@RITB_ That's exceptionally kind of you thank you. I really hope we can get this ludicrous plan consigned to dustbin, it'll be lethal otherwise. X

Please give your opinion on PIP future The Terms of Reference reiterate plan to make PIP the sole gateway for extra £ if you can't work due to illness/disability My DWP FOI shows 584,000 LCWRA/ESA failed to qualify for PIP: a 23% failure rate for those too sick/disabled to work

Here is confirmation in Timms PIP review "Terms of Reference" (30 Oct '25) that Govt still plan to scrap the Work Capability Assessment & make qualification for Daily Living PIP the gateway for those who are too ill/disabled to work to access financial support (excl. basic UC)

@Phil_Free_ NP. Yeah I really wish I could say we have nothing else to face/fear in the near future (next year or so)... I've written extensively about the 2025 Autumn White Paper that was shelved/paused. The proposals that were due in that may surface again after the Timms PIP review. Ugh.

@LurgeeLife Thank you Liz, a very thorough explanation. It has put my mind at ease… for the immediate future at least. Many thanks 👍

@LurgeeLife Following your thread on changes to UC. Are existing claimants going to get a cut next month to the level of a new claimant & then potentially have it restored after another assessment? Or will it potentially be cut only after we’ve had another assessment? Thanks.

@Phil_Free_ Or if an existing claimant starts a job that means they can't qualify for LCWRA anymore but then has to quit that job due to ill health or disability in the future and it's over 6 months since they were last in receipt of LCWRA. Hope that helps.

@Phil_Free_ So the long & short of it is that the only way an existing claimants' LCWRA rate will be cut is if they are kicked off LCWRA following reassessment & are then unsuccessful in appealing that decision but then manage to successfully qualify for LCWRA again in the future.

The LCWRA + UC monthly rate of £642.16 pcm applies to those who newly apply for welfare support after 6 April 2026 Pre-Apr 2026 claimants, those who newly qualify under the Severe Conditions Criteria and those who are terminally ill will get the higher LCWRA rate See below 👇

So: Covid doesn’t just weaken you in a vague sense — it strikes at the exact defences that normally hold Neisseria meningitidis at bay.

Before Covid came along, England was doing pretty well with meningococcal disease. Which is great because it's a disease that can *kill a healthy teenager within hours*... ... or leave them alive without limbs, hearing, or memory... But... and it's a really big but... 🧵
