Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessment consultation
Members might remember that just under a year ago they made a substantial contribution to ASBAH/SHINE's response to the consultation on plans for replacing Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for people age 16-64, with Personal Independence Payments (PIPs) which came from the Department of Work & Pensions (DWP).
Since that time the plans for how PIPs will work have continued to develop to the point where DWP have just issued a new consultation. This asks disabled people and the organisations that represent and support them to comment on major elements of how the new benefit might work.
Please contribute to Shine's response.
Shine will be submitting a response to this consultation, reflecting the views and issues faced by Shine members as a result of the Government proposal and we'd like to hear from you.
