Suitable for:       All What does this mean?

The government has published its Green Paper outlining significant changes to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Universal Credit (UC):  but what does this mean for you and the people you support?

Some of these changes are non-negotiable and could be implemented as early as May, with new legislation expected before Parliament’s session ends on 21 July.

The potential impact is significant: up to 1.2 million people could lose between £4,200 and £6,300 per year by 2029-30 due to PIP cuts alone.
