Hi @moonbeam100 and welcome to the community. I'm sorry you're affected by this. The decision to count PIP as income is made by the council themselves. Are you coping financially?

I think the decision was approved by the leader of your local council, not the PM.

@SheffieldMan1976 not all councils count PIP as income so your experience may be different.
