My GP surgery appears to have lost all historical data (which I could previously view on NHS online). They say they haven't lost it but it's just that I can't view it.
So I've asked for a SAR. They said I have to present to the surgery myself with photo id (understandable) but if I don't do it within 28 days they will charge me £10.0 -
@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..

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.

Hi, wonder if you can reply or know please? I am on 'light touch' with the end to my 'term' of ten years in 2028. I failed to get a 4 in one of my daily descriptors but am on the PIP enhanced rate as scored 3 on most of them. What I wanted to know is, should I tell them my health has declined further now, or should I wait for my review? I am one of the pensionable aged who got moved from DLA to PIP. Thank you.

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?

As far as I know your award will be honoured and then you will have the light touch assessment as normal when it is due. The only thing is, by then the 4 points thing will apply. Someone on here yesterday managed to contact the PIP people and this is what they told them. They said you wont be reassessed until your normal light touch date.

MB8 I'm in the same position as you. I claim CB ESA and was given a 10 year award and put into the support group. All will become clearer in the coming days/weeks regarding this by the government. I'm just waiting to hear on how we'll be affected straight from the horses mouth, so to speak.

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.

Thank you for the helpful reply, it's sensible advice and I will try to forget it all for now, sorry to ask, but am feeling so low today about all of this. Thanks.

in my case they blamed the dwp for booking an assessor who didn’t have equipment. The dwp said they don’t book the appointments . I believe the dwp were telling the truth . Atos were lying yet again

My local MP, who is Labour, wrote to me (unprompted, I hadn't emailed her yet, was planning to today) and she is very much against the Green Paper Reforms. Hope that may be of help? Knowing that even Labour MPs are against this. Gave me a glimmer of hope today so hope it does for others.
