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

My name is Luke I am diagnosed with autism and one aspect of my condition is the fact that I ruminate and worry I used to receive a lifetime/indefinite DLA award when migration to PIP took place I was initially awarded zero points and had to attend a tribunal which awarded me daily living enhanced rate and mobility standard rate for an ongoing period the award letter said it was not appropriate to set a fixed term in this case as my condition is unlikely to change. The Green Paper does mention that ongoing awards are not going to be abolished but I am still anxious as I have read posts on here suggesting that when the new descriptors come in there is a possibility that they will want to reassess everyone including ongoing awards can anyone let me know what you think will happen just to put my mind at rest I do have 4 points btw on social communication but do you think it will be a violation of the Equality Act to remove the daily living component from me if they said my condition is not likely to change in the award letter? Just asking if anyone has an idea of what will happen with ongoing awards as there does not seem to be much info online or in the press about this I did feel better after reading the green paper yesterday mentioning that ongoing awards are to continue but recently I have been stressed again as I read a post on here last night suggesting that everyone will be reassessed like in the DLA to PIP migration anyway I have demanded a face to face meeting with my MP which I am expecting to get shortly and will put that question to her.

@secretsquirrel1 Eeeugh, perish the thought 🤣🤣🤮

I watched yesterday announcement about benefit changes. But it seems the government is more focused on PIP, but there has been no mention of adults still on DLA and DWP has yet to send a letter to apply for pip.

so where do people like myself who is still on DLA stand in regards to not loosing the LCWRA element of UC?

I’ve been getting high rate for motability and care since 1997 with an indefinite award and the government website advices to not voluntarily apply for pip without a letter if DLA is high rate.

So will I loose LCWRA if DWP fails to ask me to apply for pip?

Thanks 👍 so for people who are on pip currently will they have to be reviewed before they're end date if new pip 4 point system comes in affect before they're end date ..

95% housebound, which makes it pretty crazy to receive a 0 😂

I'm concerned about the whole pip points system. Just rechecked my paper and it's mostly 2s, mostly added between 8-11 points. To say you need at least 4 in at least one? Just .. I mean, what is the point of adding up then?

I'm sure the 'House of Lords will take a look at it as it passes through the other Chamber.

They tend to provide 'Safe Guards'.
