As you may be aware the government wants to make some big changes to our benefit system in the UK. One of the biggest to be changed is to move from the Disability Living Allowance (DLA) to the new Personal Independence Payments (PIP) for disabled people aged 16-64.
Attached is the latest bulletin from DWP which includes information on how PIP’s are going to be implemented and some tools to help parents and support organisations to see how the benefit changes will affect disabled people and their families.
You can also find more information on how the benefit changes might affect you on our website ‘making sense of the benefit changes guide’
You can also contact our helpline on 0808 808 355 and we can help with any information need or queries you might have about how the benefit changes might affect you and your family.
Best wishes
