work. However, mental health is complex and is never one size fits all. Add to this is the fact that many people are waiting far too long for the help that they need. Mental health is underfunded and sadly lacking for the majority of people. I find the title of this video insulting and degrading not to mention cruel.
100% took the words right out of my mouth etc.................are these "accessors" so called mental health experts????????????????......maybe some are capable of some work .........but a hell of a lot can,t etc...................
This man…. Can we call him that…. Is a cold hearted Tory……. Cold cold cold….!!!!
Yeah awful man let’s hope he don’t lose all his money let’s see him try and get benefits. They think they hand out . No you have to fight in a court to get food on the table they act like it’s a luxury life if a bloody Rock star . Try being in pain 24/7 .Why is the benefit system so high 🤔 boats might have something to do with it . This Rwanda bill going cost trillions in the log run .He’s just gave 750 million to war yet again .

I have CPTSD and a range of physical conditions that put me out of work. I do get benefits but I’m having to go through periodic assessments and constantly being harassed by DWP despite formal diagnosis by specialists and psychologists. This notion that they just hand out money and leave you alone is a complete LIE. Maybe interview people that are disabled and hear the real experiences.
They aren’t interested in the truth. Just tyrannical agendas.
Nobody even knows who this guy is.
Another complex ptsd case.
PTSD and CPTSD are treatable.. im a cbt therapist and have treated 100’s. U ain’t kidding me I’m afraid
@@pt4005 CBT is not a good treatment for CPTSD at all. If you knew anything about the nervous system and fight:flight you would know that. You’re the one clearly lying
@@30daymissionman I totally agree with you on this. Recovery from CPTSD takes a lot of processing and CBT helps with a fraction of what needs to be done and is nothing to do with trauma processing, which is physical. I was offered six weeks of CBT on the NHS, years ago, which I would have had to wait a while to receive, so I followed a different path where people actually know what they're talking about. Very tired of the gaslighting on mental health.
Sending big hugs. I've been through the assessments too, but not for mental health. Hard enough to considered not fit for work unless your head is hanging off. They have their stats to maintain.
Alex should go along with someone who is applying for PIP, then he might not talk utter shite.
Much like many of the PIP claimants.
@@brianpotter3870You don't half talk utter shite. Have you always been a prat?
GB news is disgusting with this headline and the government are just shite
@@GerryT.Touched a nerve hey, how long have you been on PIP?
@@brianpotter3870 , it touched my nerve because my daughter is autistic and I had to fill in the 50 page form and escort her to an assessment to prove she needed help, despite the fact she was diagnosed as autistic when she was 7 by one of the top child psychologists in the UK (plus the entire team; speech and language, hearing specialists, etc.). She was assessed by a psychiatric nurse. Do you think we faked it somehow? You know nothing about the process, and I assume you don't give a shit about the people having to go through it. Quite frankly you can FRO.
They start with people on PIP and very soon everybody will be on food vouchers...
Exactly!

One question i would ask this panel...if they saw someone with no legs crying at the bottom of a set of steps, would they walk up and shout at them from the top to stop being lazy and just climb them because they have managed to, or would they offer to help and spend time getting there together?
In this country with tories they would walk past them like they were not there. People already do this to the homeless.
Silly statement winner right here, how did this imaginary person with no legs get to the foot of the steps
What a disgusting headline.
HERE HERE.
Click bait
A disgusting headline from an equally disgusting 'News' channel.
Yes it is an illness that's why it's called mental ILLNESS! The way this country is going and the way people are having to live is causing everybody to have anxiety at the very least. I'm a single mother with 3 children and I'm literally living paycheck to paycheck as soon as the money comes in it goes straight back out. My kids have grown out of their clothes, 2 of them need new beds and my couch which I bought second hand 12 years ago is falling apart. The only way I'm going to be able to afford all that is if I don't pay any of my bills for a few months. I'm one of the lucky ones I know there's people worse off than me so when the whole country is worrying about whether theyre going to be able to afford a home and food this time next year or even sooner, it doesnt surprise me that there's so many people with mental illness.
It's called faking it to get benefits

The real unemployment level is much higher than what they are telling you. If you are on a zero hour contract, you are not counted as unemployed, even if you have no work. Also if you are on minimum wage, and you have work for say only 6 days, you are not counted as unemployed for the remaining three weeks of the month, and are expected to live of that 6 days wage for the whole month, with no benefits for the three weeks you are unemployed. Don't let the Conservatives CON you into believing there is low unemployment. No wonder people suffer so much stress.
Apparently this people don't believe in karma...lol... Everybody gets sick eventually and their time will come too

