It’s in the post you shared Bella . I also have 13 points for living though no 4? Points and it’s for two years increased to three by dwp .

I think we can safely say that they are not 😅 this will be a chaotic disaster and they are sleepwalking into it

@secretsquirrel1 do you just get pip for living, no mobility?
Think I read somewhere (I might be wrong) that if you receive enhanced for both on review then it's changed to ongoing award with a light touch review. I was first awarded for 4 years and about a year before that was due to end I was told they had looked at it again and it was changed to an ongoing award and wouldn't be looked at again til after oct 2029. I'm 52

Where does the Bill state this?
"The bill will cut personal independence payments (Pips) for more than 800,000 people with disabilities, as well as carers’ support for 150,000 people who care for them. Claimants only able to wash half of their body or who are unable to cook a meal for themselves will no longer be able to claim Pips unless they have another limiting condition."
A person unable to prepare and cook a simple one course meal from fresh ingredients meets the 8- point descriptor.

Hi Bella , I get enhanced for both. I originally had standard care and enhanced mobility after fighting two years to upper tribunal. Then my last assessor lower mobility to standard and increased my care to enhanced . I was advised badly as I went MR for mobility and said to my advisor I want to ask for a longer award as assessor gave 2,years but dwp awarded 3. My advisor said no , wait to see what they say first . Advisor failed to send my new information in so they failed my MR. I called them and asked about tribunal and they said they’d just received the information I had sent so they sent it back to my case manager who immediately reinstated my enhanced. Had I asked for longer I may of got it . So when you had enhanced for both they originally gave you a short award time then increased it ? Did they say why if you don’t mind me asking . There seems to be a mystery around 10 year awards as I’ve also heard that enhanced both should get them

According to what Bella posted they’ve said conditions such as heart disease and spinal injuries which is random. She also mentioned enhanced for both getting light touch awards . I have enhanced but only after MR for mobility. If you add MS, ME, fibromyalgia MD autism etc etc that’s nearer a million than 200, 00

No today wasn’t a vote so nothing new

I get enhanced rates for both components. My award letter uses the word "ongoing", which they consider synonymous with 10 years.

Oh wow good for you ❤️. What a relief that must of been. Can I ask had you filled out a review form before you received that ? I ask as my awards up next Feb and I haven’t received a form yet . Was this recent or years ago . Right now I don’t know what they’re doing. I do think I should have I even gotten longer with ME and fibromyalgia plus other conditions as they can’t be cured . I even should have gotten a 4point but got a 2 instead . Thank you so much for sharing that , it gives me hope 🙏

I fear "The Guardian" is scaremongering, which is understandable today. The PIP descripters and a claimant's ability to perform an activity safely, reliably, in a timely fashion, and so forth has not changed and there is no mention of change in the text of the Bill.

Is it normal to have enhanced for both but just a short award ? I got my enhanced mobility back at MR. I should of asked for longer then but badly advised
