Hi, I claim PIP for MH reasons. I recently put in a change of circumstance and waiting to be contacted about an assessment. I've seen so many people on socials saying they're making it harder to claim PIP for MH and even might scrap PIP altogether. I'm just really worried as this along with UC LCWRA really help me and I'm…

Do you think the people that are awarded the 10 year award and receive a light touch review at the end of that period, that their PIP will be cut too or do you think these people in this bracket will likely be left alone? Thanks

Not been a good day for me today, I'm so worried about the proposed benefit cuts. I have fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and osteoarthritis. I get standard daily living but didn't score 4 points in one area so I'm likely going to lose my pip allowance. I was given a 10 year ongoing award last November with a light touch…

Following today's green paper I am concerned that I will lose my daily living allowance. I currently receive the standard rate. I am 71 years old and due for a "soft touch" review at the end of 2027. I scored 9 points (total) back in 2017 for the daily living section & 12 points for the mobility section. What worries me is…

I’m posting because I need some clarification regarding today’s changes. For the daily living component, I see that it mentions if we score more than four points in an activity such as preparing food, eating and drinking, managing treatments, washing and bathing, managing toilet needs, dressing and undressing,…

I was told I have severe learning disability and also violent disorder but I had got lcwra in 2022 so am I exempt from this new announcement will I be re assessed I have no idea what’s it ment and I watched it live any help would be great please anything atall

I am a pensioner 71 years of age, I was born with Spina Bifida. I get the higher rate of PIP so will these new changes afffect me as an existing claimant?

I scored 13 points in total for daily living, on the one category I had 4 points, anyone know what that mean for me, my head is all over the place. Thanks in advance

I've listened to the government and don't understand what she has said Is new style ESA support group being abolished? I've heard her say contribution based JSA and ESA are going to be time limited....is that new style ESA?

Hi, after today's news on benefits can someone tell me I get lcwra on a single claim and work as courier driver part time. Also get pip daily living for my mentel health condition off 12 years. Does it mean my lcwra will stop now or in 2028. My pip due for reassessment before Feb 2027.

was just wondering after all this information was given today by. Liz Kendall., whether someone could explain to me as I am on the new style Esa and in the support group.. is this being scrapped? What will I receive now? As I am and have neuropathy and cannot work anymore? TIA

IS CB ESA becoming what it was suppose to be 1 year benefit with all long term sick moving over to UC full time?

hello I seen labours benefit overhaul, but I don't understand it what does it mean for UC & LCWRA existing claimants I don't understand and worried a bit as I'm still due a reassessment ☹️

Hi Everyone, Difficult day for a lot of us - I hope you're all doing ok. Am I right in thinking that the PIP eligibility criteria won't change until 2026/27? - the whole 'needing 4 points in one category' thing?

So they say they'll ditch this and therefore the 400 a month..it's not clear is it. They'll up UC by maybe 60 quid a month...isn't that a cut?

I was awarded pip for 5 years from October last year ,will my 5 year award now be taken away by the government under these new proposals ? Or will my current award still be honoured barring any changed to my circumstances Thank you in advance

hi there I am new here, I have several conditions and I am looking for similar people to talk with & ask Questions

But just standard amount for couple no extra for LWC . I then got awarded PIP and my husband gets Carers for me . After reading countless posts on here…

Hi, I know there is a lot of worry and confusion going on with the government benefit changes and I've tried to understand some of it but I'm still really struggling. Liz kendal mentioned contribution Esa and Jsa joining together and said something about being time limited. Can anyone clarify what will happen to people on…

really good news vouchers scrapped and I believe it was a fair negotiating- but relief to be honest.

Hi, Would a person with a long term progressive chronic illness be affected with the New changes that are being announced today do you think?
