Your story is quite interesting.
However, if they ever decide to discuss this issue with you, never ever mention to them any account, closed or not, other than the one(s) you've stated in your claim. And don't answer unasked questions.
They should better surveil holders of offshore bank accounts.

I wonder if they’ll change the 4 point descriptors so they’re easier to get . They’ve said they’re looking to change the assessments . They could of course make the 4 point harder to get but then there’ll be an even bigger backlash . If they changed the 4? Point questions to make them easier it softens the blow without them backing down .

Citizens Advice: Government’s health and disability benefit reforms mean that some of those affected will still be worse off even if working full timeNew analysis from Citizens Advice of how the incomes of disabled people would change if cuts to PIP and universal credit were introduced today and those affected were able to move into full-time work:
In many cases, people would see only a small increase in income by working full-time, and in some situations, they could actually end up worse off.This also relies on the very unrealistic assumption that people currently considered unable to work can suddenly take on a full-time job. For many, part-time work is a more realistic option than full-time employment. But moving into part-time work is more likely to result in a loss of income, and the financial impact is typically much greater.For example:a single claimant losing PIP daily living and universal credit health would be £114 per month worse off if they worked full-time, and £359 per month worse off if they worked part-time for 20 hours per week.a couple claimant where one partner loses PIP daily living and universal credit health, while the other remains in full-time employment, would only gain £112 a month if the partner that lost their benefits worked full-time. And they would be £272 per month worse off if the partner worked part-time for 20 hours per week.Citizens Advice adds that its findings undermine the government's argument that people will be able to compensate for lost benefits income by taking up paid employment.

"Kendall has suddenly announced a change in the pip assessments/ criteria."
Change in the PIP assessment criteria was part of the proposal of the Tories, which Keir Starmer and his clowns said to have inherited. The Tories clearly said in their Green Paper that in light of merging the WCA and PIP assessments and making them into a single assessment, a new assessment criteria would come up in this respect.
Therefore, Liz Kendall is not announcing anything new; she's is just parroting what the Tories planned.
She's an empty wagon who's making a hell of annoying noise.

I know but I remember her saying it’s sometime in the future. Seems strange to bring in changes all of the sudden. Something I think will change with the 4 point descriptors. Either made harder to get resulting in even less people being eligible or they could make them easier. If they made the 4 point easier they havent climbed down and it may ease the rebellion. If they plan on going ahead and making us all destitute I can’t see the WFA calming the situation down. MPs will still lose their votes from us .

WFP if reinstated will not be for everyone like it was before. Starmer is thinking of increasing the Threshold not said by how much.
It would be done "at a fiscal event" probably Autumn budget but only if affordable in a funded way.

So it doesn’t look like a complete climb down ? Only days ago reeves said definitely no change. I’m really hoping they suddenly do something positive regarding us next . 🤞🙏

Concessions on WFA and 2 Child Cap are maximum impact minimum pain for the government. The general population can get on board with loving nanas and kids and virtue signalling their outrage when those groups are threatened. It's the cute factor, whereas with the disabled, not so much.
I'm very upset and bitterly annoyed to be honest.

True. An empty vessel makes most noise (as my teacher used to tell me 🤣).

If they’re changing the criteria they’re either making it harder to get 4 points or making it easier. If they’re clever they’ll make it easier so if the 4 point descriptors are closer to the 2 point descriptors it’s not a complete climb down and an embarrassment. That’s why they’re raising the threshold for WFA so they climb down to some extent but reeves doesn’t lose face . Please let them do the same for us 🤞🙏

You can't help it if you create scenarios in your head - honestly, I know exactly what it's like and I've always done it!. My mum used to tell me off and say deal with it if and when it happens, but I see it as having a contingency plan. I'm too old to change now! and am already planning what will happen when/if I lose PIP (I don't have any 4s). I will remember your saying though as that's very true for me too. Big hugs :)
