So what do you suggest now we have three weeks ??

I have read from several sources recently published that those in the lcwra group will not be reassessed, only in exceptional circumstances such as reports to changes in health, investigating fraud, etc
I'm in a state of confusion over this, as whilst I've read the above from several sources, it seems that some people don't think this to be correct?
Please could you let me know your thoughts on this and why you think that? I ask to try to get clarity.
And also, please could you let me know in your opinion, as i know this can only be answered through personal opinion, if someone has previously scored 4 points in one of the daily living criteria of PIP and their circumstances have not changed, in your opinion do you think they'd get the 4 points again upon reassessment?

This article for example states what I've been reading from several sources, that lcwra claimants will not be reassessed.
Am I missing something or misinterpreting this?
I'd appreciate your thoughts and insights.

Those are proposals.. Nothing changes in 3 weeks' time.
I suggest finding out what really happened in 2016 and why it all went quiet!

I understand your concerns about the 2012 cuts, but Iโm struggling to see how focusing on past issues helps us address the challenges ahead. Many members qualified for their current level of support under the 2016 criteria, and most seem content with what they receive.
However, from 2026, the system will undergo significant changes. Thousands who qualified under the 2016 rules will no longer be eligible, the LCWRA route will be eliminated, and stricter PIP criteria will leave many without support. How does dwelling on past cuts help us navigate these imminent challenges?

anon, I can't date your article but bear in mind that this mention of "Amending the LCWRA Substantial Risk regulation" has already happened. I can only think this is here to confuse people.

Where do people think that 'experts' like B&W get their information from?
anon, I don't know anything about PIP only that the greatest risk is to working-age claimants being migrated to UC under the 2016 reforms. They should not have been passed. Nor the 2012 reforms. Parliament was lied to and we are still being lied to about why further changes are needed to fix the 'broken' benefits system. The one they broke!
The bereaved families have been lied to for too long. I think they deserve to know the facts about welfare reform.

My thoughts exactly

If your circumstances have not changed and you scored 4 points then you would appeal if they scored down this time in my opinion .

I do wonder if Starmer/Reeves are deliberately trying to tank Labour? They have lost the plot with their "plans".
