@Hermione1963 Hi there, I'm sorry to hear about your PIP assessment.  You could make a complaint with the assessment provider. Their contact details should be on the appointment letter. Please feel free to contact our helpline on 0808 800 3333. Best wishes, Fred at Scope

A government consultation is coming in the Spring that will outline their proposals for the future of disability benefits. We know that media speculation about disability benefit cuts and misinformation online will be worrying to many disabled people. Any changes to benefits won’t happen overnight. We’ve been hearing from lots of disabled people that are worried about potential changes and what they could mean for them. We have had to turn off replies to this post so that we can continue to work through the high volume of contact we have already had. But if you are concerned about any of these issues, you can get in touch with Scope’s helpline for free and impartial advice. 👉 If you’re worried and would like to talk to someone about how you’re feeling, Samaritans are available 24/7. You can call them for free on 116 123.

We’re urging the government not to ignore the cost of cuts. They must work with us to reform the benefits system, rather than making it worse.

@healingcentaur Hi Ed, we've sent you a private message to find out more about your situation, and offer support. Take care, Esther at Scope

Hello. At the moment, no changes are confirmed. There is only speculation and rumours right now. So, we can't say whether there will be an impact on certain people or benefits, or what it might be exactly. When we know more about what's coming, we'll do our best to share the right information. Take care, Lily at Scope.
