For all UK based TI's in reciept of PIP

For those TIs here in the UK who are needing to claim benefits, you may want to sign this petition.

Those of you claiming PIP will have seen the news over the last year, and it is NOT good.

The Labour government seems to be reforming ONLY the benefits system, and sending weapons to Ukraine.

They are trying to push through changes to both PIP and Universal credit. Please see the past blog posts about this for more details.

But, in short, they have finally began the mass roll out of moving people onto Universal Credit from the legacy benefits. They have done this by postcode districts.

They are wanting to reduce down the higher and lower rates of Universal Credit in general.

With PIP - they want to create a new "4 POINT PIP RULE". This rule would mean that for the part of PIP called daily living, which consitist of 10 daily tasks and how your health issues impact your ablility to do them - you would need to score a MINIMUM of 4 points for one of these. This is not then taking into account the other areas as to weather you would get - if you did get 4 points for 1 acitivity - which level of daily living you would get - basic or enhanced.

With how PIP already scores people, this will make it almost impossible to get daily living. It was mainly designed and thought up duw to the very high increase in people applying for PIP after the COVID lockdowns and the mental health impact of this time.

The 4 point rule will almost ERADICATE people claiming PIP for mental health issues. Most TIs will have endured being sectioned or similar during thier targeting, and utilize said mental health issues for PIP even though it essentially means admitting you are "Mad" rather than a TI. This is just as it is.

They are now floating around another idea of linking PIP to Universal Credit, in the sense that if a person does not get the daily living part of PIP they will also get a reduced amount for Universal Credit.

They also want to have all PIP assessments, for new applicants and existing ones, have thier reviews face to face. When you attend such an assessment they purposfully have chairs with no arm rests, make rooms stuffy with heating, and have water coolers placed around the waiting rooms and more. They watch you even when sat in the waiting rooms and assess you if you are able to sit down and stand up from a chair without difficulty, do you get up to get a cup of water and alike. If they saw you able to move in this way and this 4 point PIP rule has gone through they will just score you as ZERO for daily tasks such as mobility and moving around categries. They would then also use this as an answer for other categories, and copy and paste this for things such dressing and undressing, food preperation and more whereever possible.

Keir Starmer and Liz Kendall - the main 2 pushing for these reforms, are facing a backlash from hundreds of MPs around the country, including Labour MPs, however they are being threatened with being sacked for rebelling and Labour are reaching over the isles to other MPs from other parties to back them.

Putting targeting aside for a moment, there are NORMAL people - NON TIs - who will suffer as well as us. There WILL be LOSS OF LIFE. There are people who will lose between £300 - £800 a month as a result of this, and will no longer be able to travel to and from health appointments and more. They will be forced to consider do they want a house, energy and food - or health appointments, do they want to move homes to somewhere cheaper, which in the current climate from a house or flat would only then mean most likley a shared house - to be able to have a home and health appointments. These are only a few examples of the struggles many will face.

For anyone not already claiming PIP please begin this process now before any changes are actually put through government, which would start from November 2026. If you want PIP and you do not act NOW you will not get it easily after this time. Gather your medical records, watch tutorial videos online, seek expert benefits advisors in your area, make notes of each part of PIP and list what is specific to you for each of them, practice how you would appear in person or speak on the phone and what you would say, and get your applications in NOW - THIS YEAR IN 2024.

You are all entitled to this money, and I would say more so than your average joe when a victim of this crime.
