If they can pass PIP as a money bill, what about the lcw/ra can they abolish this as easy?

they aren’t part of National Insurance Fund, so as far as what I’ve read, yes.
Do they mention anything about this in the questions in the green paper consultation?

What does this mean

I meant the green paper that's already out. It runs for 12 weeks, so they are probably waiting for the conclusion to that before they speak out

my understanding is that certain benefits, like winter payment, housing benefit, uc health element they are not part of the National insurance Fund. So government can potentially change those as a money bill. Which hastens the process by a lot I think.
Again this is my understanding for what I’ve read in gov website and what people have been posting.
If there are other avenues to challenge those, I don’t know.
I know that some pensioners have taken the government to court regarding the winter fuel payment. But I don’t have the ins and outs of that bill, process etc

Quite often in recent times, HMG have tried to pass off legislation as a money matter, sometimes rather dubiously disguised as such. The HofC has primacy over HofL, and will get their way eventually, sometimes after going back and forth, unofficially known as "parliamentary ping pong"
All this kind of stuff gets explained on the BBC Parliament Channel.

Look up "Parliament Act 1911" on Wikipedia. Is quite interesting.
Someone with a politics degree told us about it at a night class at college.

I am and if the block grant is cut, Holyrood will have to make cuts at some point, possibly.

The Tories will vote with Labour to pass the changes regardless of the size of the Labour rebellion but a Labour rebellion will be damaging to Starmer and Reeves' plans.
