Today i got an email form work regarding the new PIP (Personal Independent Payments) system that is coming in to play to take over the current system of DLA (Disability Living Allowance).
In 2012 three million people claimed DLA. It is expected by 2018 that 600,000 less people will be eligible for PIP. This statistic is scary; those who con the system and claim DLA in a fraudulent way will no longer be able to do so. But it also means the cases that are genuine will have to work harder to prove they are genuine.
Above is a link for a guide by Disability Rights UK that explains the PIP form and application process in a non alien way. The guide is detailed but easy to read and is broken down into sections.
the booklet itself is in PDF format to read online however, they can do a paper copy and post it out to you for a cost of £4. It is a handy guide to have and one i will be obtaining for myself.
