PIP reform

Ok so for the past year I have been calling the so called pip helpline in regards to this issue. But before I even made the first call to them I spoke to an advisor at the c.a.b and this was also the same advisor who had helped me to fill out forms and actually get pip. I was awarded standard rate and this was for mental…

Hi Pips, (no pun intended😁) I'm a fresher here so please be kind!! Right. I had my first review forms posted off yesterday and as I mentally ( I surprised myself there😊) reviewed the day I realised I left the very last part of the form, Page 24 I believe, blank!! The part where they ask you to add anything else you want to…

Hi all, I can’t seem to find a similar situation online as I’m guessing that the following is rare. I have Autism and nonverbal learning disability, extreme social anxiety and depression, for the last 13 years I have been in the ESA support group so am deemed not fit to work and I receive the higher rate in PIP for the…

I don’t know what is going to happen in the autumn budget, I’m as worried as anyone about it, but the more I see of Stephen Timms I realise he’s a good guy who really fights for disabled people. Obviously he can’t make all the decisions himself, I’d feel more confident if he did, he’s a good man. I was heartbroken to hear…

I've decided to email my MP about my concerns about the proposed PIP reforms and how the disabled community would be impacted. It's in my drafts, but i wanted to get a second opinion on here. Dear Grahame Morris I am writing to express concern about the proposed PIP reforms. Since Rishi Sunak announced this proposal to…

I receive enhanced daily rate and enhanced mobility rate, I use my full mobility rate for a car on the motability scheme.

I don’t need anyone to reply, I’m just letting off stress. I literally am so drained by waiting to see what happens with PIP, LWCRA & UC, all which I get. Getting PIP was one of the most hellish experiences and I’m still traumatised to this day and it runs out next summer, then I’ll have another assessment.. well I’m meant…

Hi, hope you are well! I feel confused myself so i want to ask you who have experienced about this situation similar to me. I did asked to DWP about the old PIP rate had wrongly awarded from 2018 to 2024 because I'm deaf and cannot speak at all so they should be awarded me higher point in daily living parts from standard…

h, what are people predicting will happen regarding PIP and the potential reforms? Do people expect there to be significant changes to PIP? It’s very stressful waiting.
