It appears that PIP may be disposed of and replaced by a new "Additional Costs Disability Payment" - if the government gets its way….
The rates of payment would be higher than PIP but, yet again - lesser numbers of claimants…
How and When this transfer would take place is unknown - but I can see no way of transferring 3 million to it overnight - so how would the "increases" be fairly paid ?
I've never heard of this Commission. Are they well-known, trusted and influencial within our community?
Based on that article, they sound like a Tufton Street "think-tank" to me.
I have absolutely no idea who they are...
I can just about understand how 3 million were transferred from DLA to PIP - With the payments exactly the same - but how would they even start to transfer 2 million (or however many are left) from a lower payment to a higher payment ?
Do they reduce the max payment to the same as enhanced PIP is now - or do they somehow increase EVERYBODY receiving PIP to the same as Additional Cost Disability Payment so everybody entitled receives the same - it would take years/decades to transfer everyone to ACDP as it took years/decades to transfer everyone from DLA to PIP (Still not finished yet)
The commission has finished it's consultation and will publish it's report next month - with it's final proposal the following month !

Start with all new claims and those claims coming up for review. By definition PIP at the most has a 10 max lifespan. So if it takes 10 years then that must be manageable.
The value must be greater than or equal to 1.
