The Labour Government is currently considering 16,000 responses to proposed PIP and welfare reform changes outlined in an online consultation.
People on Personal Independence Payment could find out this Autumn whether the Labour Government will follow through on welfare reforms put forward by the Conservatives earlier this year. During the Department for Work and Pensions oral questions session in Parliament on Monday, several ministers confirmed that the 'Get Britain Working' White Paper will be published this Autumn and will reshape the welfare system in an effort to get 80 per cent of the country in work.
Proposed alternatives in the Green Paper outline a move away from a fixed monthly cash payment system, which includes vouchers, a receipts system, one-off grants and making purchases for products or services through a catalogue scheme. There are a few simple things all 3.6m people currently claiming PIP can start doing now to help protect their award, and more importantly, payments from any future changes to the disability benefit.
Latest Benefits News Keeping a diary is one of the most important tools all disability benefit claimants should keep, and it doesn’t need to be a paper-based document. Using your mobile phone, computer, laptop or tablet can be a simple way to make notes of ‘bad days’ and recording key moments when something relating to your condition happened.
