fingers crossed for you 🙏🤞
So how have they got the backlog down? It was 1-2 years I read . I do think they’ve been doing more on paper. I hope mines on paper this time . I also have new conditions now and will fight for 4 points .

secretsquirrel1Online Community Member Posts: 783 Championing10:27AMdo you mean in regards to the 4 point rule but they knew in 2016 ?I don't know anything about PIP or when this rule was thought up. I've not researched PIP but since the plan is to merge working-age benefits then the 2016 cuts and changes to the WCA need to be factored in. PIP proposals in 2015 didn't go ahead but DWP has had 10 years to refine a new plan!
SSAC reports and W&P committee minutes describe welfare reforms past and present.
Labour is proceeding as though nothing much happened back then when it did.

it’s all so confusing to me as I was on legacy esa until Friday so the whole uc wca is too much . But where you say plans have been in the making for years it makes me wonder if the 4 point rule has too , which is why hardly anyone gets a 4 point.
I have been hearing today about rayner threatening to resign and now speculation she could fight against starmer. I hope she does so this government is in trouble.

She is poison! She was Chief Whip when the 2015 cuts were on the menu. She appears to have double-crossed Jeremy Corbyn then threatened to resign at the start of Labour's administration.
I don't know what hold she has over Keir Starmer or indeed the Labour Party.
The public has lapped up the anti-Starmer narrative like they did the anti-EU narrative.

Amaya_Ringo, "I wonder if that 'warning' about claimants (ie the implication we are all waiting to defraud the government) is actually to obfuscate the very real possibility the DWP will instruct to award fewer points in categories where claimants previously obtained 4."
I will try to find again what I read so I can date this. I think it was WCA related rather than PIP. The implication that claimants are faking anything is grotesque considering the number of sick and disabled claimants who were weeded out the last time leaving only "the most severely disabled" with support.
Now the LCWRA group is to be reassessed under the 2016 WCA 'reforms' leaving only the most severely disabled with support ???

Yes.

There may be a newbie committee member who doesn't know the history of welfare reform but I've not looked.

anything or anyone that causes trouble for starmer is good in my book .

I knew he was disabled but didn’t know how exactly. She did of course use him and her disabled mum to win votes and sympathy

not sure how they can class me as a disabled worker when I’m bed/ house bound . Maybe streeting has found the cure for ME/CFS

I read this morning she was thinking of resigning over starmer . I watched a video on YouTube who said she’s plotting to get rid of him . I hope she does

Amaya_Ringo, "The DWP as an organisation has too much power, basically. There is no regulator. Most other bodies have regulators to ensure checks and balances, but the DWP deals with a huge number of vulnerable people and there is nobody to ensure they do it properly. Without a complete overhaul of the DWP, breaking it down and rebuilding it with these checks and balances, any policy that comes from that department is probably going to be unfit for purpose :/ Just the idea of giving such an organisation more responsibility or ability to monitor or intrude into people's lives is quite terrifying because who is there to ensure safeguarding targets are met?"
DWP intends to swallow HMRC fairly soon, I think. The ending of Contribution-Based benefits isn't getting much attention but this is massive for working-age citizens. It is truly terrifying.

secretsquirrel,
I said "I don't know what hold she has over Keir Starmer or indeed the Labour Party.
The public has lapped up the anti-Starmer narrative like they did the anti-EU narrative."
Perhaps I didn't make clear that she has also double-crossed Keir Starmer. You seem convinced the solution is to get rid of him. Be careful what you wish for!

I thought the wca for lcwra is getting left the same until it's abolishment in 2028 .... Only then will the pip assessment take it over
