WINZ Supported Living Payment, ACC, disabilities & toxic advocacy

[@ErichRaeder]

Just letting you know what is currently happening, people who are on the Supported Living Payment are calling out the changes made to the Supported Living Payment in terms of obligations which now include the traffic lights, prepare for work, take part in work ability assessments and take part in services with service providers, what happened was Russell Brown noticed that what was applied to the Jobseeker Payment was also done to the Supported Living Payment and began to raise the alarm

My interpretation from the WINZ website is that "some" people will indeed be affected. Note that those on supported living payments are allowed to work part-time, below thresholds.

@@ErichRaeder MSD have made a clarifying comment on their Facebook page, saying some people on SLP have an obligation to *prepare* for work. Linked to the same web page I did.

Why doesn’t the Grov reword it. Pm said we will made you go. Instead come to a seminar, have cuppa tea and get support. What he should have said. National did this before.

@@mummylilbear6088 i have seen some disability advocacy groups saying there is no worry about the change to the supported living payment, lately i have seen people like Huhana and etc call out the changes made to the supported living payments as well, i have noticed some disability advocacy groups want zero discussion in the changes made
