I am mobile, can walk but it is because of mental health issues so maybe it is daily living i don't know. Do you mean my tribunal scores from last time? So confused.

LCWRA aside, I don't understand why people who believe they have a PIP entitlement don't claim it. Perhaps some people have the financial means not to bother with all the hassle but many more must have difficulty paying for the costs of living with disabilities.

I mean if you only get points for going out to unfamiliar places that’s mobility. I would answer the questions based on what you wrote on your reassessment or did you write no change

I know people who don’t claim due to the assessment process. And Labour intend to make it harder

it was early last year a filled in the form, i can't recall my exact words but i did say nothing has changed as it hadn't but i know i answered thoroughly as i always do but i do recall the letter said it was to see if you still require pip. I guess it will all come back to me during the call..
If they say something has changed then that is them saying i've been lying over the years as nothing has changed

Many people don’t claim PIP simply because they’re unaware they’re entitled to it. I only discovered it by sheer chance. I had contacted the council to ask whether someone working full-time could still qualify for a Blue Badge. My mobility was deteriorating, and I was finding it increasingly difficult to walk, but I wasn’t sure if any support was available for disabled people in employment.
The official I spoke to was very helpful. He processed my Blue Badge application over the phone and, during our conversation, asked if I was aware of PIP. He was confident I would qualify if I applied. Until that moment, I had assumed disability benefits were only for those unable to work. If I hadn’t made that call, I would never have known about help that is available. I’ve now been receiving PIP for the past seven years.
The same thing happened with prescriptions. I had been paying full price for two and a half years before a nurse casually mentioned that my condition exempted me, and that I should have been receiving free prescriptions the whole time. Nobody had ever told me. Believe me, I would have applied straight away if someone had.
So it’s not about people not bothering; it’s about the fact that many people are never made aware of the additional help they’re entitled to.

And that what I don’t understand. There are many who right now aren’t claiming pip due to the assessment process. When lcwra stops if it’s all one assessment people will then be entitled to pip and the health element. So if the health element is the same as lcwra how will they save money?

My conditions fluctuate throughout the day so it’s only natural for our conditions to get worse a year later

It is for the Speaker not the Government to determine whether proposed legislation can proceed as a Money Bill:
"A Money Bill means a Public Bill which in the opinion of the Speaker of the House of Commons contains only provisions dealing with all or any of the following subjects, namely, the imposition, repeal, remission, alteration, or regulation of taxation; the imposition for the payment of debt or other financial purposes."
This cannot be a Money Bill.
