    It's a payment freeze they're talking about. There's multiple articles out there for it. They won't stop the benefit in its entirety.

    ok thank you, the way the media headlines describe it are making me worry , the way they say stopping or freezing pip , instead of saying freezing inflation 🫨

    Freezing simply means that the rates won't increase. That is not the same as stopping. This year the rates will only increase by about £2 anyway, so it's not far off a freeze. No one knows what will happen with PIP in future yet.
