thank you - obviously I don’t want it to be reduced for anyone but it had me worried how I’d afford bills if they suddenly reduced it next month or something 🥹

Yes, the payment adjustment is not until April 2026 as is currently planned in the green paper. Also for existing claimants it will be a freeze instead of a headline reduction.

For those of us on NS ESA support group, it does seem like the new merged benefit will only be applicable to new claimants and that ours will remain as an existing claim, hopefully. I’m not sure on the whole WCA for us though. I don’t know how long my award is for, I only got it last month and no end date was stated in the award letter.

yes lcwra uc is actually higher than what I get now in legacy esa. I was advised years ago not to go over even though it’s quite a bit more . I’m worried as I haven’t received a letter and I don’t know when the final dates up . I don’t want to not get the letter so I go over too late to get the higher amount. If any of that makes sense

Does this mean that I'm only going to have one more reassessment and when this happens it'll be after April 2026?

When it comes to pip review, you simply have to explain if your disabilities have progressed. Then further explain where you feel you should have scored higher

oh wow . Yes that’s what my last assessor did to me . Concreted on questions that only awarded 2 points for that answer even if I should have got 4. Now there will be ppl at tribunal for that 4 points . The assessors are crafty they know as long as you get your award you don’t care about how you get those points .

The freeze means it isnt going down, it will just stay at its existing level, so even if you were to migrate after April 2026, you wont be worse off.
