    Its a shame we still have people who dont understand how it was going to work.

    So basically the original idea is your original award would be honoured, but come your first review after Autumn 2026, you would have been assessed under the new criteria.

    The change means now all your future reviews (at least until the next set of welfare reforms inevitable after a government change) will be under the criteria that we have now, so no 4 point descriptor requirement.

    I also agree with the earlier posters, dont trust this party leadership at all, especially Reeve and Kendall, the only thing confirmed is that the 4 points change is whats being amended, but there is further PIP descriptor changes planned later to come, I havent read anything yet that says this change will apply to that as well.

    i think with pip, the new 4 point rule will only apply to new claimants after Nov 2027. And Current claimants stay on the same pathway even if their review is after nov 27. Thats my understanding of it anyway.

    If you are waiting to go to tribunal and are successful will this be classed as an ongoing existing claim or a new claim??
