PIP 4 points for care was created by rjstone
Im very sorry if this has been asked many times. I am severely depressed. My only income is PIP at high rates and a small amount of contribution based ESA.
Is the 4 point rule set in stone and a definite thing. Or are they still consulting on it and is there any chance at all of this being changed?
I really need to know this for my mental health is suffering

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

Hi rjstone,
I believe that the proposals have been put forward for this - but the certainty of it actually happening in November 2026 - I'm not sure. If you look on the tab above that says PIP/UC changes, you can take the new test to see if you'll lose out. Remember, mobility isn't affected and you only need 1 topic at 4 points with the daily living, but a minimum of 8 points must still be met.
Lots of us are feeling the same way in relation to this - and many are likely to lose out, including myself.

The government website reports the following:
The change to PIP scoring would still not take effect until November 2026, but the law enabling it could be firmly in place very much sooner. For the limited range of proposals which are being consulted on, a White Paper will be published later this year with legislation to follow.
