The system is already clogged up. I dread to think how much worse it will get.

Reform voting for no doubt

The dwp said sheâs wrong . It wonât affect existing claimants

Yes re-clarified later after she goofed up during questions. I was just pointing out all her answers were not clear in the debate. Not surprising really, when you consider what a ruddy mess this has turned into. Not even the Minister can stay on top of the myriad of different proposals and concessions because it's so complicated.

They might follow the Tories in opposing because the cuts are nowhere steep enough.

I heard the shadow minister for work and pensions Danny Kruger this morning say they wanted it to cut down on MH with young people. Said the increase is 50% young with MH or something like that . He said instead Labour are hitting older people with physical conditions who Toryâs feel sorry for . I think thatâs who it was . But I thought then I bet they vote against.

8 MP's from Northern Ireland have confirmed they are voting 'No' tomorrow. Claire Hanna, Sorcha Eastwood, Robin Swann, Jim Shannon, Sammy Wilson, Alex Easton, Colum Eastwood, Jim Allister.

Jim Allister is of the TUV, a party which is like the Northern Irish branch of Reform/Farage, now if Conservative orientated parties like the DUP/TUV are against cuts then why can't Reform and the Tories be more supportive of disabled people?

Wouldn't it be great if they were in agreement like this all the time. We would be in a better place.đ

These are some of the questions on which they're not providing any answers!

Because they haven't made any concessions in regards to LCWRA, I think it means incomes protected for some years(for existing claimants) and by then there might be more transitional support before you lose it, if you can't claim daily living component of PIP.
What a mess!

is there going to be a three tier system then once the new pip assessment comes along?
Will existing PIP claimants go through this new assessment? And if so, will they be under the same rules as claimants from 2027?
Cause existing claimants donât go by the 4 point rule, and it says on the new document:
- All existing PIP recipients will remain on the current system and the proposed changes to eligibility as part of the bill will only apply to new claims from November 2026.

All of this is a complete chaotic disaster.

With no clarification on LCWRA at all, I'm still at a loss as to whether it's best to apply for PIP now or just wait and see what happens. This is chaos.

Andrew Marr says he expects 50-70 rebels to vote against the government tomorrow, which means Starmer/Kendall/Reeves et all squeak out a win. (LBC)

I'd just apply for it now I don't there'd be anything to lose, it's what I'm going to do.

You're right, still no clarity on their fate as if they didn't exist, even though they're over 2.5 million!!
