It is political suicide, this won't go through in my opinion .

This is a planned 'CULLING' of the sick, vulnerable and disabled.
The more of us they can 'cull', the more money they will save.

If you get PIP again before next April , you should be okay and if you are 62 now you should be nearing pension age , so it would be okay for you . I am 61 this year and if i get PIP again and award for 3 years it will take me to 2029, and then I retire 2 years after that. I think this is all just evil and they will not get it through . Where are the jobs going to come from ? where will they re-house disabled and pensioners ? I really think this is Labour making themselves unfit to govern .

No choice but to laugh at them.

This is correct
Unless there is a change of circumstances (CoC) in which case changes do apply.

Absolutely - where is this all going to come from.
If you're 61, and IF you get awarded again.. that's the problem isn't it.1 -
Any news on new style ESA support group?
The merger of JSA and ESA?
The end of the indefinite award?

They're just reading from a script , told what to say to get people riled up . But there is a bigger picture here . They are globalists .

yes and the thing is most working people aren’t for this either and are more concerned about money spent on the immigrant and border issues going on, Labour literally have no supporters of this other than themselves and even many of their own aren’t with this either.
I honestly don’t know who these plans or what real powers thought of these ideas because this isn’t a Labour move, it’s all just very confusing and I pray that this doesn’t get the go ahead.

Some people with mental ill health cannot meet with a work coach as mental ill health can be so debilitating, sufferers cannot meet with anyone. Those who qualify for that descriptor on PIP. Mental ill health can be a very serious illness and it can kill, instantly! People forget that.

My review is this year , I have profound hearing loss and another condition , both incurable , the 2 hearing aids should get me 2 points which will get me the enhanced daily living and I get enhanced mobility, my award runs out next April and if awarded another 3 years will take me to age 65 , will have to find money from somewhere to keep the house , but I don't really think these cuts can get through . It is a direct attack on disabled people .

Just saw on tv a crackdown on mobility cars as they are misused

I'm entitled to one , but cannot afford it as mortgage too high . Typical worked a business for 30 years until I got cancer , finally felt secure and then this . Oh well we have a 2002 Toyota which serves us well , has passed all but one MOT and she keeps on going . I just take ages getting in and out as I have joint issues and nerve damage from cancer surgery .
