I think best time to have a review is in the year preceding the change, as it will be on the old rules. Any existing awards at the change over date will be honoured.
I did see a article from a trash news media claiming there is already a crack down, there isnt, existing applications and reviews are still on the old rules.2 -

That attitude is surely (in the very least) bullying, discrimination, breach of human rights?
UC reviewers are Civil Servants, trained by the book (which they have to work to in order to keep their own jobs).0 -

I imagine if I’m awarded it won’t be for long though . Last time she was knowledgeable of my conditions of which there are no cure. She ticked reassess in 2 years . Dwp actually increased it by 10 months . I’d like to know what criteria they curious for 10 year light touch as I’m in highest with conditions that can’t improve.

problem is their recording equipment can suddenly fail . I asked and dwp also asked for them to record mine over phone . They called me just beforehand to tell me the assessor didn’t have equipment and blamed dwp as they made the appointment which the dwp denied.

Well they can't dispute it then . I was put on topiramate that has helped with the pain my head .never a pain free day but some are more manageable

so you should get your form a good few months before that . You should surely be assessed under the current rules . Plus of course she may not get to implement the 4? Point rule yet

Hope it's ok to say this.
I've noticed a change over the past couple of days - both in how I feel and also on this forum. Like many, I'm not embarrassed to admit I've been physically ill following the announcements and the worry of what might come.
Anger's not a good thing but it's needed sometimes to feel strong.
These reforms are not Law yet and there's a lot of strength going around now, including coming from my chair as I write this 😀0 -
That was clear

Normally your review will start before end date, so hopefully it does for you, but they do currently have a back log which makes it less certain. I think it only needs to start before the cross over date, if I am right once review is started it will use the same rules all the way to the decision.
Also my review date was about a month before I actually received a letter, review form arrived late May, but my review apparently started in April.0 -
in my opinion/understanding

Benefits & Work Forum have put up 'the new proposed PIP test'. It's under their 'news section'.

it's worth considering getting your own version. Not just for DWP but useful for a lot of stuff esp if you struggle with memory issues

next time I’ll be buying a dictaphone. Last time I was told it should be a short assessment or light touch . It was the short review form so wasn’t expecting the Spanish Inquisition I received. Over 2 hours long for conditions that can’t be cured or improve for me after so many years . She kept saying I need to asked everything so they don’t call you back , when I hear of others get a quick call .

O thanks , fingers crossed then

At the start of my Assessment, the Assessor said 'My name is XXXXXX XXXXXX, I'm calling from the Department of Works and Pensions. When the Assessors are trained, they are trained on all the stuff they shouldn't do, but on how they should do it. The Assessor had 'zero empathy' was like a 'robot', was about to laugh at one point, but stopped himself. Lets say he left the Assessment company.
