are they planning on changing the form questions itself ? I thought I read one of them (Timms?)say they’ll be looking at it years down the line after looking into the assessments ?

just watched kernowdamo on YouTube regarding two resignations, one from a MSP . He read his resignation letter to Starmer and it’s everything we’d love to say .

Pip assessments involve questions about tasks like preparing and eating food, washing and getting dressed. Each is scored on a scale from zero - for no difficulty - to 12 - for the most severe - by a health professional.
For example, needing help to wash your hair or your body below the waist, would be awarded two points, but needing help to wash between the shoulders and waist would equate to four points
How on earth does this make sense!

So, the Navel and mid-scapula are now the criteria
Ooops! maybe it doesnt mean navel; but rather the mid shoulders down to waste🤔

Some of the questions on the form will change alongside the descriptors I would think. No point asking questions that are no longer relevant to scoring the assessment. But it's all guessing at the moment not even the government has got the answers yet.

If this is at all fortunate for me; its on record(all typed out in the assessment) that I couldn't place either arm behind my back🤔
That still doesnt mean they wont mess with me, but i'll be bringing that up in the coming renewal

It sounds crazy, doesn't it? It's all about giving the assessor the tools to limit your score by setting as many traps as possible.

last time I looked my head was above my shoulders so completely stupid. Though Someone did say maybe washing your back ? But as someone with fibromyalgia and cervical spondylitis plus tennis and golfer’s elbow pain changes all the time

in my experience last time assessor asked questions that would award 2 points only . I got my full points for an award but wouldn’t in those circumstances now . This was a couple of years ago and apparently common. Next time I’ll be more vigilant to their scam

Hi, i'm sorry to keep asking this but i posted yestarday and haven't noticed if i have had a reply. I am long term disabled with cerebral palsay. I am on CB ESA Support group and pip (NO UC). Does anyone know what will happen when my claim comes up for review. Will i move over to the suggested new time limited benefit? Thanks

Where have they said that the descriptors are changing?

I imagine some questions will have to incorporate the wca element otherwise surely discrimination

When are they starting these reassessments for LCWRA? It all seems a bit vague at moment with some saying it's for people who's circumstances may have changed since their last one, like pregnancy and those recovering from cancer, is this true as green paper is mind boggling!!

Hi

My hubby as irESA support group and enhanced on both will help be ok if s gets the enhanced. We have to move by 7th June to UC

that's what it said on the green paper and then to move onto other people who are likely to have a change in award.

Morning Luke. I did reply to you yesterday but there are so many messages you wouldn't have seen it. I was saying that I was worried about this, but someone called Pirate008 spent ages calling the PIP people and they told him that we will keep our ongoing awards until the soft touch review date so we won't be reassessed before that time. If you want to view his actual message it is on this discussion, page 39, 3.43pm.
