I have been googling like crazy to find out if all 10 year awards are light touch reviews but haven’t really been able to track down an official answer. I’ve been telling myself mine is fixed and will be expecting a full review form so a light touch would be a lovely surprise! If anyone finds out please let me know. I’m not up for phoning them and asking at the moment

Hi, Thanks for posting that. Does it seem to anyone else that this might apply to new claims only? Thanks

You only need one 4. The other 4 point to get a standard award can be made up from 1 and 2 point descriptors. Despite the change, it's still possible to reach 12 points for enhanced DL.

Sorry, should have added that i can't really see how someone who is on CB ESA can have a recent employment record as you can't really work and claim esa at the same time. Hope this makes sense. Just my opinion. Thanks

That's not true - I receive NI credits for being entitled to claim ESA without actually receiving the ESA payments !

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).

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.
