My forms on the way to me , don’t know if it’s 89 pages or short one . Don’t know why everything keeps changing

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 stuffed

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 🤞

As a % of GDP, the UK government is spending the same amount on working-age benefits as it was in 2015. This stands at around 5% and is not projected to change by 2030. This is because we have seen deep cuts to benefits like Universal Credit alongside the increase in people claiming health and disability benefits.

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."

Numbers rise on the tabled ammendment:

133 Labour MPs. More from other parties.

So still rising? It would be odd for the Speaker not to select the ammendment.
