Hi Everyone,

Difficult day for a lot of us - I hope you're all doing ok.

Am I right in thinking that the PIP eligibility criteria won't change until 2026/27? - the whole 'needing 4 points in one category' thing?

    Hi,

    Yes changes in November 2026, however a lot can change until then and whether this will pass law.

    Oh dear, what an awful day - I have PIP enhanced until December 2027, so my past experience says I will hear from them in 2026.

    My condition has deteriorated since my last face to face.

    I now have sleep apnea, bi laterial stage 3 hip osteoarthritis, frozen shoulder, greater trochanteric pain syndrome hips, ankylosing spondylitis lower back L1 - 3. And deafness and associated problems. All diagnosed recently

    I only have 3 points but twice on my last assessment report.

    Im worried about telling them as I could get face to face which stresses me - but seems like I need to score some 4 pointers to keep my award....

    Difficult times people, for us all I hope you all find strength in unity and get the awards you deserve ...

    Hi all. We understand you have a tonne of questions regarding the new green paper announcement, so we've created this discussion for everyone to talk about it here - The Green Paper Discussion

    We'd prefer to keep the conversations regarding this all in one place, so as to protect the mental health of all on the community, so we will be closing this discussion. I hope you understand.
