I tried to make sense of the government strategy on unemployment, particularly as it relates to disability and long-term sickness, and I gave myself a headache. Hopefully this offers some insight nonetheless - substack.com/inbox/post/1...

PIP is not a work-related benefit. Those that are inc JSA & UC
A gov workplace accident entitled me to a benefit that gov will now take off me to supposedly help me back into work… 🤷♂️
