    I apologise for any confusion I may have caused. I prefer to not delete or edit unless the situation really demands it. I also prefer we talk issues out if possible. However, that does have to be weighed against the health of the rest of the community.

    I'm happy to have a discussion with anyone who wants clarifying on this. 

    This is also a good time I think to remind people to be careful with what you post online. Not because of the DWP, but because of any possible entity who may try to use the information against you. This page gives some good information on how to keep your private and personal information safe when online.

    Hi I have a query so I receive pip for my mental health issues as suffer with anxiety and depression had a review recently which I passed but was stated the MA thinks I have high anxiety level and that my symptoms will last next 6 years so awarded until 2030.

    Now I have a opportunity to start work in the retail industry and just wanted to know will my pip get affected or stopped? Or can people with anxiety etc work in the retail industry.

    TIA

    I have read today on disability news that reeves is going to make pip an out of work benefit. How can this be? What if someone's already in work? Or just claims pip and nothing else?

    My concern is thatpossible reforms coulddominate the narrative while a delayed reassessment programme under the last reforms is being scaled up right now!

    In 2023 we were 'scaremongering' ☹️

    That was me as a new member being scolded for trying to warn people about the changes already made to ESA…

    We need to revisit the 2011 amended ESA regulations, the Welfare Reform Act 2012 and the Welfare Reform and WORK Act 2016.

    PDQ!
