I understand mrsBB, I was taken in big time. I will be more careful 😊

could be that it has to be implemented for someone to then take it to court ? I’m sure pip was brought in then challenged over time . Surely we are protected by the equality act and the echr

Hello @secretsquirrel1. We're not allowed to give or share legal advice because we are unfortunately not legal expects. It's important to note that both Benefits and Work and Leigh Day are both highly experienced and recognised in this field.
I agree, the statement from Benefits and Work is worrying and on a personal level I share the same concerns as all of you. I found reading their whole article on it a little more reassuring than the mailshot email received and am sharing it below in hope it may bring you some comfort too.
Benefits and Work: No legal 'silver bullet' to stop PIP proposals

please as we need some positive feedback regarding this , or at least an explanation as to why the equality act and echr cannot help us .

it’s unbelievable to hear they can legally do this where the Tory’s couldn’t. People on the lower care award and some ( including myself) on the higher will no longer be classed as disabled. I’m bedbound 95% of the time but according to the government no longer disabled. I really hope back benchers oust starmer as they must know they’ll never get in again.

It's good your doing your pip now so you don't have 4 point rule your be absolutely fine sounds alot of evidence last year I got my review form June July can't remember 2024 my pip ending March 2025 I got pip two weeks before my award ended paper based all for mental health so you sending all that proof is good easy not to worry but this is really good time to do review I feel for people in 2026 you got this 👍

Thank you Charlie for sharing the link as there was a lot more Benefits and Work did include in the full writeup. I think it was important for them to get the main points out in a succinct way and as quickly as possible given how fast this whole matter is moving. I agree though, that as hard as it is to see right now, there might be some light at the end of the tunnel. I am just so concerned right now I cannot see the light yet 😊

hi Catherine,
Thank you for that . This is what I thought . If it’s shown to discriminate against us the courts can intervene or have I read that wrong? The fact that they haven’t even had a proper consultation or waited for the OBR assessment must be against our rights .
0 -
the consultation isn’t fully open to us though . Only certain questions. Similar to the Tory paper which they lost in court
2 -
They’ve waited 14 years and with starmer their jobs are finished. They must be thinking that . It’s the fact they’re rushing this through before a proper assessment of how many people will be affected and only part of the consultation being open to us against our rights ?

I hope this finishes him . He really is the worst PM we’ve had .

I posted this yesterday Charlie.

I’ve emailed Jeremy Corbyn again to ask about the legality of all this . I noticed a demonstration outside my town hall last week against Emily Thornberry who seems to be for the cuts. A shame as she’s helped me in the past

Who ever thought I would be happy that I don't get additional pip money 🤦
I'm on cbesa and lcwra so I should be reassessed through the normal wca until it's abolishment in 2028 as it's only new and existing claimants of pip that are affected after November 2026
.... And I'm actually happy about that , that's how bad things are 🥺
I know when the the wca and lcwra get abolished in 2028 and then the new pip criteria takes over for the rest of us I'll probably loose everything .... Suppose I'll just have to deal with it then ....
I still can't get my head round that they are actually going to get away with this .... I'm struggling so bad , finding it very hard to find reasons to go on if I'm honest
