@neil12345 on your award letter it should tell you how long your award is for mate.

I've just filled in my response to the Green Paper. I found it very therapeutic filling it in. I didn't hold back.๐ค

It won't make things worse for you. The pip changes have to go through parliament and that won't be a quick process.

What is perverse is that Starmer's mother had an incapacitating disease, Still's disease to my knowledge. You would think such an experience will make you more sympathetic or empathetic towards disabled people. A part of me isn't surprised at Starmer, he's a cold, callous and calculated Man, I've seen invertebrates with more spine than him.
My mother said if a Labour, a Tory or a Reform candidate knocks on this door she will give them a piece of her mind. Sometimes things need to be said.

They could start anytime now. They will assess people who likely to have a change of award first.

Is it a sticky plaster though. I would probably get a series of 2 points on a 2 year award. Then lose it on review. The last time I applied I had been out of a psychiatric unit less than a year. I was really mentally poorly. I got zero points and did not have the strength to fight it. I think though I do have energy to fight it now. Out of anger as well!

I was under scored in my pip assessment never getting more than 2 in some categories but still got enhanced. My award ends in November 2027; itโs guaranteed that my review will happen in November 2026 or later just as the new proposals are said to be introduced. I donโt know what to do should I ask for mandatory reconsideration if no activity gets 4.

It was more that I've always had bad thoughts of it triggering a reassessment for LCWRA and then deciding to take everything away even though if anything I've worsened since I was given LCWRA. Might just be heavy anxiety over it all that's making me paranoid

Brilliant points Jen. I mentioned some of the points that you stated in my response to the Green Paper. I love reading your posts. They keep me grounded.๐๏ธ

I am in similar situation, with severe anxiety disorder and cant go shopping or use public transportation, I can go out but can't have social interactions and they scored me 0 on this daily on pip

It shouldn't but a few years back I received a PIP and LCWRA assessments forms within 2 weeks of each other. It felt to me to be on purpose. That said I am very anxious and paranoid person as well.

Applying for pip won't trigger an LCWRA reassessment. Pip and lcwra have always been separate. Though wont be with the new changes if they do actually get through parliament.

I keep saying I will do it tomorrow but think I should just bite the bullet. So many people losing out on money scared of the stress of it and will it cause a LCWRA review. I didn't fight them last time they zeroed me. If I do do it I will take them all the way to tribunal this time.
This is the biggest way we can protest against them as disabled people who would struggle to protest in Westminster. Is to flood their PIP system. It will also delay current people with awards to be reassessed.

Yes,so it helps when you see you're not the only one who thinks along those lines :-)

Have they actually confirmed its "working age" all these reforms will impact?
because doing a search the PIP reforms seem to be missing any mention of OAP's not being affected, Its just PIP the system.

That's crazy, so some people get told how long they'll have LCWRA for?
On my letter back in 2019 it doesn't say how long my award is for or when I'll next have a reassessment, it just says 'We may ask you to attend another work capability assessment in the future'.

If they turn you down they wont take LCWRA from you. While I've been on LCWRA I applied for PIP, I was unsuccessful but kept my LCWRA.
