PIP Changes November 2026.
I copied the following from a website:
“Personal independence payment (PIP) eligibility will be tightened from November 2026. This will affect new applications but also existing claimants when they are reassessed.”
My PIP reassessment is due in May 2027. I have 2 points in five of the Daily Living components and do not have the required forthcoming 4points in one of the components. I have 12 points in the Mobility components.
Just wondered if I will be unaffected by the changes in November 2026 until I am reassessed.
From the above copied information it appears to be the case, but just wanted to find out if it is!
To all who are naturally worried about the November 2026 changes my thoughts are with you.

Hello @brian1971. They're only proposals at the moment so no one could say with any certainty. However, it does seem from their wording that it will impact current claimants when they are re-assessed after the 2026 date.
