I’m not sure what you mean by this? No change to any benefits other than the recent Universal Credit changes announced in regards to the work search groups:

They haven't announced anything official yet @Manudxp - thankfully. 

Ok, thank you

Don’t always trust the media. According to them if you have a condition you’re automatically entitled to disability benefits, lol!
