Hi tumilty
I can only speak for myself but actually spoke to the person when migrating over and they assured me that they would take care of hb themselves, and they did to my discovery after I rang my local council offices and they indeed confirmed dwp had been in touch and all sorted. hope that helps.

@Socrates63 thanks for your reply I did think that.
Also I hear that they are a different department to ESA and they also contact them regarding health and reasons on ESA..We worry about stuff because of our health issues but generally is straight forward.
Socrates the great Brazilian midfielder.

Hi tumilty
Shucks, I don't like to brag. That was many moons ago. I also been know to dabble in the old philosophy as a sideline ๐. re:about your post concerning health etc, yes they do go into it with your local council. assuming you're in council or housing association. suppose they have to, to cover themselves. understandable I suppose. Take care

Hi again tumilty,
I can't for the life of me work out the punchline on that one. I've been on it for hours. no, sorry uve beaten me. put me out of my misery. What a bizarre picture I've got in my mind, the great socrates on the team bench smoking a ****(terribly hooked on the fags by the way) talking team tactics in a Scottish accent. Funnily enough he almost caused a coup in his own country by threatening to bring to team(national) out on strike over pay. He was a very deep thinker of politics. Hence his nickname socrates. one of the coolest of footballers ever to play the game. in my humble opinion of course. funnily enough I almost used my old username but thought better of it. Just thought I'd share that. ๐ค

Hi ranald,
Oops and double even triple oops. That never occurred to me. It's been a few years since I heard anyone been misconstrued about slang word for something else. naughty old Hector! or rather naughty old socrates. have to try and be more mindful in future. thanks for that. Cheers mate. ๐

Excellent. Typical Scottish humour. Typical of fergie as well. Just can't imagine socrates with accent. Like something out of monty python.

I do remember Miller. I also remember fergie at Aberdeen. Don't quote me on this, but in his 1st week there he almost got sacked for telling the long standing tea lady where to go, if you get my drift. Anyways true what you say bout yesteryears. They'll never come back. Too much money. See you soon.

@Socrates63 and @Ranald yes they were good days for football, that Brazil team of 82.and when teams like Aberdeen, Dundee Utd, Forest and Villa could win things. Socrates typical medical student, drinks and smokes, philosopher too.
Sorry @luvpink my fault for bringing it up. ๐

Maybe I'm just being overwhelmed with information or maybe just overwhelmed with stress and I can't think straight at all right now, but I'm confused again about what is going to happen to current claimants of LCWRA with no PIP.
Can anyone help clear my head on this a bit?

Hi @geckobat, the Work Capability Assessment isn't due to be scrapped until 2028, this is when some changes are likely to come in. From what I understand, current LCWRA claimants who don't qualify for PIP will then be given transitional protection which will erode over time.
Until 2028, things will be staying as they are for current claimants. You'll continue to receive the full amount of LCWRA and it'll also continue to rise with inflation.

I'm so anxious they won't have moved me over by then really playing on my mind yogibear kindly sent article timms saying they will mirror as much as possible for claimants after 2026 I don't trust them it's always something to worry about
1 -
Thank you Rosie.
Does the transitional protection just mean help for a short time and then I'm on my own? More or less. If I didn't qualify for PIP.
Also, since they changed the bill name, was there still to be changes to the PIP assessment? I've gotten so confused these last few days.

Hi, erm.. Not sure I understand your question, but it was my understanding that lwcra is only given to people on esa benefits (old style or new). Lwcra as far as I know isn't given to pip recipients. Pip is mainly for help with everyday needs nowt to do with work. I might be wrong though. Could you try Google it perhaps?
