Yes I agree.

I used to think like that but in Scotland for ADP we are asked to confirm and sign that all medical records can be accessed. In my experience it helped my claim. I did used to photocopy and send lots of stuff and possibly still would but I think being able to see the timeline and progression of both my physical and mental deterioration helped. Also that there was agreement between clinicians about my diagnosis and prognosis.

In the Green Paper (Recording Assessments) they use the word 'may', when she (Liz Kendall) spoke in Parliament I'm sure she said 'will' be recorded.

I assume that nobody will be writing to all PIP recipients to set our minds at rest with regards to whether any of the changes announced yesterday will affect our benefits and we will just be left in limbo for the next few months ?

Your point about benefits being unclaimed is a good one. That has never been touched upon or mentioned by any sides of the Government. Some people are just not able to make a claim due to poor mental health, no access to computers, housebound etc. Pension credit and disability benefits are amongst those affected. Instead they focus on benefit fraud crackdowns and sanctioning?

I responded to the green paper and made it clear in the question regarding the 4 points that there isn't any support they can offer me that will help me or my health condition after they rip away my PIP and my Carer . I also stated how assessors rarely give 4 points even when they should .
What support can they possible give someone who has degenerative or life long issues that will only ever get worse . Taking away my money won't make me magically better and be able to work . What on earth are they thinking ?!

Are you able to give the reference number in the green paper so that I can read it for myself/

What about an increase for Carers allowance ?
My wife works for over 50 hours per week at just over £1 per hour !
The only mention in the green paper is :
Unpaid Carers
The government will consider the impacts on benefits for unpaid carers as part of its wider consideration of responses to the consultation as it develops its detailed proposals for change.

I guess the lesser of two evils but evil all the same . They’ve not only kept the Tory cuts but increased them as they needed a bit extra cash . I wonder how far they would have gone had Ellen Clifford lost in court ? In the long run I fear this will discriminate against ppl with illnesses who can’t work but fit the pip criteria. But of course more ppl will apply for pip as they’ll need to or be destitute. I reckon it’ll cost them more in the long run.

I think a lot of people are struggling to understand what has been announced and no doubt the genuine fear of how we are going to to try and cope and manage in the future has impacted us too I personally cannot control bowels and have a closmat toilet fitted and I have a bath board and rails fitted too so these class as aids I guess I am still waiting on my review from December been through two lots of tribunals already dreading having to do a third one so in the future if you hear of someone having a poonami in the job centre it will probably be me I would like to work but what employer could tolerate the mess

Yes it’s so short sighted isn’t it. It’s like they’re deluding themselves. All serious conditions are going to get worse of you remove money and the right for a carer? So you will have more strains on hospital services and GP’s. The four point fiasco has to go. I actually get four points and am on enhanced for daily living but I can see that someone may have more points than me in 2/3’s overall?
It’s the definition of ‘Cutting off one’s nose to spite their face’.. it’s going to lead to more sickness and disability not less.

I read that Scotland doesn't get PIP but I get LWCRA. Does anyone know what will happen in Scotland are they going to be able to make their own decisions in terms of any changes? Does anyone know where to find the points I was awarded for the LWCRA uc50 form? Thanks.

Hi, Can someone explain the legacy Esa and ns Esa bit, as I'm confused. I moved from incapacity benefit to cb Esa only around 2019 so what kind of Esa am I? Also any info on what happens with people still on dla?

They are thinking that they save money either way - either you go to work, or you die. Either is acceptable to them.

Can someone explain this to me. So if you get PIP, you will still get LCWRA, right? And the PIP assessment will be all you need, you won't get an extra assessment for the LCWRA? But at the same time they are bringing in more frequent assessments for UC. If I get PIP and automatically qualify for LCWRA, will I still have to be assessed again for UC?
