Government sneaking in 4 pt LCWRA rule

Kvothe

Hello

I saw a video from a lady who follows what the government are trying to do to disabled people.

She says the government is pushing through a 4 point rule for LCWRA and people are going to be reassessed to see if they have a life long condition that is NHS and only the NHS.

is this true does anybody know?

here is the video www.youtube.com/watch

  • I didn’t watch the whole video because I didn’t like how the person presented the information and I don’t trust video information.

    I haven’t heard anything about this but what I do know is that the government Health Secretary Wes Streeting is currently reviewing whether or not mental health conditions, autism and ADHD are being over diagnosed and if this is the case it could be used to justify cuts to PIP.  However organisations and autism charities are submitting evidence to show that autism and ADHD are under diagnosed. 

    Discussions among government ministers go on all the time but this is the latest current information I can find about LCWRA. It doesn’t include recent discussions.

    Please try not to worry as there is a lot of media hype and sensationalism around.

    She does say in the video that these things might be being pushed through in secret before the reviews that are happening..

    I understand that and it is easy for me to say. I think much of LCWRA and PIP evidence for eligibility is gathered from GP records and other professionals who deal with autism or daily living challenges, so you might have these things recorded there? In worse case scenarios you could get any decision reviewed with the help of Citizen’s Advice or a similar organisation. Any government decisions mightn’t apply to existing claimants.
