But what are the chances of ending up like that? Well, it depends on whether the assessments become mandatory, whether universal credit becomes mandatory, and whether the assessments keep up their disturbingly high rate of saying people are fit for work. However, given the seriousness of the outcomes here.
The best-case scenario while the system remains is my current state - there is no hint of an assessment. So I am stressed, all of the time, waiting for the moment when I get a letter that might lead to my death.
I am not a big fan of the labour party, or the conservative party, or the liberal democrats. All three of those parties had a hand in making this system. Of them, I should say the conservatives are worse, since they introduced the JSA sanctions and schemes that will make a switch from ESA to JSA unsustainable.
I am unhappy about the election results, because there was a chance for this to change. If we had had a labour government that was reliant on the SNP and maybe the lib dems, we might have seen an easing off. Maybe not, but it might have been. Instead we see a tightening of the screws. For me, the next five years will be a time of constant increasing tension, waiting for the day when my life becomes unliveable.
It didn't have to be like this. It shouldn't be like this. Please help make it stop.
