I don't know if to start my own thread or not because I cannot seem to find any message from scope so maybe I am missing something.

I am trying to find out what exactly does the announcement mean today. So, if someone is on pip now and their renewal comes up next July what does it mean to them. Are they part of the changes or not. It seems starmer has used clever words but it is not clear,

Can someone give me some advice please.

If we currently receive PIP does a review render us as new claimants until a decision is made?

If so, nothing has changed at all.

Thank you

Ok so currently I get pip enhanced rate both parts and cont based ESA with severe disability premium.

With regard to these concessions would I be classed as a new claimant when I migrate to credit or not?

Further it's nice that I won't be subject to the changes but it's so so unfair that any future people in the same situation as many of us now will be treated differently.

Surely it's not lawful.

The concessions are not great. I feel the government are pitting new claimants coming down the line against current ones. Everyone should be assessed under the one criteria. It's going to become a two tier system. Every disabled person should be treated fairly.

Hey folks. To keep things neater, we'll be closing this discussion now, but we encourage everyone to continue the conversation over on the Scopes response discussion.