I think that the government and individuals should look at the root causes of all the medical conditions that people end up getting PIP for. I am 49 and was only diagnosed with autism about 3 years ago. So now I do receive PIP. My mental health became so bad before I understood what was going on in my head that, although I was working and always had done, I ended up self harming myself by heating up kitchen knives until they were glowing and burning myself. So that the pain would distract from the pain in my head. Plus other physical problems that developed due to my nature of not asking for help.
The majority of the now common mental and physical diseases people suffering from are caused by bad diet. The established dietary advice is all wrong and based on studies paid for by the big food producers. Think back to when, for decades, concerns about the effects of smoking were ignored doe to 'studies' paid for by the tobacco companies....
People need to wake up and realise that business has only got even bigger since then. It has sought to influence and control media and governments with much greater resources to keep people in the dark.
Sat on a panal news broadcast as if its hard work, 😂😂 easy work no dedication, easy life probation get a grip and find yourself useful.
Welfare fraud levels are in fact very low.
PIP is 0.2% (or 20p in every £100)
It's a piddling little amount.
Plus the system is one of the meanest in the world.
@IndigenousBritish-dg7dm I don't see what you are getting at. I gave the government's official estimate which is based on all available data.
All Muslim women included in them stats?
@@HouseOldSkoolRaver Presumably there are a few Muslim women on PIP, so the figure must include them so yes.
@@ireallymeanthis2760 all fraud not in those figures.

There are people who can't work due to disability but is it any wonder that there are all these people many young who just can't cope when they have been brought up never being told they are wrong have been allowed to do what they want when they want. Is it any wonder they can't cope being in a working environment where they are not top dog have to take orders from people above them and have to get along with colleagues. It also seems to be fashionable to suffer from and to be diagnosed with certain conditions. I myself have suffered from depression and anxiety and have returned to work

It is very demeaning giving somebody vouchers, when I was a pupil at a Grammar school in the 70's they issued dinner disc vouchers for poor children, which had to be collected from the Head's office. Consequenty I didn't collect mine and had no dinner because I was ashamed, in the end my Mother had to give me money she coudn't afford. So I am absolutely against anything that singles out people like lepers and would march against it.

You do realise many of these people have worked their a rs es off and paid ointo the system , many have work related health problems which many will never appreciate because they don't know what hard work is, That Man self rightous attitude is a disgrace!
Stop calling people on benefits "frausters". That is a tiny minority, used by those whos goal is to cut budgets to free up more money for vanity projects and their mates contracts. Its just bile.
What about the company’s that are paying less than the family that are on lower wages. I thinks just another way to pick on the lowest in society !!
"The previous Labour Government created the Future Jobs Fund (FJF) in October 2009 as part of the Young Person’s Guarantee where 18-24 year olds reaching the six-month point of their Jobseeker’s Allowance claim were guaranteed an offer of a job, training or work experience.
The Conservatives got rid of it.
It is shameful enough to have a mental health illness without having to use vouchers at a shop. Also it would no doubt reduce places you could shop at. It is discrimination.
A hostile environment is what we wanted.
It's not discrimination. People should be grateful that they get help and stop whining and complaining. Maybe part of the deal should be completing gratitude training. Funny how we never hear beneficiaries say "thank you".
@@amethystfeathers7324 most people are grateful for the financial help they get in their time of need. You can't help being mentally ill, there is a lot of shame that goes along with that, also the shame of being unable to hold down a job, shame of having to rely on benefits to survive, and to force people to use vouchers is just sickening. It can be hard enough going out to a shop without having to use a voucher which would make it known that you have a mental illness. That is discrimination.
@@amethystfeathers7324 Next you'll suggest, everytime people get their benefit pay out, they should light a candle and sing koombaya.. People are grateful for the pittance they get on benefits. The question you should be asking, and the most important one is.. "Is work worth it?" And you'll have your answer. When you admit the absolute failure that is The government, immigration policies.. And general incentive to work.
You work for the same amount you would get on benefits, only difference is.. you don't get taxed.. and also you don't do the actual work, and honestly.. looking at the state of the country; shame/pride no longer comes into the equation.
As is always the case, people cheating the system sure.. But it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand why, either. Voucher's is one of the dumbest ideas i have ever heard.
N a z i
Where’s the motivation to work when you have nothing left after paying your bills
Tokens are a terrible idea. That'll mean being forced to shop at certain gov designated outlets when many of us can't even leave our houses due to disability.
Plus budgeting is already difficult enough without the additional task of trying to exactly match your expenditure to your token's value bc there won't be any change given.
Im sorry but what he is saying is disgusting.If you are diagnosed with an illness that you have no control over.It is not black and white.There are no simple answers.You cant just decide im not going to feel depressed today so im going to work,mental health doesnt work like that.Depression is not just feeling sad it is hell.Nothing matters anymore you just feel like a burden.So telling people they are a burden will cost lives and stop people asking for help.In my opinion if you havent walked in someone elses shoes you have no right to judge.

