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:

'The government plans more frequent reassessments' - this is frustratingly broad, does it mean that someone who thought they had five years for instance now be told they have to report to some 'big doctor' six months from now instead?

I don't know how this is going to work. I had to submit pip review forms in May. I had a letter around Christmas time to say that they were giving themselves until December 2025 to reach a decision. And today I had a text saying that they are now looking at my case. This has taken 10 months. Have they got the staff to carry out more frequent reviews ? How much is it going to cost to employ more assessors ?
