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

We are entitled to all test results. Subject Access Requests. Strangely they advise it could take 28 days to provide these and there might be a charge 🤔

I have photos of my spinal surgery.

Why are these things so restricted when they are about us?… hmmm

Anyone's whoa clued up is there any hope can this be legally challenged

There is never a charge for test results and personal data

That doesn't say for the support group on indefinite awards

@MB8 very interesting I just assumed they were the same since I got over payment letters when it was their fault, but they were quoting some UC legislation meaning you have to pay it back even if its not your fault. I've been on mine since around 2020 ish, I'm in. Northern Ireland and I know the reforms took longer to pass here. I assume if my contribution based esa was "new style" my award notifications would have labelled it as such..

WeWell must of hated his family then

My partner gets daily living and mobility on Pip. If she loses daily living next year and keeps mobility (enhanced) I as her full time carer will lose Carers allowance.? If so it's a disgrace.

I believe the other ESA, income based is being transitioned to Universal Credit, don’t know much about it. Maybe some one else can help regarding that.

Do you have 4pts for daily living in total?

Oh dear, what a shame their recording equipment suddenly didn't work… 🤔

My advice from all my understanding so far is do NOTHING! you are currently receiving your pip award. The changes haven't not yet been enacted. That has to happen .and then it does not apply till nov 2026. Like you, I also have light touch review after my 10 years in 2030 but my award is considered ongoing probably like yours. They had said existing claimants will not be reviewed for new pip criteria until when next due for assessment so so nothing until that time of course. Given the likelihood you have a progressively worsening condition like me, no doubt by your light touch review which is done on paper , you can inform them of worsening need for daily care. This may then prompt a f2f review and you should hopefully be scores higher for daily living but that is a long way off 3 years still. I lot could still change by then..don't worry for now is my advice. Concentrate on the category that you can becauase they probably underscored you on and explain your needs. I am sure you can also appeal if necessary. Government did also say they wish to eliminate reassessment for most severe of conditions so maybe we will find that they don't even bother with light touch reviews and perhaps you'll just stay as you are. The whole thing is just ridiculous frankly. What they think they will save on paying benefits they will lose out in time and money on even more appeals.