My wife has a chronic pain illness that leaves her housebound the majority of the time, I'm her carer but I also have illnesses, I have spondylosis, kyphosis, and scoliosis, my spine is battered and only getting worse as the years go on, I will eventually need surgery but according to my doctor I will never work again, don't get me wrong id love to work, I've worked all my life apart from the past 3 years, but when you're as ill as I am to the point some days I can't even get out of bed, it makes you wonder what the hell is going to happen if all this gets implemented.
me 45 years of working in the building game and paying tax and never been ill or in hospital until last year when i was rushed in with a serious heart problem thickened walls and dodgy valves it does not pump properly "i thought it was normal every one could feel heart pounding when doing stuff" now im trying to jump through hoops trying to get benefits they just keep trying to get out of giving me some even though they have had letters form my heart specialist saying i cant work. its like a joke to them

Even folk who has all the correct qualifications and plenty of experience and can hit the ground running which is what employers want can have serious private problems that make them unemployable at that time. The government has let everyone in society down as folk are human beings and not robots.

They'll dehumanise us with vouchers,but hey,come here illegally, you won't only get illegally obtained benefits,but cash too 🤦🏻♂️
Stop giving benefits to anyone NOT BORN HERE and see the fraudulent claims end
No money should be sent abroad.the people that worked there must have seen something amiss .
We hear different figures about economically inactive from 5 million up to 11 million . Then we hear there are 1 million vacancies. So how are millions expected to get work ? No one seems able to discuss this WHY? Surely this is fundamentally a flawed debate.
Rishi you should stop pip for people who have fits now its discusting that they get pip just because they have fits
Thousands get it for acne etc minor things
My daughter has suffered mental health issues since child hood she wants to work the state has to much power already over people's lives.
Tax the richest 1% who underpay tax and get high tax breaks. Like scrapping the bottom of the barrel targeting mentally unwell people. Also, it would be discriminatory to give vouchers 'only' to mentally unwell, to be fair even those on all other types of benefits (job seekers etc.) should receive vouchers on the same principal behind the reasoning in this proposal. A law to pass this would face a discriminatory test on this ground. This is poor thinking on the part of govt, perhaps the stress of losing the elections is giving then an episode of mental health stress and anxiety.
Just don't take Mirtazapine - worst drug ever... 'Starts off pretty good; helps you sleep, and stabilizes your circadian rhythm for a maybe a couple of weeks or so; then as the weeks go by, the drowsiness increases, you become intermittently bed bound, can't think, paranoia sets in, you forget to breathe as you're falling asleep, which jolts you upright to force yourself to breath again - just feels like you're dying. And you can't discontinue the course either; you have to start chopping tablets up to ween yourself off them. But by that time, the neurological damage is done. Feels like your brain tissue has melted and hardened into a tough rubber material all around your brainstem after a few months. Your family turns against you because they think you've been taking some heavy shit, the government starts playing games with your money, and then when you're finally down to your last few pennies, they start your money again and pretend that they haven't defrauded you out of your savings.
I've had depression for years managed with medication and always worked. Although there has been 4 suicide attempts, working is what kept me going. However I've now been diagnosed with bone disease, arthritis and m.e., I'm housebound, in fact, bed bound most of the time and feel more worthless than ever. I know, why don't the government legalise assisted suicide, that way they could just be rid of us in one fell swoop.
Who's going to pay the shops to take vouchers
I work through anxiety it's better to work than festering at home. On low free income!!
People getting money they are not strictly entitled to is actually better them being in poverty, or of course "genuine" disability claimants not being in poverty as a result of these attempts at cutbacks which as ever will end up affecting disproportionate amounts of people who need the support, leading to such dire outcomes as abject poverty and suicide, therefore noone empathetic should stand by such ideas.
Maybe when people are in full-time employment, they could pay they're taxes in vouchers to the government too! How are the unemployed suppose to pay direct debits & repayments of money owed for credit & financial services they took out during full-time employment?
Just felt angry through this whole interview, they don't have a damn clue.

