worried about losing PIP, anyone else?

My husband has claimed pip/dla since being a child but for mental disability rather than physical. His last claim was a 10 year award which comes to an end next year and I am worried what to expect with the new rules being rolled out. are most people likely to lose PIP? will he still get a light tough review as his award was 10 years?

I’ve already been granted an indefinite award as I have a degenerative condition, M.S. It is a massive worry for people not knowing what the future holds.

One thing I do know is that the journalists reporting on this don’t exactly know that much about the benefits available. One has talked about incapacity benefit, I’ve also seen a written article about this. This benefit hasn’t been available for at least 15 years, it’s now ESA, which is a legacy benefit and will eventually be moved onto Universal Credit.

They are scare mongering with incorrect information, journalism at its worse. Hopefully if enough M.Ps revolt it won’t be passed. Also a lot of peoples conditions have worsened because during covid the NHS literally came to a standstill for other treatments, especially Gynae, it’s been horrific, hence people deteriorating and having to claim PIP, this will be one of the reasons for an increase in new claims.

Reform is needed. It is totally unsustainable.
