Hello All..
I have been really struggling over the last few weeks, i hope it will pass soon but it is being made worse by the proposed cuts by the government.
I think my life would be easier if i had solid answers on where we stand as disabled people on benefits. I cant seem to find an answer to my question that is bothering me. I struggle to talk and ask questions because i get confused very easily. I have asked Scope questions and they just point my to their confusing article about the cuts, i asked in person at Disability North West and they were pretty much clueless. I hope someone here will have an answer but i am aware nothing has been confirmed by the government.
Basically what i want to know is is the WCA being scrapped and is the PIP assessment going to be used to assess peoples disability?
Will i need to apply for PIP now? or should i wait?
I am asking this as i say an article by The Big Issue saying 600000 people are at risk by cuts the government are making that no one is talking about.

I am super confused at the minute and thats part of the reason i am struggling so much..
I just want to know if i should apply for pip now or wait..
Cheers Guys
