Proposed changes to PIP and other benefits

Bunny

In case anyone would like to read the Government's Green Paper with full details of the proposed changes (rather than relying only on media reports), it can be found here:

  • Thanks, Bunny. "This means that people who only score the lowest points on each of the PIP daily living activities will lose their entitlement in future." I wonder what 'in the future' means here? 2028 as Inglewood believed they heard, or will it be an immediate suspension once passed, even for those (with just 2s etc. in each category) who thought they had some time to try and save for the coming hardship.

    Also, 'we will not be consulting on this' makes it seem like it's set and no disability advocate group will change their minds or intention.
