    I work in a care home, with societies most vulnerable people... many of whome cant itch their own nose, feed themselves or clean their own bums.... every month we are dealing with residents that have had their funding pulled as apparently they no longer require it... like they miraculously became mobile. The system is completely flawed... as soon as all the money from a residents home has been swallowed up in care fees the resident somehow no longer requires the highest level of support. I have no doubt that the DWP has worked tirelessly these past 18 months but as for the government.... the problem is exactly that... nothing has changed.... only 43% of pip claims are actually successful without going to an MR. The other 57% have an uphill battle to try to prove their case after already suffering from what ever problems they already have. The system isnt designed for us... it's designed for them and to keep as much cash in their coffers as possible. Unfortunately the people on the other end of the DWP phones bare the brunt of it.
