00:00Today I am bringing something that has left many PIP claimants shocked, anxious and uncertain
00:04about the future.
00:05And it is extremely important that you stay with me till the end, because this truly affects
00:09the lives of disabled people across the UK.
00:12You are watching UK Helpdesk DWP Benefits Updates, and I am here to explain what's
00:16going on with PIP in a clear, honest and factual way without confusion or fear.
00:21What I am about to tell you is not a rumour or a scare.
00:23This is based on government announcements, parliamentary updates and reactions from disability
00:27charities.
00:28Personal independence payment, or PIP, is one of the most important forms of financial
00:32support for people who face difficulties with daily living or mobility.
00:36Right now nothing has changed in how the payments are made, nobody has lost their PIP today.
00:41And people who are already claiming continue to receive their payments.
00:44But there is a major proposal on the table that has the potential to affect hundreds
00:47of thousands of claimants in the coming years.
00:50The shocking part is that, although the government paused the immediate introduction of this rule,
00:54they did not cancel the idea.
00:56So people are safe now, but they are not guaranteed safety forever.
00:59The plan was to introduce a stricter requirement from November 2026 for new PIP claimants.
01:04The requirement would be that someone must score at least four points in one single daily
01:08living activity.
01:09So even if a person has serious disability impacting many areas of daily life, if they
01:13do not score four points on any one specific task, they could be refused a daily living component.
01:19Disability charities and MPs pointed out that this would leave people with multiple moderate
01:22impairments without support even though they genuinely need it.
01:26Many people with fluctuating mental health conditions, conditions such as autism, chronic
01:30pain disorders or neurological issues would face difficulty proving for points for one
01:34specific activity, even though they clearly need daily support overall.
01:38This rule was expected to affect up to 800,000 future claimants and could cost someone more
01:42than £4,000 per year in lost support.
01:45That is shocking, because this is not a small amount.
01:47And for many people this benefit is what allows them to maintain independence.
01:51Buy food, travel, access medical support and live with dignity.
01:55So the shock is real.
01:57But here's the important part.
01:58Because of public pressure, disability groups, experts and opposition MPs, the government paused
02:03this plan and announced that before any major change takes place, independent review and further
02:08assessment will happen.
02:09What does this mean in reality?
02:11It means there is no change right now.
02:13It means current claimants are safe for now.
02:15It means anyone applying before late 2026 is still under existing rules.
02:19But it also means that in the future this idea could return.
02:22And that's why people must not ignore what's happening.
02:25This is not a scare video.
02:26This is about staying informed, prepared and aware.
02:29Some people ask whether this applies to people on mobility parts and the answer is no.
02:33The proposed stricter rule was focused only on the daily living part, not mobility.
02:38However, the daily living part is the one that many rely on for home care, cooking support,
02:43cleaning assistance, medical management and personal care.
02:46So any threat to it is serious.
02:48People also ask whether existing claimants would lose PIP under this rule.
02:51As of now, there is no such confirmed rule.
02:54And the government clarified that they will study the impact before applying anything to
02:57existing claimants.
02:59That is why it is extremely important that everyone keeps their medical evidence safe,
03:03keeps records of their daily challenges and does not leave documentation for the last minute.
03:07One thing that is very clear from everything we have heard is that disability groups are
03:11not giving up.
03:12They are demanding that PIP remains accessible and fair, and that people are judged on real
03:16life evidence, not a one box formula.
03:19Many experts are saying that the government needs to listen to people with lived experience
03:22instead of designing rules that fail to understand real disability.
03:26Now the most important point for you, what should you do right now?
03:29You should stay informed.
03:30Keep your paperwork ready.
03:32Make sure you have proof of how your condition affects your daily living.
03:34And if you are planning to apply for PIP, it may be wise to apply sooner rather than later
03:38so you apply under the current criteria.
03:41It doesn't mean panic.
03:42It means planning.
03:43It means being ahead, not behind.
03:45It means being proactive, not reactive, and that is why our community here matters.
03:49When major changes come, they come fast, and people who do not stay informed get caught
03:53off guard.
