    There’s been no changes. What you’ve read is what the Tories are proposing but we have a General Election next week and it’s unlikely we will have the same Government.

    Heya @Susan57 welcome to the community. 😊

    AS Poppy has rightly said, there are currently no changes happening, just talk of possible changes, so I'd try not to worry too much about things.

    Hi I will try not too worry. But the news online keep going on about it that's why could affect lots of people.

    I totally understand @Susan57 it's a troubling time for us, but the news outlets are just covering these things for clicks, there's nothing actually happening yet and it may bot ever happen. ☺️

    Hi @Susan57 , I just wanted to let you know I've moved this discussion over to our PIP category so more people who are interested in the topic will be able to see it. - Adrian
