Labour Reforms

Does anyone know what's happening to old CB ESA? I'm in the support group. With all the announcements this week I'm left very confused about reassessments and / or mergers!

All about the Spring Statement

As someone with mental health problems and who claims PIP, I'm worried about the upcoming changes made by the government. I suffer from depression and anxiety. This particular development is unhelpful and stress-inducing.

I don’t understand d what’s happening. Does anyone?

So as I understand it the previous attempt by the government to change LCWRA descriptors was deemed illegal because sure enough it was in fact only an attempt to save money and not to help or access people too sick to work…so the recent government announcement to merge the WCA criteria with PIP( and non work related…

nice to see mps have given themselves a pay rise, taking their salaries to 90k a year, after targeting disabled people to save 5 billion! Wonder what the total cost is for that rise for all mps?

James Taylor, Executive Director of Strategy at disability equality charity Scope, said: “The biggest cuts to disability benefits on record should shame the government to its core. They are choosing to penalise some of the poorest people in our society. Almost half of families in poverty include someone who is disabled.…

Hi everyone. I already receive high rate on both parts for pip . I have already scored 6 points on one descriptor and over 12 in total for daily living . Will I still have to be reassessed when the new pip comes out . Surely I could just fill out the form again and as long as the descriptor is the same I would qualify…

Hi so the new 4 point pip change late next year. Is that for new Claims first . Or is that for everyone? Say if I get my pip reviewed this year and get awarded for 3 years . Will I have to have another assessment next year when the new 4 point system comes in ?

I trying to find answers for my worry of what's to come with pip changes. If I were to lose pip and appeal do you still keep getting money during the appeal process or does it stop and then only backdated if you win. Also will my lcwra stop when these changes happen if I lose pip. I really going out of my mind with all…

Hi My award is currently being reviewed. Last time I scored 2s and 3s and enough points for standard daily living and enhanced mobility. Will the DWP apply the new 4 points rule announced or the current rules. Thanks

Hi New to this so apologies if I have duplicated an existing post. Now I have got over the shock, like many others, I am now in action mode. I have written to my MP as I know others have done. However for those of us novices, did you realise that a Green paper means it is being consulted on. It is therefore vital to give…

Is anyone else terrified about what was said yesterday regarding the disability benefit cuts? I'm on lwrca for my OCD but it very much sounds as though they are going to make it impossible to claim pip for mental health reasons alone. Requiring 4 points is absurd. I struggled to get onto pip in the first place they kept…
