Hi I'm new to this but I would like to know more about PIP changes and how it will impact me

This has been making me ill for a number of months given the benefit cuts that have been announced. I understand ESA (IR) is being moved to Universal Credit and ESA (CB) will eventaully end up being this new "Unemployment Insurance" The new benefit from what I read wont be effective 2028/29 and that is when the WCA will be…

I intend to take up the governments kind offer of finding all lazy disabled UK residents suitable full-time work…. I am 62 years old and had a near fatal accident 35 years ago - I worked full time until 15 years ago and part time until 5 years ago. I have absolutely no idea what they will suggest – having been a Civil…

I know there are a few threads on this already, sorry. I'm just trying to raise further awareness and gauge the overall response to the newest dirty trick from DWP. Call it a survey about a survey! 😛

Hi folks, I'm coming to the conclusion that I'm going to lose everything I have. My benefits, my home that I worked hard for to buy, due to the changes that might happen to the longterm sick and disabled. Im not able to look for employment so I will probably end up homeless at some point. The government are not interested…

Struggling with the cuts news and developments, as so many are. I always read the News posts on Benefits and Work to keep up with the emerging information and it was from there that I discovered the Green Paper thread on this forum. Hoping to contribute something useful.

Thoughts on this article? The press love scaremongering, but it doesn't tell you much! DWP confirms PIP changes including 10-year ‘light-touch’ reviews

What do we make of Labour potentially asking PIP recipients what they actually spend there money on.For years it says you can spend it on what you like,now a large amount goes on daily living expenses,food,gas,electricity,water,phone, Internet,tv pacage,most people with disabilities more so muskeloskeletal issues dont…

I have an indefinite DLA award of high care/low mobility for a lifetime condition (epilepsy). My concern is that if I wait until the proposed measures happen before claiming PIP (assuming they do), then I may not qualify due to the 4 point rule. If I do qualify then maybe my current LCWRA award would also be cut under the…

Hello to every again dose anyone know what happeing to people who need help with day life. I been told I can never again will that change under this govement.

Taken from the Mirror today - Seems that the 10 year/light touch awards will hopefully improve the users 'experience' of claiming PIP as well as being given more information when awarded such an award. No idea what all of that means but it will only affect new claims next year and those that reach the 10 year point of…
