I don't like this at all.

You can bet your bottom dollar it's not for our benefit.

Nothing they do is.

So, now we have yet another overhaul , first from dla to pip and now this, wonder what it will cost to implement this ? But then I guess if they are going to squeeze us further it will pay for itself.

Also,to make it fair, why aren't they notifying All of those in receipt of pip about the online survey.

I Smell more BS coming our way. Hope I'm proven wrong.

Wish they'd left dla as it was.

This is a survey by an organisation made up of people with lived experience of the system.

They are nothing to do with making Government policy or the upcoming Green Paper.

They feedback to the Government about any official proposals just like Scope and other charities/focus groups do.

The new rate for PIP will be £110.40 for enhanced daily living and £77.05 for enhanced mobility. £73.90 for standard daily living and £29.20 for standard mobility.

No this isn't coming from the Government. In no way official Government policy.

Just a third party organisation like Scope are. The survey & proposal is an idea the group had

I'm still on DLA (for life since a child) I keep dreading getting a letter to move to PIP. in one way 8 hope if we do migrate to another new benefit instead of PIP it just "carries over" as it does say "for life with no reassessments".

when my mum had pip assessments and everyone else inknow.its been nothing but problems and even a friend who had cancer and severe brain injury has to be assessed every 3 years even though its a life long condition!

I won't be able to cope with that!

But I'm very skeptical and doubt the new benefit proposal will be beneficial.
