Upcoming changes to benefits
Comments

For these last few months I've not been worrying much, thinking things may not turn out that bad, anything they decide will possibly take years to happen, I can save up to have a safety net for when those things happen. But lately for some reason I've been feeling worried sick, it's making me want to drink quite a lot of alcohol now and eat junk food to help me relax and give me comfort, but it'll be bad for my health, I already have high blood pressure.

I'm being migrated to Universal Credit, and I'll find out my new payment amount on April 5th. I currently receive the enhanced rate for all my benefits, was in the ESA Support Group, and received the Severe Disability Premium (SDP). Previously, I understood that I would have transitional protection and would continue to receive the same amount as I did on legacy benefits. However, I'm worried that any announcements made tomorrow could affect my payments. Do you think I'll still receive exactly the same amount, or could these changes potentially impact my entitlement?

Sorry I should have been more specific, for people that don’t need it and wouldn’t qualify he’s explaining how to do it

Oh that's so irritating! The kind of stuff that makes things so much worse for us and why people think we're scroungers

At the stage now I just wonder would they even care about the legal side.
My MP just made contact in the last hour, no copy and paste.
they fully accept what I said about
1, Who decides who are the people truly unfit for work
2, they agree any cuts to these people is totally unacceptable
3, again they accept the stress and the way this is being handled is just making people even more upset and worried.
Given the amount of bad feeling various policies have already generated my MP is one
now considered a marginal at real risk of Reform Gaining, They are already doorstepping
and the rubbish being spouted but its coming back to another point if people are so scared
they will listen to something you only have to look at the people who Trusted Trump
and now have serious Buyers regret. Labour seem intent on pushing people away who would normally be loyal voters and for what? so Reeves and her "fiscal rules" doesnt spook the Market but Trump and Co are spooking the markets 7 days a week sometimes 5 times day.

We have also have had the dreaded brown envelope we have to move over by 7th June. I'm not transferring until after the April increase as advised. I don't think anything will change anytime soon. Like you and many others my anxiety levels have it the roof. This year so far I've had to do my hubby's pip and ESA migration to UC and the cherry on the cake the welfare cuts. I just hope and 🙏 that they are not as bad as what the media having being saying or is that me just been optimistic.

Not really. The first domino came when they chose to cut WFA and condemn more pensioners into poverty.

Hopefully the ongoing judicial review will be successful and charities and disabled activists will be able to find grounds within this dreaded bill to legally challenge

It would be quite ironic for then to do that, considering they condemned the Tories when asking them would they make pip means tested and the Tories wouldn't answered. But hi this Labour government is full of nasty surprises
