Home Welfare Carers and disability benefits. Press release Thousands of pensioners to benefit from PIP assessment overhaul. Work and Pensions Secretary Amber Rudd said: I want the benefit system to be a source of support for disabled people, not a source of worry.
Minister for Disabled People Justin Tomlinson said: I want to ensure we live in a fair and decent society in which all of us, whatever age or ability, have an equal chance to live a fulfilling life. The changes will benefit pensioners whose personal circumstances are unlikely to change.

The DWP calculates the maximum amount of Universal Credit by adding together a standard list of allowances and elements.
These are the basic amounts which the law says you need to live on. As your earnings rise, your Universal Credit reduces at a constant rate once you earn more than your work allowance. Work out if you are eligible for a work allowance entitledto. Contact your local council GOV.
If your hours vary, you may need to provide payslips. If you go over these limits, you will need to claim Universal Credit. The outcome of your most recent Work Capability Assessment should still apply if there is no gap between your claims.

I suffer with a number of conditions that is leaving me struggle with my full time job. I am at a stage where I don't think I can carry on but at the same time I know I can't afford not to work.
I just find it a little bit hypocritical that all of you are suddenly on the bandwagon for yourselves. How about remember all the other thousands that have been turned down for PIP. Yes bring back DLA and stop picking on the week in our society. Maybe we should think about reducing the pay we give MPs and members of the house of Lords. Say the N. In , I was diagnosed with , primary systemic necrotising vasculitis , with MPA , anca.
Nearly killed me was saved , and now take chemotherapy tablets , plus several others , I was assessed , and placed on low rate for pip , my condition still deteriorates , but I have always felt cheated , especially as I was referred to an x cancer nurse , who had never heard of this condition , I am 1 of many silent sufferers , but these assessor a should be asked to , justify a decision , about something they clearly know nothing about , and I sympathise with suffrers of rare and unknown illness , whom probably as i do feel , this system should quickly be resolved , and dignity given back to people who , through no fault of there own have ended up on state benefits.
I would gladly applaud any change , brought on by your campaigning , hat's off to all involved , Regards me A Gregory.
Reinstate DLA and get rid of pip it's just another way for tories to take money of disabled, I was receiving dla and dwp said I was to apply for pip, I have got a muscle wasting disorder, obviously your heart and lungs are a muscle, so I won't live to a great age, as there is no cure for this,I got pip the lady said I would get it backdated to my dla,and be on pip for life,I received my pip never got it back dated and I got it for 3 years and I lost the first month, so next year iv got to go through the same thing all over again as if I'm not suffering enough without going through this every 3 years that's even if I get it.
For years I have tried to find a 'force' that actually cared about this and, other than The Black Triangle - who put quite an effort into our rights - I have found none.
My full-term, degenerative, PPMS has been added to a huge amount by this inhumane government and not one single political party has shown significant opposition to the 'Euthanasia by the back door' being led by the May.
We are getting to a point where no-one has ANY say in our laws and rules, and the government are becoming dangerously untouchable - even by the United Nations. What incentive have the young to actually work? I did so and was encouraged by my children to draw on it once I couldn't teach any more but now it's likely to be withdrawn. My family have all worked their whole lives, my parents died early and unexpectedly and never had the chance to draw any back , many relatives the same and I have an 'indefinite' life span with 2 Chronic illnesses which I didn't cause PPMS and COPD.
I'm far from being the worst case!!! I was diagnosed with PD ten years ago and have had two spine operations all documented. I recently had an interview by a nurse! So the obvious move is move on to the next sufferer.
Robert Conelley. We'll what else can you expect from the nasTy party. Get them out no point complaining if you did not vote and leave others to try a waste vote goes to the greater vote.
Use your vote stop sitting g at home saying you cannot be bothered then complain when this happens. This is the nasty party. Vote and use your vote. PIP should be banned. Instead of attacking disabled and cutting them off leaving them without support they should focus on supporting them even more!
Pip is all a con they are scum only worried about giving to Asians in Birmingham my father has live threaten disease not been well had 3 strokes and told he is fit for work even with dementia.
They only want to stop people's money not interested in people they need to scrap pip tossers. There does need to be a system in place to assess people on a regular basis. How do we know if someone's condition improves and are no longer in need of the extra money or deteriorates to the point they may qualify for increased support payment? Giving someone DLA for life for a bad back or depression that resolved or improved with treatment 20 years ago but It may not be a perfect system but people need to realise that when the government offers money to support disabled people there will be a lot of people who lie to get it and go on living off the welfare state.
Those with true disability should not resent coming to one assessment every year or 2 to be assessed to continue receiving money to support them. I think it is about time the people were given some true statistics on the number of frauds out there I say l. I have had my pip assessment I had enhanced mobility but since I had pip assessment I have no went down to the lower limit. I cant walk more than 20 metres but they fill in answers I never said they fill in different questions without telling you what they have done.
I need someone with me at all times as I am prone to be falling.
