Application for personal independent payments taking 26 weeks is unacceptable

Additional Information

The delays in changeover from DLA to PIP are causing hardship and hitting the most vulnerable sector of society with processing delays at 26 weeks and more are difficulty in accessing the help line for information.

The government has underestimated the enormity of the issues and ATOS failed miserably. Please vote for an investigation into the delays and why the situation has continued and is not being addressed. This government has taken a sledgehammer to crack a nut and the weakest may go to the wall as a result. Why should vulnerable young adults most of whom cannot speak for themselves and carers be put through the anxiety.
