Non means tested disability benefits - changes from Autumn 2026?

Dear Forum,
Is anyone aware of any non means tested disability benefits becoming means tested from the Governments welfare review Autumn 2026?
Appreciate that the Government can decide to change the eligibility at any time but just wondered if in the forthcoming review these changes are planned?
Thank you in advance.

    Nope  -  PIP will remain NMT !
