PIP Review Blues

#Ukpol, #DisabilityBenefits #PIP As much as I’m sure there’s likely a good reason for it, I’m miffed that trying to fill out my latest PIP review reveals that they’ve dramatically changed the wording, numbering and sub-sections of ALL the questions again in a way that makes it more difficult than it used to be to copy and adapt from my answers from my previous review.

Well, it’s finally happened. After literally 30 years of using Windows computers (ie since I was FIVE YEARS OLD) I’ve switched to Linux. This is partly because I don’t want “AI” features added to my computer without my consent and Microsoft is doing that all over the place right now. Mostly though? This is because it routinely took 15 - 45 minutes for my laptop to turn on enough to be used for anything.
