Where exactly have you seen this?

It was a bit confusing as there were multiple places reporting on this, all local news websites which are notorious for not properly vetting their information.
What I did finally get to was the source of the information, which appeared to be the Daily Record.
This is what they are reporting as changing. The way the government gives out contracts for carrying out the assessments is changing. Before the contracts for WCA and PIP assessments were handled separately. So in a single region, one company might do WCA assessments, while another company might do PIP assessments. These are being merged into one contract it seems.
No other changes are reported from what I can see. Also keep in mind is this from the Daily Record. I've not yet seen anywhere else independently report this, all those local sites appear to be using the Daily Record article as their source.

As I said before @Catherine21 the articles I had found online regarding this were all written by the same person, which is mighty suspicious. I'd not class it as news at all, just someone trying to make some money by selling articles to various internet sites.
But you're doing great by asking questions. 😊

I'm thinking only my thoughts that labour will go with The WCA changes that tories set out as labour claimed that tories stole thier idea on that as tories proposal for WCA was change criteria for new claimants and existing claimants wouldn't be reassessed I checked with scope by phone fro that information I'm thinking they will go with this idea

There is no clear indication that Labour will implement the WCA changes proposed by the Conservative government. While Labour has suggested that the Conservatives "stole their idea," this does not guarantee they will adopt the same approach. Without an official statement from Labour, it remains uncertain if they will pursue these exact changes.

I got so used to that ideal to be honest as it stated no reassessment and criteria for new claimants that is awful to say was just relieved that wouldn't be reassessed but they would of changed that om sure

Catherine, I will remain sceptical of any information I encounter until an official government announcement clarifies the benefits and the revised criteria for claimants. Until such confirmation is provided, all current discussions are purely speculative and, to be candid, resemble little more than an educated guesswork.

Fully agreeing with you there @MW123 there's no point in panicking over what might be.

You are speculating again and I'm sorry but it's not nice. Labour haven't announced anything. I can see why you're so stressed out because you keep reading all of these silly newspaper articles and that isn't helping.
