    Thank you for sharing the report and the supporting documents. From what I've read so far, one of the most important themes is the recognition that many disabled people feel the current PIP assessment doesn't accurately reflect the reality of living with a long-term or fluctuating condition.

    I'm pleased to see the emphasis on listening to people with lived experience. Hopefully, this leads to practical improvements rather than just changes on paper. A simpler, fairer, and more person-centred assessment process would make a huge difference for many people who already face enough challenges without having to fight to access support.

    I'm interested to see the final recommendations and whether they address consistency in assessments, clearer communication, and reducing the stress many people experience during the claims process.

    Thanks again for posting the links—I'll be following the discussion with interest and look forward to hearing everyone else's thoughts.

    I, myself have to continue to feel unsafe for the rest of my life, both at home and in public, because PIP does not listen to anything that I say and PIP ignores everything that I say, which has prevented me from getting the care that I need.

    @Rag_793 Contrary to popular belief this is the United Kingdom, NOT the 51st State of North America.

    Ok then, I have the right to remain silent
