do people think who have had a 4 pter on assessment, their ok? Some seem to think this, others think it will change to a dubious 2-3 pts
I get standard, all made up of 2 pts

No, I have 3 x 4 pointers and am still terrified and think this whole idea is horrendously unfair

Im guessing you aren’t getting any ESA CB cause you have another income like a private pension?
If that’s the case, that’s different from what this unemployment insurance it’s all about as you’ll lose your entitlement after a time, which isn’t specified yet

apparently celebrities are now speaking out against these cuts too . Report in the guardian.

If these proposed changes do go ahead it's going to cause the DWP some serious issues. The amount of claimants they are going to have to reassess will be unreal. I'm wondering if they have completed the DLA to PIP migration and also the ESA to UC migration or is this still ongoing. I'm hoping for all of us that some of these proposals will be watered down. (Fingers crossed).

Last year, when the Tories proposed to abolish the WCA and make PIP the only assessment, Labour were furious and opposed. And now they want to legislate the same thing that they opposed a few months ago!
Hypocrisy at its finest.
At least the Tories were abolishing reassessment for the current claimants on LCWRA, and were not cutting benefits to anyone.4 -
The government will be issuing us all with armbands and patches for our coats with a disabled symbol soon to identity us as disabled and a lower class of human, which I’m sorry to say I have felt like for a few years now. Attitudes to the disabled in this country are shameful.

but looking at it from another point of view the tories may have said that to inform the public what labour were going to do when in power as they knew they were going to lose hence labour opposing it at the time to get the votes not rocket science

I haven't a clue what to think. I'm so confused about it all.. I'm on esa and pip so I guess got to wait for Nov'26 for when it starts, lots of water to go under bridge till then. I guess.

Also is it only contribution based ESA that is merged with jsa? and will that happen Nov 26 too?
0 -
no, the very very earliest would be April 27

What makes you think that its "very very earliest would be April 27"?
0 -
But is it only contribution based being merged? Just I heard that if on the other esa and pip it's better than not having pip, apologies I'm a tad confused

cause 1st has to become law, all the way from consultation. And it has to be April, cause if the NI contributions.
But it’s probably gonna be at least April 2028 as that’s when WCA is due to be scrapped.
If there are no hiccups on the way obv, like still not all ESA IR have transitioned to UC
