Scope has submitted its response to the Government’s consultation on the assessment for the Personal Independence Payment (PIP), which will replace Disability Living Allowance next year.

Earlier this year, the Welfare Reform Bill became an Act and this means that all the changes to welfare benefits set out in the Bill will become law. Some changes like the time-limiting of Employment and Support Allowance have already come into effect; others, like the abolition of DLA and the introduction of PIP won’t happen until next year.
