Hi, my name is BeverlyAnn!
I receive PIP and work full time. I work from home and had to take a massive pay cut so that I could carry on working as going into an office is simply not an option. I live in a village and need a car to get me out even to go to the shop. I don't get full mobility but get full daily living. If I lost PIP I would not be able to afford my car making me housebound. With working from home, I don't see people other than my husband and daughter. I am absolutely dreading my next review in case I don't reach the criteria. It's not about getting people into work, a lot do but at a compromise. It's about having a certain quality of life.

Hi @BeverlyAnn and a wam welcome to the community!
It's incredibly stressful to live with that uncertainty. It sounds like you have made significant sacrifices to keep working so it's understandable how you're feeling right now, it's very worrying and scary time.You may be interested in the Green Paper Discussion and Spring Statement Discussion as members are chatting about the recent news there.
It's lovely to have you on the community and I hope you enjoy your time here
