PIP reform

Hi everyone, I am disabled and am so scared by proposed cuts to PIP, I am enhanced for both , but scored 2s in daily living, but having multiple problems is just as bad as having 1 serious problem. I pay for help to keep my house clean, for help with my many meds, help with ironing etc, and will no longer be able to live…

Hello Everyone, I've just posted my PIP review form and I'm worried that it will be stopped as it's for mental health. My current award is until October.

hi I put in for a MR on 25th January, was receiving standard from beginning of 2024 but submitted change of circumstance in sept 2024 and was awarded enhanced in Jan 2025, but for some reason they only awarded me from December rather than from when I submitted the change so I missed out on a substantial amount of backpay.…

The recent news regarding PIP has been very distressing to me, I somehow have both a learning disability and difficulties. My issues mostly lie in managing money, I got into debt with the Council several times for missed payments. Communicating with new people so I usually work in a small shop stockroom. Also some meal…

hi, I have been given standard daily living with my review for PIP. I am wanting to appeal this decision. How long does the process for an appeal take and is it worth it? Thanks

My next AR1 form will likely arrive in March 2026. After I send it back, based on the last time I did this, I expect I'll get an assessment about 1 year later. When this assessment takes place, it will likely be after November 2026. However, the AR1 form would have been filled out and received by the DWP before November…

I am on UC and LCW. I receive the standard amount for over 25 year old single adult. I don't get PIP. Is the health element a figure of cash or an approximation of equitable value of something else? I have struggled for 3 years living below the poverty line and have never seen or heard of this "health element" before…

Hello i got pip last years eaxh my activity not 4 my payment will be cancel?

I saw it said in the new changes you have to score above 4 points in a daily living question, can I just clarify I’ve understood this right - you just need 4 points in one answer, not above 4 in all answers?

Hello I've been trying so hard to put my PIP claim through but I'm stuck, they said they needed to confirm my identity and send me a letter This letter says "To claim any benefit we need to confirm your identity. Please can you send us your passport, if you have one. If you do not have a passport, please send one of the…

I'm new here. I have a diagnosis of complex ptsd. I applied for PIP. Following the 'interview' they have scored me zero across the board. I have no words. Devastated. Their report is factually inaccurate and I have drafted a response. In fact I was seen by an OH consultant the following day and will send that report as…

According to Dwp and Maximus, I have no problems and aren't disabled. They pull this everytime I have to have a reassessment and claim there is nothing wrong with me, now I'm going to have to go and have a tribunal and I'm not going to lie, I don't think I can handle all of this for the 4th time and given how many times…
