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

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.

Also is it only contribution based ESA that is merged with jsa? and will that happen Nov 26 too?

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

Yes this is correct x

what are the chances of them honouring everyone who’s on it now with lifetime esa contribution based support group until change of circumstances

But they were going to remove cash payments altogether and use vouchers instead.
The Tories and Labour are as bad as each other, when it comes to the treatment of disabled people. It's also hypocritical of the Tories to call out Labour by saying that their proposals will put disabled people in poverty,when removing cash payments would've done that as well.

I think so to,
The government just haven't thought this through and with failing to do impact assessment which will end up going to court
