that makes sense as I think I read something about the yearly increase can be frozen . Wasn’t benefits frozen a few years back to make savings ?

Within 2 years PIP won't exist . It's costing too much. Why would someone who has disability need more than someone else on jsa ? I'm PIP but I do think unemployment benefits should be same for all and increase to make it fair to everyone. Like £300 per month my rent is £550 yet my housing allowance is £425 so without PIP how would I pay rent my rent. Housing rental has almost doubled since covid. Now om looking for cheaper accommodation 1 bedroom social accommodation but I have to bid with others. I was currently number 2 in que now I'm number 40 and it'd only 5 pounds a month cheaper. Housing allowance need to increase with the rental market price. Even if I was working full-time I couldn't afford a 1 bedroom flat without PIP. So eventually I will end up in bedsit or hostel

I'm shocked after reading that the reforms and cuts will not have to go through legislation.
I'm even more stressed now because this means they can bring these cuts in immediately if they wish. I feel physically sick.

This is certainly worth a read.

Sorry but any welfare reforms do need legislation. They needs the green paper, white paper ans Royal Ascent.
That’s without any legal challenges etc…What they are talking about is probably the PIP freeze which doesn’t need legislation as long as it’s justified.

It would be great if saving was an option for me. As things stand, I am thinking about taking my Motability car back early, as I can barely afford my daily expenses.

Me too, I didn't sleep at all last night. All the talk of green papers etc but that article says cuts don't need require new legislation. Made me feel quite sick

Welfare reforms but cuts to welfare?

We can all get a job as a work coach - £24K to £26K pa. How hard can it be to sanction people you don't like the look of? (Joking)

Sorry but they have frozen benefits before, for 4 years. They can freeze it again

I would be more concerned with them being removed than frozen! We shall have to hang on to hear what the green paper says.

Does anyone know what was said in Ellen Clifford’s zoom meeting ? I read on YouTube the cuts are expected to catastrophic.
0 -
I don't know about any zoom meetings, but I do believe (my opinion) that much of the public support cuts to social security.

I certainly won't hold my breath, waiting for a public outcry.

We don't have anything concrete yet, still alot of 'leaks' and supposition. It isn't easy, I too am concerned.
