What changed for 2026/27
The proposed 4-point rule (which would have required claimants to score at least 4 points on a single Daily Living activity to qualify) was REMOVED from the Bill before enactment, after a Commons rebellion led by Labour backbenchers. Your award is calculated under unchanged 2026/27 rules.
The Act split the UC health element into a protected legacy rate (£429.80/month in 2026/27) for existing LCWRA claimants and a lower rate (£217.26/month) for new claims from 6 April 2026. PIP rates and descriptors are unchanged.
