    If they do stop the disability benefits people who have pip cars taken away mobility scooters too . For me pip helps to pay my extra rent and the high energy bills. Cost of rent has doubled since covid. Bills and food also shot up

    No one knows until an official announcement is made.

    If you join the thread that scope have asked us all to, you will be able to join in the conversation and get more answers.

    Hi @neil12345,

    I hope you're doing ok today? @luvpink is correct - we're having a big discussion about it, which you can read here: Upcoming changes to benefits.

    At the moment, no formal announcements have been made, so no one knows for certain what the changes will be or how they’ll be implemented. However, we're actively campaigning and raising awareness through The Cost of Cuts, and we’d really appreciate your support and signature.

    We understand this is a difficult topic, and many people are finding it challenging. To keep the community a safe space, we're encouraging all discussions on benefit changes to stay in one place. For that reason, we’ll be closing this discussion, but we’d love for you to join the main discussion thread here: Upcoming changes to benefits.

    Best wishes,

    Holly
