DWP bosses are 'looking again at ensuring government support is focused where it is most needed'
A bold new plan from the Department for Work and Pensions could see people who claim Personal Independence Payment given vouchers instead of cash.
But proposed alternatives in the "Modernising support for independent living: the health and disability Green Paper" outline a move away from a fixed monthly cash transfer system, which includes vouchers, a receipts system, one-off grants and making purchases for products or services through a catalogue scheme, as reported by the Daily Record.
"This could mean financial support being better targeted at people who have specific extra costs, but it could also involve improved support of other kinds, such as physical or mental health treatment, leading to better outcomes.”
