From what I can see, most post's disagree with the reforms. My question is, how would you reform this sickness and benefit issue? Is it bloated? Is the bill getting too much and where.

Currently I am in receipt of UC with LCWRA and PIP at the standard rate, all this is so stressful I’m being reviewed for PIP my forms had to be returned in August last year and am still waiting for the assessment

I think money could be saved by going back to a DLA type of paper assessment. Saving money on assessments. Conditions that the nhs state are lifelong should be exempt from further assessment, again saving money . The problem isn’t us it’s the system. They can’t take money from a million people cos a few may be fraudulent when there’s less than 1% fraud in pip

with the BBC sharing things like this no wonder the public are misinformed. The most biased news channel I have ever seen. Such a non story if he doesn’t need it why claim it?

Hopefully it’ll be paper based as I’ve heard of more of them . My pip forms on its way to me 😩. I don’t know if it’s the 89 page version or the short one

I for one think they should return to much simpler system of DLA, it was fairer.

Richard Tice's comments on disabled people this morning was an absolute disgrace, he blames the countries problems on disabled people.

I get the feeling whatever happens With the vote we will all still be persecuted. Watching politics live, don’t know who the 4 politicians were but the Labour lady and the host seemed to agree that pip should only be paid to people in work and it encourages economic inactivity. I just can’t get my head around how stupid these people are.

I have requested paper based when I sent my form in.
I got the usual text in April and I haven't heard from them since.

I don't think mine was long.
I didn't have enough room to explain how my disabilities affect me so I sent in eight typed up pages and my carer statement.

I hope it’s a short form , I’ve read people saying it’s been set to fail us . I’m hoping to get as much information as I can to see if I can have it paper based .
Yes I looked up that mp and didn’t see anything about him voting for either . I really wish Tory’s would start adding their name and god if reform did which they definitely won’t . Starmer would be stuffed0 -
Is the short form gd or bad? I had put loads of info down and had two medical experts write letters and even had one help me fill it out... so nervous 😓

I don’t know about good or bad really . Last time my form said you can just put no change but I think it was advised to fill it out as you would normally. I don’t know there’s any way to predict as it’s to do with case managers and assessors if you need one . The worst part is over so fingers crossed you’ll be fine 🤞

Still much confusion for those over retirement age and in receipt of PIP.
I have raised my concerns with my MP Helen Morgan who has in turn raised them with
Minister of State for Social Security and Disability
He has responded with this, I am still not clear as to what he has to say, especially under the the new 4 point rule. Can anyone decipher this for me please as I only have 3 points in one category not the 4 that is to be required.
"At the heart of our reforms is a mission to give people a better life, by protecting people who need it and helping people into work where they can, particularly disabled people who deserve equal choices and chances. Our reforms intend, first and foremost, to protect the most vulnerable. We are ensuring they are protected now, by maintaining their incomes and investing in the NHS and social care, and protected in the future, by putting our social security system onto a sustainable footing to enable it to endure for the long term. In keeping with existing policy, people of State Pension age are not routinely fully reviewed and will not be directly affected by these changes. For everyone else, none of these changes are happening overnight. Infact, they will not happen until people have a reassessment from November 2026, so anyone reaching State Pension age before then will be protected."

I hope the rebels are not swayed by Starmer and Co. This is no time for minor, poorly thought out concessions. It has to be back to the drawing board and common decency.
