When will the government stop lumping together the disabled and the unemployed? They clearly need different programs. Gov need to stop the current madness of "reforms" altogether and start all over again.
No money - stop spending it on foreign scams!5 -
She looks terrible. The perfect look to scare children.

To me I see it as if you get a good assessor who doesn’t want to stab you in the back you may be found severe enough so that exempts you from constant assessments. This frees up the assessors to give more frequent assessments to the rest of us even if our conditions don’t change or are likely to. Timms said this morning when asked if they’ll make any more cuts in future, you don’t know what will happen in 5 years . Well will do know the Labour Party will be finished by then but who will replace them that’s the thing .

that’s really interesting. Have they removed it ? Did you screenshot it by any chance? I wonder if anyone from scope can clarify this ?

Yes maybe, but watch the DWP / Gov responding to 3.6m people within 6 months would be fun, 'there is method in that madness'.
'Please, please stop writing to us, o.k. no assessments'.

Morning. I probably will lose my pip. I guess it as good while it lasted. I am not sure. But this is very distressing. They should get the cuts somewhere else.. I assume they are mostly attacking people on pip. And some on UC.. right.. in any case this is really very distressing...

I'm really scared my highest in daily living was 3 now I'm far worse due to Myelopathy and Radiculopathy Stenosis and the list goes on! I can no longer dress and wash myself. I can't cook at all and need help to eat as I can't grip properly. My review is due from October this year as my award ends October 2026. I get standard mobility but as I can't be operated on and my Lumbar Stenosis is causing saddle anesthesia I'll end up in a wheelchair.
Without PIP I will not be able to afford any of the vital things I need!

hi yes I heard that said on Noam nyles channel but it just says they’re looking into it . It doesn’t mention the 4 point problem. That’s the thing that needs changing and obviously they’ll fight tooth and nail for that .

Hi, I am on Old style ESA (Cont) supoort group and PIP for many years due to cerebral palsay (Wheelchair user) . Does anyone know what will happen with that? Thanks

From what I understand about 1 million disabled people will loose Daily Living PIP (even some on the higher rate) due to the new 4 point rule at their assessments from Nov 2026. I can't believe they can get away with this for existing claimants who genuinely rely on this money and work is not an option. I think our efforts should focus on ensuring that the 4 point rule should at least be flexible for existing claimants !! 😡

I agree this the worst part of it all . I get highest care but not 4 points due to assessors ignoring the 4 point questions. This is what needs challenging. Plus the fact that esa lcwra wca is completely different from what I remember to a pip form / assessment. They haven’t incorporated anything into the pip form for lcwra . How can that be legal ?

I received enhanced on both aspects and just read my assessment notes for the first time in a long while. I did score a 4 on care; yet was shocked to see some zeroes where it was obvious it should have been a 3-5+; which I will be arguing at my next assessment.
I wouldn't be too concerned with previous assessments as I believe the government have surely seen the high level of tribunals at present and in the past, mainly due to the assessors either being dishonest, inept or a combo of both! -(imo)
When it comes to my renewal/review, I'm going to raise all of the errors in my past assessment and mention all my provable-increasing-disabilities, since that application

Its not just existing claimants but new claimants will also be affected.
None of it is fair.

Same here, I sympathise. I offered to send photos to my consultant/gp, basically anyone with any interest, 🤣 strangely they all said no thanks (117 visits in 20 hrs my worse). It did cross my mind would any government people want them but that might be considered a hate crime 🤣😭. I've not heard of closmat loo I'll Google that. I can't even go on water meter which was told would ordinarily be cheaper but it won't be for me.
