Good PIP news? Government U-turn...

[flow4]

This sounds like it might be good news for those of us worrying about the announced PIP cuts: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-...

Yep, that's what I read last night, it's only a "source" at the moment saying it's going to be kicked into touch...but here's hoping for a formal announcement in the near future!

Mmm, we'll see. The thing is there's been too much opposition to the amendment & the "source" comes across as back peddling. Spin doctor speak perhaps?

Time they saw sense

I hope so, waiting for my brown envelope, expecting to get nothing and was planning on just reapplying but if they change the points system I'll have less of a chance than I do now. x

And that's why these changes should not happen for people like you....genuine people who deserve this help but expect to get nothing....YOU DESERVE IT 😊 Not everyone is good with forms and can say and do the right things at the assessments...the whole PIP system needs to be fairer!! Sorry but I'm on my soapbox about this at the moment...I truly hope you get the help you deserve...Dogrose, please let us know how you get on. X

If it remains in place it won't come into effect until Jan next year Dogrose. Everything's crossed you've had no need to worry & you get what's due. Do let us know when you get the result won't you, we'll cheer you if you're happy & be there with help if you're not. x

[Dogrose in reply to nomoreheels]

Thanks will report back whatever happens! Technically on paper I do qualify for lower rate care but we all know how they lie and twist things. xx
