Hi I'm curious about the new changes coming in. My son suffers from social anxiety he never leaves the house. Doesn't speak to anyone including doctors etc. He gets enhanced daily living at moment. I'm worried what will happen with new changes coming in. When he first went appointment for his uc I was with him. He wouldn't talk except give name and dob, he was so stresses. So she said they wouldn't call him back in due to how bad he was

    Hi @poolgirl I understand your concerns, but I'd honestly try not to worry too much about any potential changes just yet. 😊

    I to am worried. I heard on the news report that those of us on PIP and the health element of UC will keep our benefits indefinitley. Thinking thats great but too good to be true I started researching. I can't find anything that suggests indefinitely.Also what about us all having those awful reviews. For those of us with life long conditions we need to know if we have to have those humilliating re assessments still.

    Anybody have some clarification?
