Pip reforms and potential timeframes

Hi everyone,

As most of us are probably aware, there are likely to be changes to our PIP payments in the coming months. There is a lot of speculation at the moment.

How long is it likely to be until the changes take effect? I feel the ESA changes took some time to come into place, and the reforms to PIP have to have a white paper published and discussions in both the House of Lords and Commons. This may all take a bit of time? I know the answers, maybe, like how long is a piece of string.

    Hi @Waiting001. It's difficult to say exactly when changes will come into effect but it will be a lengthy process. Sorry I can't be more help than that.

    Likely to be changes? is there? All I've heard up to now is constant speculation because there's been no official announcements.
