Anyone with experience of the Personal Independence Payment system is invited to have their say
The UK government has launched a consultation to replace the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) with the Additional Costs Disability Payment, aiming to create a fairer and more dignified system. The Commission on Social Security, funded by the Trust for London, is spearheading this initiative. The new benefit seeks to expand eligibility, focusing on specific needs like personal care and mobility, and could be granted for life without reassessment. This consultation is part of the government's broader plan to reform the health and disability benefits system, with a green paper expected in the spring, aiming to counterbalance potential cuts to disability benefits.
