Well if that happens I can't see why DLA was closed down.

This will never happen. It goes against the intention of why PIP was brought out - regular intervals for re-assessment.

A bit of silly nonsense - Make everyone with a lifetime disability, mental or physical, have life time PIP - I am a type 1 diabetic which is (unless I am very lucky and am given a transplant) a lifetime disability - should all type 1 diabetics be given a permanent and lifelong PIP award?

I think they shoukd have either a separate section for mental health .or some mental health professionals. As I feel mental health is treated extremely poorly in the p.i.p system .

I think the petition is a great idea .but honestly it's too big a criteria .but good luck with it

Personally I feel they wouldent jump from barely acknowledging mental health .too awarding lifetime .sadly .hope I'm proved wrong I really do .something needs too give .Yes definitely as people are looking there lives etc .I feel quite passionately about mental health  if there was so way of getting the government too acknowledge it .I'm definitely in !.I have no clue how this night happen though x

It does seem that there are a huge amount of people with varying mental health conditions more so than physical that seen too get it .would be interested too see the figures .ive got alot if physical issues but manage too get points needed but mental health in my case has been played down I feel.luckily I haven't needed too appeal the descriptor. But the principal it and u see in others frequently on here makes me passionate about it .Not for just myself

I think that if you worked and was given company pension or told that you were no longer fit for work and this was then handed to the benfits office before you could claim  benfits this would give you a starting block 
i worked for RHM for overly 2o years I got full pension and was told I never be able to work again then way do the Dwp say  otherwise I had to pass 2 drs wait 10 months and see a dr about my metal health I also had to go in to work onnce a month to see if I was ok 
If you had a disbliliy from birth this should be taken in account and given points before you get there ones  gives us a life
we don’t want the moon we want to eat well homes that are heated care to help us sorry NHS but if we don’t get the Help we need from the DWP we end up with more for the NHS

The question that you should ask is - would what you are suggesting cost the country more money than it currently pays out for PIP?

You have to remember that PIP was brought in simply to cut the then level of spending on DLA by 20%.

With that in mind would your suggestion meet that target of spending?

Yes, but contrary to the original post, 100,000 were needed not 10,000 so it fell well short and in the context of 6m disabled people of working age (the ones impacted by PIP) that’s 0.6% of those who could have voted. Kinda tells you it was not the right question.

It doesn’t finish till November 2018

And you tell me to read posts properly, what you wrote about ‘silly’ could of been taken two ways.
