Pip cuts.

I'm deeply distressed about the proposed pip cuts that people won't get the daily living unless they score at least 4 points in a discriptor. This means I will lose my daily living because I get 2s and 3s in all discriptors even though I can not bath without help or cook without help. But they still gave 2 points. But also what people have not mentioned is that those who's families claim carers allowance to help look after them will also lose the carers allowance.

    Hi @Dianaf bless you, please know you're not alone in feeling this way, and you've a community here to support you. Although the green paper has been released, it is the very initial proposal. We're entering consultation which will allow us the opportunity to have our say and respond.

    It might be worth taking a look at a discussion where a lot of our members are coming together to share their concerns/questions, and support one another. This is called - 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.

This discussion has been closed.
