I'm in the same position as you.

BBC have created a quick glance breakdown
Worth pointing out this is the Green paper, Scope and others have laid out what they feel
which is Brilliant, The next year some elections will take place including the Senedd in Wales.
If you haven't now is exactly the time to email the local MP, speak from the heart and tell them exactly how you feel these policies will affect you,
How many times have disability benefits been "reformed" already, they axed DLA
for the grand saving of 0.01 billion they thought i would save over 10 billion.
See the issue? today was the perfect time so say a longcovid taskforce would be created to help and look support for those affected, instead she axes UC for younger people.
So the story about PIP being the new gateway benefit for UC was correct and that story came out in July 2024, Well before Trump was Elected, So all the Froth around these cuts being linked to Global changes are just that, She actually grandstanded about no PIP vouchers
but had no issue that stupid idea causing huge worry to everyone. Vouchers in America are a disaster, they DO NOT WORK. But instead of saying that is a non starter they left it hanging there.
How this has been handled from the leaky dripping of some policies to not denying the more worrying stories like vouchers, Ed Milibands face said it all, the guy looked like he was sitting on a seat of nails. Lucy Powell Likewise they know this is going to cost them.

I’ve had ME over 30 years but not diagnosed until about 15 years ago . Was in so much pain I was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Only treatment was GET( now thought dangerous). Activity management and CBT. Nothing worked so so muscle relaxers and painkillers plus tablets for IBS caused by fibromyalgia. Get full points but never a long award even though there’s no cure . In fact over exertion is dangerous for ME. I’d like to know how they allocate the 10 year light touch awards cos I can’t get better . And I now have two ther conditions since my last assessment.

Brilliant work!
Just quick question..,If the previous award capabilities were an accumulative lots of 2's… does this mean that when reassessed they only refer to your previous application or is it seen as a new fresh review per se?
Basically what im trying to say it, as time has proceeded; and i can only talk in regards to my illness; but the nature of my condition is ever-increasing in my disability to do things. Aka- far harder if at all, to washing own hair etc..
As time has passed, i haven't always kept notes of these ever-changing issues.
In my original first review i explained that many aspects of my original claim (2019) had remained the same; many aspects had progressed, as they will by the time the next review takes place…I hope this makes sense!

I'm going to be affected as well. I'm also under 'severe conditions criteria' and was given a long award. This proposed changes change everything.

SSo what they go on your pip as it is now then move it over ??

So if got 13 daily living points and only 4 on one question I'm confused will they move people with these scores over automatically

I completely agree. If I didn't work, but lived for my own pleasure, even on benefits, I wouldn't be disabled. "Everything is fine, work, it won't get worse, we are successfully treating you," the doctors told me.
Ha. haha…

Spending money on wars is more profitable for the authorities than spending it on the disabled.

Do you attend any of the London Hospitals for Fibro & ME? i only ask as theyre 2 of the conditions i have along with my other co-morbids; so i attend St Thomas' Hospital

I am in the same boat , can you let me know if anyone can answer this ?

yep exactly.. that’s what I think too. If you have savings then you will lose NS ESA after that one year thing. Which isn’t currently the case so that’s a big change and loss for me.

Error so they'll get rid of LCWRA which for my fully disabled wife worth 400 a month but up UK by 50 quid a month by 2029????!

Same for me, I have savings from when I worked so I will have to move over UC eventually now by the looks of it.
I dont have a ton of savings so i'd still get some money from UC, but probably less than what I currently get from CB ESA.
