There's no official date yet. But parliament breaks up for summer late July, so I would expect this to be considered in July, otherwise it'll be left until the autumn.
As long as your PIP review is completed before the changes start, they won't affect your claim at all.

I'm in the esa support group waiting to migrate as I've not had the letter yet telling me to switch over to uc. And if you can't work with pip than they can't force you as long as you have good reason not to work.

The LCWRA changes aren't expected to happen until 2028/29.
At that point, the WCA will be scrapped, and you will only be able to get the Health Element by getting a Daily Living award from PIP.
You will not be expected to work if you claim UC and get a Daily Living PIP award. You will automatically be entitled to the Health Element in that case.
The current payment amount of LCWRA is expected to drop by half next year for new LCWRA claimants. But I do not expect that to effect migrations from ESA Support group. Transitional Protection will still be applied to those as far as I'm aware.

Hi has anyone had a pip letter that's telling them their award end date. For example I was told last week after ringing pip they said my review will be November 2025 and my pip.letter states November 2026 so which is correct. I.am.so very confused and get very anxious about it all.
I also had a letter saying about the pip.law the change is about how they consider the social.support someone needs to mix with other people face to face. It states the change could affect anyone needing the social support from.a trained person etc. It said they can now consider any social support we may of needed to mix with people face to face. Now it says I do not need to do anything unless I think my pip.claim.will be affected. I scored 4 points for that. So what do I do now. I'm.so confused will this affect my claim when law changes or what. Please someone advice I would be ever so grateful.

PIP reviews are taking around a year to complete. So they start the process well in advance of your award end date.
Re social support DWP lost a court case, so they are looking again at any claim which could qualify for more points under the terms of the court judgment.

Hello all, just wondering if anyone have had their pip reviews. Mine have Usually been extended but I know I'm due this November but was told it could be months after that.

Hi @Bostankhan22 if you were awarded 4 points on individual categories it looks like you are already meeting the new proposed PIP criteria which I would imagine puts you in a very strong position for your review☺️

Oh ok I wasn't sure as I score a total of 17 points for daily living and 14 points for the mobility.

Hi I need abit of advice as I reviewed the migration letter yesterday and have til 27th August 2025 as the deadline. Now in July I get three lots of esa payments, now can I wait til.the end of July to migrate over or do it sooner as I don't want to miss out on my esa payments. Than I'm thinking if you delay till July will my housing benefit stop and esa payments...so confused. Also when I do migrate I'm on esa in the support group..Will I need to attend the job centre or can I send my identification via online like a passport. Please someone advise.
Thankyou

When you apply for UC, ESA and Housing Benefit stop apart from one final payment (known as the run on payment).
Usual forum advice is to claim UC the day after an ESA payment, this helps to ensure the run on ESA payment is for the full amount.
Let your landlord know you are migrating, by the time your first UC payment comes through with Housing Element there will be 3 weeks arrears on the rent account and this will keep happening.
Occasionally a landlord is happy with that. Usually your options are to pay those weeks yourself week by week, or set up a payment plan to pay a little extra off each week until the arrears are cleared. Then each UC payment will put your account 4 weeks into credit.
You could also apply for a Discretionary Housing Payment if it would cause you financial hardship.
There are online id verification options. If that fails you can ask for a biographical id check, this is a phone call where you are asked questions about your personal details that only you know. If that isn't possible, then you would need to attend the Job Centre in person.

Hi all. I need some advice as I'm pip on hight rate for mental health. Now I had a gp appointment this morning regarding reducing my quitepine however still on flouting. It has not happened yet it will be in the next prescription and after 3 weeks I go back to gp and it will be reduced even more til it eventually stops. Now nothing has changed in my physical or mental health its exactly the same. I have a review of pip I'm waiting for the forms. Now will this affect my pip with the reduced medication and do I need to inform them even if nothing changed. Please advise. And also are pip still having backlogs as mine have been extended past two times. Thankyou

Hello can anyone tell me if my medication called quitepine is being reduced slowly than eventually stopped. Nothing I my health has changed and will continue to take flouxitine. I'm on pip for mental health hight rate. Now will this affect my award or pip even if nothing has changed. I'm waiting for my review forms as I'm due a review. And do I need to tell dwp pip that this is the case when they actually reduce it. And also do pip have backlogs for reviews as mine past two times has been extended without a review. Please advise. Thankyou
