Legally I don't belive that they can backdate any changes to PIP
I have an email stating that I will receive the benefit for 10 years
How would this be rescinded?

By new legislation and a new benefit. Once upon a time I received DLA for life....

I also received DLA for life, they did away with that, so they can change it as Zipz has said.

as regards the BBC podcast, I wanted people to get an idea of where the government is heading, in general. I agree with Andi66 that speculation about what may be is heightening worry levels and worry makes us feel worse. I believe that with this government there is hope that things will get better. I believe we need to carry on and deal together with anything that comes our way. Not all carers are on Universal Credit. My carer is my 23 year old grandson who also works full time as a Teaching Assistant with children who have special needs. I bet you could also tell us stories of your wonderful carers. Let’s bring some positivity about what is happening NOW and not worry about what may never happen. I was carer to my mum for 10 years giving up a good job to look after her full time. We managed on her pension and my carer’s allowance plus Children’s Tax Allowance for my grandson whom I brought up from birth. We never went without anything we needed and, as you can see, my grandson grew into a wonderful caring adult. I think we need to have hope for a brighter future and a better chance of improvement in our lives with a change of government.

I used to be my mums carer until 2017. When she suddenly passed away from a stroke in hospital. So I know this is hard to not to worry until we have some sort of concrete evidence of what they are doing. They seem to go back on what they say. Especially if they get people and charities like scope to defend us .
