On the daily express they’re reporting a climb down on the WFA next month

She was and she does seem to have her finger on the pulse. Any glimmer of hope is most welcomed. Thank u for posting. Hopefully it's not going to go all the government's way. If these proposals get through Labour are out of government at the next GE. There's another council election next year and they'll be wiped out there as well.

Your joking. Reform are no friend of ours.☹️

Good question, I asked Chatgpt and this is what it said;

✅ Your Current Status:

• You’re on Universal Credit with LCWRA since 2023
• You’re considered an existing claimant
• This gives you transitional protection

🔍 If the New Health Element Is Introduced:

The government has said they will abolish LCWRA and replace it with a “new health element” tied to being on PIP. This means:

Under the New System:

• To get the health element, you would need to be receiving PIP
• The WCA (Work Capability Assessment) would be scrapped eventually
• Instead, PIP eligibility would determine health-related support

🛑 But for You (as an existing claimant):

You should be protected under transitional arrangements, even if:

• You lose PIP
• You don’t meet the new rules under the new system

As long as you:

• Do not have a break in your Universal Credit claim
• Do not report a change in health or circumstances
• Remain on UC with LCWRA continuously

➡️ You should keep your LCWRA component (or be given an equivalent transitional health element) even if you don’t qualify under the new system.

⚠️ What Could Put This At Risk?

• Losing your UC claim entirely and making a new claim later
  → You’d be treated as a new claimant, assessed under new rules
• Reporting an improvement in your health
  → This could trigger a reassessment and loss of transitional protection

Summary:

That’s a good question. Won’t be much will it ? But it’s the 4 point rule we need scrapping . And we need lcwra . They can’t be allowed to take away our right to be classed long term sick and disabled. They need to scrap it all and scrap Atos etc . That’ll save money not paying for constant assessments

Well, we are only speculating about it. You could be right, I could be right or a combination of the two! 🤔

Your probably the one who's nearer to being correct to be honest. People in that position are much more likely not give a damn about us.

She’ll have a nice big house and pay off . We are fighting for survival. If he was my husband I wouldn’t want to be seen with him now .

Thank you so much for this, you have really helped, thank you.

Thank u.
