Scrap PIP Personal Independence Payment &restore DLA Disability Living Allowance
PIP assessments are not fit for purpose. They are especially unfit where non-physical disability predominates. The result is that people who used to qualify under DLA whose condition may actually have deteriorated, are suddenly found not to fit the PIP 'criteria.'
During the Channel 4 programme shown 11.4 2016, various experts agreed with the premise that PIP assessments are not fit for purpose. The assessments are covert, superficial and unfair especially where mental health is the presenting issue. For certain physical disabilities the assessment room is heated to such a high temperature that in itself is an attempt to confound the true picture.
