Me and you are in the same boat as i get cbesa and lcwra but no pip , I can't remember exactly what you get but if I remember correctly it's that sort of situation .... I don't think any thing will change for us until the WCA abolishment in mid 2028 ..... We may not even get reassessed before then .... I'm 4 years overdue but I still think there's a chance existing claimants won't be reasessesd until the WCA has been abolished ..... There's little stirrings again , especially from the telegraph and there personal attack on the disabled .... I think garage will get in personally ..... Who ever comes in were screwed really 🤷 .... Until that time I'm aware that I could get a UC review , the bank checks are starting in april 2026 and also I'm.aware of a reasessment that could be at any time all the way up till mid 2028 🤦.... If I get through all that then I'll worry about us having to take the pip test just to keep what we get now .... Ive worried so much I made myself a mess over everything ..... Can't take it everyday , just need to roll with it , only choice we have 😩

Re: passerby post,
Have I missed something? But what bank checks are these? I always thought that the minute you claim uc bank checks are already in operation. At least that's what they told me at dwp and my bank account are being assessed every 28 days.

@Catherine21 I'd just like to mention that Stephen Timms was at the roundtable for co production with disabled people on Wednesday, which was also attended by Scope, so I can confirm he is turning up to appointments featuring disabled peoples benefits.

Not all independent news is reported correctly @Catherine21 I'd say it's best to wait for official announcements. 😊

I do apologise passerby, I must have got you mixed up with another post on here. Don't know how I did that.
But did read your last post where you said it wasn't you, but regarding bank checks, I can only repeat what the telephone appointment person said to me on 2 separate occasions, which was they asked for my bank details in all bank accounts and any monies going over their limit means the forfeit of money being reduced and /or stopped altogether! so if they don't have access like you say, what's the point in asking me for it? I'm very confused by it all. Anyways, sincere apologies passerby and look through my previous posts and see if I can see what I was trying to get at. Yours sincerely
Socrates.

So Telegraph (I really don't look for their articles, a terrible paper) were running with Pat McFadden replacing Liz Kendall with plans for another benefits clampdown. I mean I thought all of this was done with.
Expect more Labour infighting, more rebellions and that was maybe why MP's like Maskell lost the whip so they will start again sans rebels.

somebody reason with me because legal jargon goes over my head.
On a scale of 1 to completely F’d … where are we at?

I don't know but surely Starmer can see clearly now The Rayner's gone…..

And this is why I keep dreaming of a regenerative cohousing community where disability law will be only part of our daily reality, because nature is abundant and I am sick and tired of living in this system of scarcity mindset and selfish greed. Anyone else?

There is a great book called Living Together by Mim Skinner that you may be interested in @marybelsalis! It's non fiction and it talks about all the different types of alternative communities and ways people can live together and it does focus a lot about disability, it's very interesting and thought provoking.
