Surely this is a cheat..changing WCA to PIP

tomwalker

So as I understand it the previous attempt by the government to change LCWRA descriptors was deemed illegal because sure enough it was in fact only an attempt to save money and not to help or access people too sick to work…so the recent government announcement to merge the WCA criteria with PIP( and non work related benefit which they intend to tighten( is just doing the same thing but avoiding the courts surely?

Hi @tomwalker, it might be worth checking out our Green Paper Discussion which we've created for our members to discuss the recent green paper release (if you've not already seen it of course) 😊

Also, just thought I'd add some links where you can join Scope in pushing back against these cuts. Here are some of the ways you can get involved:

• Add your name to our petition
• Invite your MP to our parliamentary event
• Respond to the consultation by 30 June 2025.
