    Hi,

    Is there any further available info re the latest changes to PIP coming into effect this month apparently?

    The changes relate to PIP Assessments and suggesting it affects all current recipients. Thanks

    There's no changes coming this month? where ever you heard or read that, it's not correct. PIP assessments continue as they always have.

    Hi, many thanks for your response.

    I appreciate you cannot believe all that the press print but I would refer you to an Evening News article where they explain in some depth the upcoming DWP intended changes for working PiP and PIP recipients. The article needs to be read carefully in order to understand those that are to be affected.

    Hey @Musoman I've had quick look online and have found one article about PIP that I believe is the one you're talking about, but there's still nothing official being said. The same author has sold their article to a couple of different outlets and has quoted information from 2023. So I'd take things with a hefty pinch of salt right now.

    All the ones with 'live" 'record" and "online" after area names should be completely ignored and bypassed.

    They enjoy click bait and scaremongering. They even issue oit the same articles altering very small parts and changing the date.

    Ah yes, it's the usual articles you see online, the ones you really should just ignore and don't read them.

    There's no changes planned this month or next month for PIP or any other benefits.

    Hi Musoman,

    Welcome from another new-(ish) I'm a member of this group of people who are able to help and answer any questions.

    I have waited what seems forever to get PIP I've had my assessment and got a letter from the WWP saying they now have had all they need to enable them to make their assessment. Nikkita
