I wish I could say yes, Catherine.

See the latest DWP press release on the Timms Review. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/disabled-people-to-shape-timms-review-into-personal-independence-payment

It does sound hopeful, but there’s no clear promise to protect existing support. The review talks about “modernising,” “independence,” and “participation,” which can sometimes mean focusing more on work and less on people with complex or long term needs.

And while “unlocking wider support” sounds positive, it often means the assessment decides what help you get so it’s important to stay aware and make sure disabled voices are guiding the process.

Would it be at all possible to limit this kind of thing to one section of the forum? It seems to be everywhere.

Just to clarify, this is currently the only thread sharing yesterday’s latest published news on the Timms Review, including the official update issued via gov.uk. It’s not clutter. It’s a major policy review that could affect every PIP claimant, and people have a right to stay informed.

Especially as this review could result in every claimant having their PIP award and benefits reassessed under new rules, regardless of how long their current award lasts. That’s a significant shift, and it’s understandable that people want to stay ahead of it.

I appreciate that not everyone may be interested, but it could affect many of our members. This isn’t red top gossip, it’s government issued, and some members may like to read it.
