I don't believe that there's been any further news regarding this as yet.allan1971 said:just inquiring has any one heard about the timescale for when those who lost the severe disability premium when having to move on to universal credit because of change of circumstance when they will be paying back the money lost

This makes me so mad, why should people suffer from benefit changes? Is this not discrimination? I keep my nose out of the media, but tell me why is the govt getting away with this discrimination in disability benefits. There’s no excuse for delaying sdp if you already get it or are awarded it. Just my opinion. Where’s all the disability rights groups fighting against this? Please signpost me!

allan1971,
No date yet, but the consultation runs until 20th August and I think the DWP will then need to change the draft regulations, so I wouldn't expect to see anything until October - and even then the DWP will have to identify people who have lost out which may take time.
Please do contact your MP about this and explain how you've lost out and the distress caused by the delay.
debbiedo49 - loads of organisations are pressing the government to act and to act more quickly. Eg CPAG is still pressing ahead with a test case because the compensation as announced so far isn't good enough.
Anyone who wants to can also respond to the consultation - the more claimants who respond the better!
