    @ashmere I'm sorry but what the flip? They're trying to find legal ways to get people OFF benefits? Despite my best efforts, I can't get a job because I can't work nights or weekends, in fact I've just been rejected by B&Q in Rotherham, probably for that very reason.

    I think you've misunderstood my post. I was just sharing the news that reassessments are due to start from September, not expressing an opinion on it.

    I guess that explains the recent extensions for existing PIP claimants then. They'll need to the capacity to cover DLA to PIP transfers instead.

    In fairness this is not unexpected. It was always intended that everyone on DLA would move to PIP, but it got put on the backburner when the pandemic started.
