Banking surveilance was created by banger
I have perhaps been overthinking the reforms. I am on ESA (contrib) and PIP. I have been disabled since 2000 so 25 years. I have savings from my late parents who saved up out of their pensions.
I know it's a stretch but with the new banking powers and green paper if the DWP decide my illness is not enough to be signed off and I am declared fit for work under the new rules will my historical benefits be regarded as over payments?
If this is the case I can see my savings being wiped out and possibly a house sale if they go back to incapacity benefit times. Seems the doctors, consultants and nurses opinions aren't enough.
I wish I could stop worrying but its part of my illness.
Any ideas?

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

Hi banger
There is nothing to worry about regarding your " historical benefits" as the government cannot retrospectively change the qualifying conditions for Benefits.
