it’s funny you saying that as I read in her comments someone else mentioned she shouts , apparently she has hearing problems due to a car accident. I’m particularly deaf so I shout too 😂.
She basically said the dwp has just announced the 4 points affecting pip pip rule now affects pip . She reckons it was just lcwra /health element originally not pip. But yesterday they announced it was also to claim pip the 4 points were needed. Ppl in the comments said it was always 4 points for pip from next year but she said it wasn’t. It doesn’t make sense as without pip we won’t get the health element anyway . I left messages for scope to clarify but they haven’t. Nonbelieves replied and said she wrong too.

Wasn’t the 4 point rule always for PIP though? How would it affect LCWRA (beyond people without Daily Living PIP being ineligible for LCWRA under the new rules)

I managed to get a ticket to one of the in-person consultation events, which should be interesting

I don’t doubt he’ll get them voted through but hopefully the courts or the ECHR will protect us .

Great, @evelyncourtney! I tried last night, but the tickets were sold out, so I had to send them a message.

for some reason it will not let me put the link, it does then it doesn't lol sorry if it messes up
Think this was what she was referencing but she gave the I think the 7th as when it was released but this was published on the 3rd. This is just my opinion but a lot of folk around the internet seem to think the 4 point rule would be a precursor to getting LWRC only, believing PIP itself would still just require 8 points to get an award. I am not sure if this is where the confusion comes from, unless anyone else can find a newly released document as in the 7th of April.

hi the link doesn’t work unfortunately. I think she’s said ( brain fog so could be wrong) that the 4 points was for lcwra/health element originally but they’ve now changed it to include pip . But my understanding is you won’t be able to claim lcwra/ health element without pip anyway. So you need to get the 4 points get pip which then gets you health element, so you won’t get one without the other . That’s what I thought .

thank you . Do you mean to get pip standard will be a 4 points descriptor plus a further 8!points making 12 now ? I thought it was staying 8 for standard but including a 4? Point question

Sorry secretsquirrel re the link, when I click on it it does work 🤣but when I click on the discussion link it doesn't 😕 no idea why lol I have had no issues before with links but the Gov doesn't want me to have this one haha. Will try and fix later but for now might be a copy and paste to see it lol if that even works.
Who knows what the heck is going on lol I mean its no wonder everyone is so confused about all of this Cr** Everything the Gov put out is confusing, makes no sense and they are basically saying, here you go, like it or do without ugh 😤

No its still staying at 8 but 4 points in one 😊Its so difficult to word without causing more confusion lol. Some folk think that the 4 point rule only impacts that stupid health insurance benefit thing but not PIP, not sure why they believe that but many do. Don't stress, PIP is still 8 points for standard but one descriptor must be 4 points.

thank you . This is exactly what I thought from day one but the video seems to say that they’ve only just changed it to include pip . Even ppl in the comments were saying the same thing .
