I am worried that my benefits will reduce or stop due to the proposed Government cuts

The Government has published a Green Paper about the proposed changes which are:

• Personal Independence Payment (PIP) eligibility criteria;
• Abolishing the work capability assessment;
• Linking the health element of universal credit to PIP; and
• Rebalancing' the universal credit elements

At present, we can’t advise how these changes will affect you individually, as the proposals and timeline could change, after which they will need to go through legislation. For example, it could be the case the proposed changes and stricter rules for entitlement are only applied to new claimants or those whose benefit is under review. Whilst it is totally understandable to be worried about the changes, nothing will change immediately.
