PIP CHANGES

Fantastic news from the government that if you are over 66 you will not be reassessed from this spring being 67 myself i am more than happy after going through 2 tribunals.

This is very good news for us in the pension age range.
Rudd is due to make announcement, at an event hosted by Scope, later today.
This will take 270,000 older claimants out of the process, perhaps helping to speed up the process for other claimants.
Still no news on changes to “light touch” reassessment, for those on ten year awards.
I hope the upper ranks at Scope, give Rudd a true view of what this community thinks of the DWP and the PIP process.
Not sure if you are transferring from DLA to PIP when over 66 i would imagine you will not have to go through an assessment but that will be in the small print later today
AT 2PM TODAY ON THE PARLIAMENT CHANNEL.
il let you know tomorrow when after the dust drops what was said
