Hi and welcome to the community
What you have heard is pure speculation and media hype
The last I heard on news last night is that benefits will be increased in April at rate of 10% and same increase in nmw
Nobody knows till it is announced on Thursday
I would try and think 8f other things and put it out of your mind0 -
The SoS has confirmed there are no plans to means test PIP or DLA.

GHi,You should ignore the media hype; they work under what is know as "sensationalistic journalism". Or, as I call it, why let the truth get in the way of a good story.
