It looks like the government is doing what they did in Russia and partly in Ukraine - for years they haven't raised benefits for the disabled, but now they are recruiting volunteers for the war, paying 10 times more than the average salary. At the same time, they have greatly reduced the health requirements for soldiers.
Double benefit for governments!0 -
Unfortunately no, I am not a lawyer. But I clearly see that for the government now the disabled are just annoying unnecessary expenses that do not bring profit to the rich.

"Mixing with other people" is my 4 points. Supporting evidence was primarily from GP.
TP is transitional protection, it is a sort of grand fathering process to compensate people for financial losses on changes to benefits. Usually its used to compensate for payment reductions, not for entire loss of eligibility, so I dont know how they would handle the TP specifically for PIP as I assume it would be time limited in some way.2 -
Try to keep your head up. I'm new here but I feel better than I did yesterday when I was having some very dark thoughts. I'm hopeful this site will really help me feel a lot less lonely and catastrophizing everything.
None of us are sure of our position yet because the full details haven't been fleshed out, and it's all subject to change anyway as its scrutinized in both houses by MPs/Lords.
We're all full of fear, uncertainty and doubt.

I was thinking maybe once it is combined so it's only PIP that we can apply for, maybe changes will be made to it and it wont be as difficult to be awarded it.

I'm definitely not joining the LK fan club, but she did at least get rid of the Tories desired voucher scheme that she said she was always against. But yes, some of LK's harsh language and rhetoric to appeal to voters has been appalling for the mental health of many, many of us.

@Catherine21 substantial risk I expect to be included in the reassessment plans. But please remember its my interpretation of the green paper, and there is always a chance they will back out of the reassessments. They did state they will be looking at the reasons, prognosis etc. and given the capacity issues I wouldnt be surprised if some people dont get reassessed again.

I haven't been able to keep up with both threads but read most of the now closed one. I just wanted to say my heart goes out to everyone who is suffering real anxiety and proper "fear" over this. Its great that we have this forum though. What a response and a big thankyou to all the clever people who are contributing and staying abreast of it all and providing valuable information to us all.
I do get PIP but I think I am ok for now at least but only just. I have just one score that hits the now magic "4" so I think (if I have this right) for now at least I should be ok. Just a swish of a pen though next time to not be.
