Due To the farcical changes the government (what a joke) see fit to impose on people ,will i be treated as a new claiment.

Situation::: Pip renewal due Sept 2026... i know I'll probably get the forms anything up to a year before,but still i'm confused.

Secondly, yet to migrate from Income related esa (Support group)to Uc. Are those of us still in this position classed as new claiments if we aren't migrated over before any changes.

Oh and did the proposal re Face to face assessments for pip to be reinstated for all by the tories get voted down? Been there done that numerous times for dla (indefinite) but by far pip was horrific.

Thanks in advance.

    I’m in that position too. Income related ESA but not on UC yet. It’s all so stressful and worrying. Can anyone help?

    @somedays I'm guessing we will be seen as existing Claiments. But I can't get proof either way. Its a nightmare, I dread the change over ,plus I'll be doing a pip review too at the same time no doubt. 🥺😳

    That’s what I’ve heard too. I hope that’s the case. I really hope your review goes well. The worry never goes away

    @somedays Three flipping pip reviews, two had to go to tribunal which i won, third i got back via MR. Thank you very much. Let's hope we find out the truth re Esa to UC ,and where we fit in. Take care.

    IR ESA is ending this year, so you will be migrated to UC before any changes come in regarding that.

    @Catherine21 I feel like im choking with anxiety all the time, I'm so dreading the uc changeover, but I think the pip review terrifies me more. My last pip review was via phone .She was a very junior nurse and she was relentless to the point I was left paranoid. I'd never been paranoid in my life. It took me well over a year after to settle a little bit. I got my pip back at the MR stage that time. It feels like a never ending battle. I hope you are ok ? Its definitely not a good thing fighting for everything we need constantly. X

    @Catherine21 You go! Well done for all you do.

    They'll have a wonderful summer Quaffing Champers and Strawberries with cream. I'm trying to survive on an expensive Gluten free diet that I can ill afford, if i get my money taken away I have no idea what I'll do. A tiny GF loaf is almost £3. Plus all my other add ons i buy for my disabilities, and I know I'm far from alone in that. We rise and rise again despite them. X
