Hi all ...

Just minutes ago a statement was released by Esther McVey MP, Minister for Disabled People

"Oral statement on Personal Independence Payment"


Eeek .. but the devil will be in the detail as always

Hi Rich, do you know what "mirroring the linking rules for DLA – helping ensure continuity for people with fluctuating conditions" means here? A bit confused but suspect it might be relevant for those with RA.

Hiya Naomi , ....
yes i should have followed that up with all the responses from disability organisations such as :

http://thehardesthit.wor...yment-pip-announcement/

http://www.disabilityrig...notalifestylechoice.htm

and papers :

http://www.independent.c...ther-mcvey-8413498.html



A good few guides on the DWP site :

But the best mix of info at probably the right level is on the adviser pages here

http://www.dwp.gov.uk/po...formation-for-advisers/
Especially the powerpoint presentation and the claimant journey and the quick guide to PIP.

In fact anything dated from the 13th Dec 2012.

The claimants own guide is pitifully poor at present .

https://www.gov.uk/pip

I will update as and when , but a lot of the detail is not actually on the statute books yet


Rich :)
