When are they cutting off the LCWRA element for under 22’s?

So basically years to implement anything much.

I suspect 27/8 means the intention is to implement the change in two years time, April 2027. Bearing in mind they're consulting on it and it's potentially difficult and controversial that doesn't seem too long.

While I can see a policy objective to stop people who've 'wobbled off' in their late teens getting extra money it's a pretty hard deal for those, and the parents of those, with congenital problems or those issues evident well pre-teens.

I agree. do you think they will likely make it that those on PIP will still get the health element or have they indicated this won't happen?
