I think we need to protest against the cuts in benefits, not propose ways to redistribute the measly remains.

I agree and I never thought I’d say it but just leave pip the way it is . They obviously aren’t going to change it for the better for us so leave it. I was just wondering if the maths add up . If most people on standard lose pip plus 13% on enhanced how much much is that over a year . Then of course lcwra and carers . Have the put the figure of £3.5-£5 billion out there when really it’ll be higher

So the government intends to update the UK submarine fleet.
Cost of 12 attack submarines approx £60billion over next 25 years (probably over £100billion by 2050)– puts PIP savings of less than £5billion into perspective.

And we all just guessing and using facts and figures that can’t be verified as that’s the way labour wants it. Remember starmer saying he’s starting a new government with transparency. What a joke

No one can say but you won't be reviewed until your awards up so they say

Morning juls ,
Yes the brain fog , fatigue and pain hit at once I’m afraid but I was determined to work out what they meant by not needing a 4? Point if you score a higher score. I suddenly get obsessive even when my brain isn’t functioning 😂
What I meant to say ( I think 🙄😂) was on another site it was mentioned that the government said if they allow a claim of pip for those with a high score overall without the 4 it amounts to 200,00 extra people claiming. There are currently 209,00 on enhanced without a 4 . So it seems logical it allows anyone on enhanced to continue getting pip . So they’re really imo focusing on standard which is what they’ve always wanted. No more standard is their goal imo . Obviously it’s all my opinion and the figures are perhaps incorrect. I don’t even know if I’m making any more sense tbh 😂

Morning all.
I have enhanced on both but with no 4 point score.
I am currently being reassessed so I will see what eventually happens.
I'm not expecting to hear from them anytime soon due to the backlogs which to me is a good thing obviously because I continue being paid.
I try to be optimistic but realistically we are most probably on a losing battle with this cold hearted clueless government.

Say in one and then say another

I’m also enhanced on both with no 4 . My awards up next Feb but I’ve not had a review form yet . I’m not sure if I should leave it or call them . I think we should go for the 4 regardless now just to be safe . Good luck with yours 🤞

I read on another site a post from someone who emailed her mp . The mp replied that only 10% ( still too high) would lose pip . That’s the figures they’ve been told and I saw an article in The I newspaper saying the same thing . But this mp seemed to believe it or insisted it was true anyway.

Seems like she’s changed her mind . Wasn’t that letter sent weeks ago? I wonder how many others have seen the light since

You are amazing Catherine, you’re always emailing non stop. And you get results too . I never get a reply , but they know better than to ignore you 😀

The logical chain is simple - attack submarines need warheads - they need to be designed and manufactured - won't this happen at the expense of reducing costs for disabled people?

Wow either she’s realised how bad it will actually be for us or how bad it will be for her . Either way how many others are changing their minds ?

Not if they employ us to design and manufacture the subs. Anybody have a blueprint?
