Petty sure it is as I was on contribution based ESA, for years then they change the rules so you could only be on contribution based for 24 months max, then it goes to income based, contribution based you can claim no matter how much money you have in the bank

It would help if they weren't pushing to build on farm land. We have a couple of theorised development plans in our area which are supposedly on farm land which is not only grade 1 but also still in private hands, yet afaik they haven't removed these areas from their development plan…the infrastructure here is on its last legs and those fields are our flood plains, so it's all a bit of a mess.
I think it would be eyeopening for the people in the DWP to read through comments like the ones here, on how many of us had assessors or decision makers who didn't really attend to what was said to them or what evidence was provided, but just got details wrong.
I definitely still have trauma from that year of switching from DLA (which felt safe and helped me so much) to PIP (which feels like an ongoing war). I don't have a mental health diagnosis/disability, but that year, I was offered antidepressant medication and mental health support, because of the trauma caused by the DWP and their constant misrepresentation of my disability.
And yet, I'm one of the working disabled people, which is apparently what they want from us. Do I feel less targeted? Not in the least :/
My heart goes out for all the people also dealing with the ESA uncertainty. If they only understood how much suffering the not knowing is causing people as much as the changes :/3 -
Definitely relate I swear I have ptsd from assessments but that's what they want evil
