The Green Paper Discussion (the document link is here too!)

Considering making a voluntary claim for PIP from current indefinite DLA award before November 2026 when the 4 point rule is due to be implemented and new UC “health premium” brought in which would be a massive cut from current LCWRA payments.

I’m guessing if I wait to be “invited” to claim PIP, I would become a new UC claimant and be therefore subject to the PIP 4 point rule and LCWRA cuts.

On the other hand doing so may well flag me to the department and trigger punitive reassessments straight away to prevent my intentions.

This is how conspiracy theories become reality!

To me I see it as if you get a good assessor who doesn’t want to stab you in the back you may be found severe enough so that exempts you from constant assessments. This frees up the assessors to give more frequent assessments to the rest of us even if our conditions don’t change or are likely to. Timms said this morning when asked if they’ll make any more cuts in future, you don’t know what will happen in 5 years . Well will do know the Labour Party will be finished by then but who will replace them that’s the thing .

Yes maybe, but watch the DWP / Gov responding to 3.6m people within 6 months would be fun, 'there is method in that madness'.

'Please, please stop writing to us, o.k. no assessments'.

Morning. I probably will lose my pip. I guess it as good while it lasted. I am not sure. But this is very distressing. They should get the cuts somewhere else.. I assume they are mostly attacking people on pip. And some on UC.. right.. in any case this is really very distressing...

hi yes I heard that said on Noam nyles channel but it just says they’re looking into it . It doesn’t mention the 4 point problem. That’s the thing that needs changing and obviously they’ll fight tooth and nail for that .
