do you mean in regards to the 4 point rule but they knew in 2016 ?

I don't know anything about PIP or when this rule was thought up. I've not researched PIP but since the plan is to merge working-age benefits then the 2016 cuts and changes to the WCA need to be factored in. PIP proposals in 2015 didn't go ahead but DWP has had 10 years to refine a new plan!

SSAC reports and W&P committee minutes describe welfare reforms past and present.

Labour is proceeding as though nothing much happened back then when it did.

She is poison! She was Chief Whip when the 2015 cuts were on the menu. She appears to have double-crossed Jeremy Corbyn then threatened to resign at the start of Labour's administration.

I don't know what hold she has over Keir Starmer or indeed the Labour Party.

The public has lapped up the anti-Starmer narrative like they did the anti-EU narrative.

😖

Amaya_Ringo, "I wonder if that 'warning' about claimants (ie the implication we are all waiting to defraud the government) is actually to obfuscate the very real possibility the DWP will instruct to award fewer points in categories where claimants previously obtained 4."

I will try to find again what I read so I can date this. I think it was WCA related rather than PIP. The implication that claimants are faking anything is grotesque considering the number of sick and disabled claimants who were weeded out the last time leaving only "the most severely disabled" with support.

Now the LCWRA group is to be reassessed under the 2016 WCA 'reforms' leaving only the most severely disabled with support ???

😣

There may be a newbie committee member who doesn't know the history of welfare reform but I've not looked.
