The Minister for Disabled People, Health and Work, Sarah Newton, said:
We’re absolutely determined to ensure people get the right support that they need to live better, more comfortable lives.
PIP is a needs-based benefit that takes into consideration people’s individual, and sometimes quite complicated circumstances.
We’ve listened to feedback from organisations and the public, and this common-sense change will ensure that the right protections are in place while minimising any unnecessary stress or bureaucracy.
The government will be working with stakeholders to design the light touch review process so that it adds value for both our claimants and the department – for example, by providing information on services available and ensuring that contact or bank details have not changed.
We are still finalising details of the guidance and will publish it later this summer.

At one time I was a very positive individual - surprise! - but now with everything that I have been through - failure of the NHS, closing down a purpose built Mental Health Day Centre attached to the hospital and changing it to a Minor Injuries Clinic, waiting months to see a consultant - the DWP who never reply to letters or answer the telephone, and who are intent on making my life almost impossible with repeat failings to issue decisions that are based on fact and not the fiction of an assessor I am now a cynic and see no truth or action in what the government say they will do.feir said:I'm cynical too. Everything they say is a lie and they say it just to shut people up so they quietly go away and don't get the support they need.
Username_removed said:Guidance due at the end of the Summer allegedly but you can force this now by asking for an ongoing award on claim packs: MR forms and SCS1 appeal forms rather than assuming they’ll notice your condition is permanent, degenerative etc.
You have to consider the political arena. No politician or government is going to want to alienate their party by doing something that their voters will revolt against.Waylay said:They won't listen to disabled people, no matter how much we demonstrate and write and send petitions. We've been doing all these things for 8 years, and it hasn't worked. Basically, we need to be the new Windrush folks. Once the public heard about how the gov't were treating them, they kicked up such a fuss that the gov't had to change what they were doing.Unfortunately. as you say, a good chunk of the public believe the lies about us. Some of the public just don't care. The rest know what's going on, think it's terrible, but they don't do anything about it. My FB friends read my posts and say things like, "My god, this is just evil! I'm so sorry that you're going through this!" They've lent me money, etc., which I'm very grateful for, but they're almost all wealthy, employed, able, male, white, etc. They would be listened to, if enough of them spoke up, but.... They don't.