And let’s be honest , we all know many fakeing it’s
And where did you qualify as a Medical Professional?
To say that mental health is not an illness demonstrates profound ignorance or wilfulness. To most people they get by with the ups and downs of life, but some have problems, sometimes serious, requiring clinical therapy to manage.
I consider myself fortunate. I have never had to seek medical advice about my mental health. Woopee boogaloo to me.
So when it comes to a clinical diagnosis I think I will stick to medical professionals, not Social Media or the unqualified. For the rest it is just opinion and they are two a penny...
Most young people in care homes some of the going home with no education abaddon with no social care groomed and ending up with depression no qualification with criminal re cords .cause when children are in care, the local authority gets a lot of money looking after children with mental health.
If they think that there are too many people with mental health problems it must mean that they must be investing money into making mental health care better and more accessible. Obviously. 🤔😵💫
That's a great idea coupons to the frauds put a stop to their gallop
Best idea ever - give them the same or even more money but in vouchers. Shops won't be able to dodge tax on goods sold. Money can't be sent to other countries. Then social stigma of using the vouchers, should motivate those who need motivation to go find a job.
I dont think people who have fits should get pip it should be stopped i was born having fits i had fits for years but i still went to work everyday and earned my own money and never got any benafits so the goverment should stop pip for people who have fits now
Which one of your m8s is this about 😢
Loads of people genuinely need benefit
But loads don't and lie on their CV put on a show. We are learning how to wing it through what ever we want to scam out of !! And sit at home on phone pretending to be something but their nobodies taking in mindless information
Sorry can’t ask people with severe mental health problems to work Evan if they go for help and there conditions better it’s not cure problems will always be there in a work place no way they could last
As someone who watchs uk news this is quite bad. Ive Cerebral palsy & autism and through determination i do work 2 days a week at a garden centre which i enjoy but i do rely on government assistance but am semi independent thankfully my government is more better for those who have disability than uks
PIP is not means tested, you can work and claim PIP. The goverment should focus to change the law in regards to the Legal Coorporative Tax Avoidance
I honestly think part of the problem also is hardly any jobs don't exist for people with disabilities or mental health issues in this country. The government should create jobs that help people in this way a comfortable job they can earn from. This would help mental health alone.
My son who is 40 years of age has three mental disabilities. At first glance you may think he is normal but I can assure you he is not and at the age of 16 I was told he would never live a totally independent life. When my husband was alive we both worked hard to get him partially independent but he still needs support in some areas and even now he goes to college for those with learning difficulties and learns what he can to live a more independent life. This year he has been learning about cookery amongst other things for the first time at 40 almost 41 years of age. He is autistic, dyspraxic, and has learning difficulties. All have their problems and I am the only person left who can help him. My own health is poor so I am helping all I can at present, but for how much longer I don't know. He will have to rely on his carers. His Care Manager apparently moved jobs and no one told him.they said they sent a letter but he never received it and no one has been out to see him in the meantime except the carers.
This debate is absurd, there will never be vouchers. And yes, the system doesn’t allow for people to work. Some people could do some work but not enough to cover the cost to live, meaning they are forced to stay on benefits.
Is Baroness Mone paying the PPE money back in vouchers.
I believe a formal diagnosis and treatment is required under a Psychiatrist. Strictly…. I
In my family we all are working but I am disagree against the voucher system . People need cash because it will be more beneficial for them . They can spend their money to buy food from markets which is more affordable prices
Wdf vouchers will work ..when on is disabled and cant get out
People like this. 🤔
Talking about safety net, isn't to give cash payment is a safety net why would the government give voucher, but they have money for war with cash, but voucher for the people that is so nasty, mean, down grading, for the Government, wonder if their family member on sick benefit get voucher 😂
Safety net? I've been made redundant. So
hard to claim benefits. I gave up trying. Dunno how anyone can live of the amount they offer. If they'd rather claim at home than work I pity them.
