We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Hughes Brothers will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Hughes Brothers recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners

- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
We also pledge the following:

Support Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council and the Greater Manchester Combined Authorities Armed Forces work streams where possible. Hughes Construction will sponsor a cadet to the amount of £1,000 to support them through their cadet training and qualification.

2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

Judicial Summary

This appeal is mainly about the proper approach to assessing a claimant’s ability to carry out the activities contemplated by the descriptors set out in Schedule 1 to the Personal Independent Payment (PIP) Regulations where the claimant complains of fatigue, and a need for prompting, as a result of a health condition.

In this case the First-tier Tribunal decided the claimant experienced fatigue not as a symptom of her health conditions, but rather as a consequence of her working a full-time job.

The Upper Tribunal allowed the appeal because the tribunal should have considered the claimant’s ability to carry out the relevant activities at the times when it was reasonable for her to carry them out. It was reasonable for the claimant to go out to work, and where it was reasonable for the claimant to carry out an activity having completed a day’s work, her ability to do should be assessed on that basis. TR v SSWP [2016] AAC 23, AE v SSWP [2024] UKUT 381 (AAC) and GG v SSWP (PIP) [2016] UKUT 0194 (AAC) followed.

Flood Protection Restored Along the River Mersey
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-15)

The Environment Agency has completed vital repair works to the embankments along the River Mersey.

Repairs that restore flood protection to 316 homes and businesses in Didsbury and the surrounding communities has been completed.

This announcement comes during Flood Action Week – the Environment Agency’s annual campaign encouraging people to prepare for flooding by taking proactive steps such as knowing their flood risk, preparing a flood plan, and signing up for flood warnings.

The repair works follow the flooding on New Year’s Day 2025, when prolonged rainfall caused the River Mersey to reach its highest recorded levels in 66 years. The flooding caused widespread disruption across the region.

During the event, the operation of Environment Agency flood defences, including flood storage basins, flood walls and debris screens meant that more than 10,000 properties were protected during the New Year period.

The repairs focused on sections of the River Mersey damaged during the event, including four embankment breaches and improvements to erosion protection. With these works now complete, residents once again benefit from the same standard of flood protection as before the January floods.

In the aftermath of the flooding, Environment Agency officers visited over 50 affected communities to understand the impacts on the ground and offer advice and support to residents.

Jamie Dixon, Flood Risk Manager for the Environment Agency, said:

We know how devastating flooding can be, and we’ve worked hard to restore protection for the community as quickly and safely as possible.

These embankments are a vital part of the local flood defence system, and the repairs will help reduce the risk of flooding from the River Mersey in future storms.

We’re grateful for the patience and support of residents during the repair works and continue to work closely with partners to build long-term resilience across Greater Manchester.

Protecting people and communities from flooding is a top priority for the Environment Agency. The organisation is working closely with government to deliver £2.65 billion of investment by March 2026, with a further £4.2 billion for 2026–2029, to strengthen national resilience by building new and improving existing flood defences.

Around 6.3 million homes and businesses are in areas at risk of flooding in England from rivers, the sea or surface water. As part of Flood Action Week, the Environment Agency is urging people to:

Check if they are at risk by visiting: Flooding - GOV.UK (https://www.gov.uk/browse/environment-countryside/flooding-extreme-weather)

Sign up for free flood warnings: Sign up for flood warnings - GOV.UK (https://www.gov.uk/sign-up-for-flood-warnings)

Information explaining the NHS diabetic eye screening programme and why it is offered.

This guidance is for people aged 12 and over who have been invited for a diabetic eye test. You can choose whether to take the test or not.

People with diabetes are at risk of damage from an eye condition called diabetic retinopathy (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/diabetic-retinopathy-description-in-brief). Screening can detect retinopathy before you notice any changes to your vision.

This screening does not look for other eye conditions, so you should continue to visit your optician for regular eye examinations as well.

See Population screening explained (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/population-screening-explained) for further information and videos (in English and 10 other languages) on all screening tests the NHS offers.

This consultation seeks views on extending medicines responsibilities for paramedics, physiotherapists, operating department practitioners and diagnostic radiographers.

This consultation seeks views on the following proposed changes affecting 4 professional groups:
- extending the list of medicines that paramedics can administer in emergency situations using exemptions within medicines legislation
- extending the list of controlled drugs that physiotherapist independent prescribers are legally able to prescribe
- enabling operating department practitioners to supply and administer medicines using patient group directions
- enabling diagnostic radiographer practitioners working at an enhanced, advanced or consultant practitioner level to become independent prescribers of medicines
These proposals aim to make it easier for patients to get the medicines they need when they need them, while maintaining patient safety.

This public consultation is intended to give interested parties and stakeholders the opportunity to inform our final decision.

Individual respondents must live or work in the UK to take part in this survey. Organisations must operate or provide services in the UK.

EcoTech Ventilation Limited

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We EcoTech Ventilation Limited will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 EcoTech Ventilation Limited recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
- Armed Forces Charities
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.
