From what I can see this we are going to cut benefits after 18 months is only true of people found fit for work and refused to do a six month work placement, they are changing the wca on mobility part only not social engagement or toilet incontinence as previously stated? Have I about summed it up correctly?

There's a full thread here related to it. https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/112187/the-autumn-statement-2023#latest Everything stays exactly as it is now. Changes maybe made for new claims from 2025 but there's a GE before that. All we need to know right now is that nothing changes for now.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
They're targeting claimants in receipt of the full UC allowance only with no other elements or benefits and who've not engaged with them for six months
