Hiya Linda and welcome to the Forum .
All of the changes including the DLA changes to Personal Independence Payments are going through the Lords at the moment , and various amendments have been made there already . The Commons might overturn these amendments but time will tell.
A good place to start for background is the Disability Alliance site
here and follow the links for welfare reform and fact sheet for personal independence payments.
Also look at Universal Credit
Worrying times , especially as there is also a huge threat to Legal aid help for Social Welfare Law (employment, Benefits , Housing ,etc) see
here.
There is no doubt that all this reform is nothing more than a huge money saving exercise , and a moving of the line to eligibility and entitlement to benefits that pay more .There is also no doubt that once PIP and Universal Credit are fully implemented that no Government will be able to reverse this since the changes are so drastic.
