@Glos-Guy Doesn’t following a journey cover mental health, as we as things like, Dementia/other brain conditions, cognitive/learning disability’s, stroke ….. It will be much harder to disconnect access to the scheme, than it was to grant access by making mental health a disability (2010?). Could you imagine the uproar, when (not if) they tried it!
I have no idea @kezo As I said, I was purely speculating based on what Labour, the Conservates, Reform UK and most newspapers have said that they think should happen. I agree that, whether people agree with it or not, it would be a nightmare to unravel. I don’t see them reclassifying mental health issues back to health conditions, rather than disabilities, as that would result in no end of legal challenges. I could see, however, a complete re-writing of the PIP questions, scoring and criteria. That way, you could have two people who both qualify for higher rate PIP, but only the one who has derived the points through a physical disability gets a gateway to Motability. It would basically put things back to where they were 5+ years ago, but by using a new route rather than back peddling on the last changes. As I say, complete and utter speculation on my part, based on zero knowledge 😂
