Labour Reforms

I really cannot make sense of the green paper and what it means to me on pip and lcwra. I have a pip review coming up so should I worry I could lose everything. I just feel totally confused and let down by labour. I have painful osteoarthritis and spinal disease and I work 12 hours a week. The worry of having to return to…

I'm 59 years old on pip enhanced mobility and living awarded for inefinite period . I also get lcwra. I was recently migrated from ESa. I'm very anxious about how these cuts will affect me. Thanks

Can anyone tell me whether the proposed changes to PIP qualification,i.e. needing to score at least 4 points on one daily living category,will affect my current award? Or will it take effect from my next assessment?

I’m worried about what could to happen to the ESA support group, which I’m in. Having read the white paper with help we do not know if they will be written off, migrated to the new potentially merged system or ring-fenced? Surely for those who have been on it for years and are a risk to others should be ring-fenced as some…

PIP changes Recently I had a telephone renewal however they concentrated mainly on the mobility element. I wasn’t in need of any further monies to help me and I find it difficult to acknowledge my condition has worsened, subsequently I was happy when the outcome was the same as previous years - the low level PIP ( scoring…

Hi new here and hoping to get a answer. As like everyone, I’m concerned about the benefit changes and to keep LWCRA on the UC element, you have to be on PIP. But what about adults still on DLA and DWP hasn’t asked them yet to move to PIP. I’m 36 years old with open spine Spinabifida and been getting high rate for…

Hello everyone, I hope you are all continuing to keep safe and stay well. I don't need to tell anyone that at the moment, my anxiety levels are rising due to the Green Paper which has recently been published outlining the government's proposals to cut and reasses PIP. I was migrated onto PIP when the government phased out…

"So, am I right in thinking nothing will change until November 2026, even if the government gets its way with everything?"

This discussion was created from comments split from: March 26th and Green Paper Mega Discussion (ITV leaks, etc) .

Hi I was awarded lcwra last August 2024 . I'm trying to find out if they are reassessing people ? It's makes me more anxious not knowing if they will stop my lcwra and bully me again at the jobcentre

Good morning, My current PIP claim started in 2020. My claim lasts currently for the rest of my life with a soft touch review in 2030. I’m concerned that even though I’m past working age I may end up losing my PIP under new eligibility criteria. I have have multiple health issues and get the standard rate on both…

jjust going through process from dla to pip BUT What about the young people and parents/ carers that are going through the process now to gain pip. For example pip is denied!! but if still on Dla till 18 the benefit of dla would still be in place !! would Dla be reinstated due to protection or would you have to claim dla…

Hello. I am currently unfit for work. I have been diagnosed with ADHD, GAD, cPTSD, Social Anxiety, and Autism. I don't go out of the house and find socialising extremely anxious provoking to the point I don't socialise. Under these new work assessment schemes, if they declare me fit for work and I simply can't, they will…

Can anyone tell me whether the proposed PIP changes,i.e. needing to score 4 points on at least one of the daily living categories,is going to apply to existing PIP awards? I scored '2' on several categories in the daily living categories and '10' on the mobility category when I was last assessed 2 years ago. My conditions…

Hi all and welcome to the monkey house 😅 Fearing that losing my PIP and ESA will render me with insufficient income to survive. The options for me with these new rules would be homelessness or death. Not sure anyone here can render that untrue but at least we can understand one another.

Hi what it is someone is on a low P.I.P and it's for indefinitely award she has been on it for over 10years now and she's over state pension age how would that affect her?

Hi what it is someone is disabled and she's been on P.I.P for over 10years now and she's on indefinitly award how would that affect on her

Hello would love some help to understand about the new UC lcwra and pip changes coming soon I get all 3 and see they taking away lcw and lcwra in the year 2028 how can this affect me as I was given in January 2025 a infinity awarded for my lcwra and under it say about 10 years so what means it gets looked at again in the…

I am right in thinking that no changes take place til November 2026. I currently waiting for a pip review and receiving lcwra. If the worse happens and I lose pip will I lose lcwra that helps with working less hours for my pain.

I am a carer and are considerably concerned over the proposed welfare cuts. I feel let down and betrayed by a government that traditionally values and looks after those most vulnerable. All this 'new Labour' government want to do is steal from the poorest and most vulnerable instead of recovering lost revenue through a…

I'm concerned and worried the government are using the most vulnerable as scapegoats, maybe stop investing in wars and invest in the country, they're using us to hide their failings. The cuts are concerning to cut it in half next year is too cut my bills and food supply worse than it already is. And then too scrap lcwra…

Hi hope all are ok. Just my thoughts on this Green paper as I’m aware many many of you here will be in a panic and understandably so. I personally find it very very hard to believe that the change in eligibility for pip with 4 points needed from 1 descriptor will ever see the light of day. Do not forget these are proposals…

I'm deeply distressed about the proposed pip cuts that people won't get the daily living unless they score at least 4 points in a discriptor. This means I will lose my daily living because I get 2s and 3s in all discriptors even though I can not bath without help or cook without help. But they still gave 2 points. But also…

Hi all I'm wondering if anybody can help i currently been getting limited capability work since 2019 or 2020 and been getting pip since 2019 I also work 17.50 hours a week I'm worried they going to make me work more I have tried many of jobs but I'm also worried about losing that extre money as this helps me stay into work…

Was anyone else getting angry listening to Liz Kendall stand in front of the nation telling them what people with mental health problems NEED🥴 People with mental health problems already feel pathetic and unheard without her belittling us infront of the whole country. I scored 4 points on one of the daily living components…

I am confused. So is lcwra being scrapped for existing claimants ? The standard universal credit rate going up is that for everyone? Also when all these changes start How do you have to claim pip to be able not look for work

hi , can anyone help me on scoring 4 points in a single category for mental health as my pip review is due soon 😦 I’ve already sent the forms back months ago though just waiting to hear back from them now.

hi all I am on standard daily living, first award 6 years ago with 8 pts, also standard mobility 3 years ago with 10 pts for standard, got enhanced mobility Never had 4 pts on one, been 2pters etc, bit concerned Even if I had 4 pter would be dubious they don’t put it to 3 when changes happen, get 12 pts or more, no 4 pts…
