March 2025

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 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…

Hello everyone I received a letter today advising i have been put in the support group for new style contribution based esa. i am in receipt of PIP also. My husband is my carer and he is paid carers allowance every month. I am so confused now. Will i stay in the support group until retirment age now and can my husband…

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…

I am a pensioner on a 10 year ongoing award till 2029 I have read today that a million people will lose there pip next month and most of them are going to be the over 60 so I presume that Rachel reeves is going to make a announcement on budget day to say pensions will no longer be entitled to it after taking the winter…

hi i keep looking around the internet looking for some clarity if new style esa is still staying for existing people or not seems very unfair if you payed all the money in over the years and now because you have some savings which you have saved for you are discriminated against I have a degenerative neurological disease…

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…

Is new style esa support group comrade being stop

Not sure if this is wrote place to put this but can anyone help I have a number of conditions that affect me includes severe mental health, fibromyalgia long covid and a dislocation shoulder injury, I have a ot assessment and a go letter stating that arm movement is restricted in right arm due to injury, many years ago and…

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?
