DWP plans drawn up by the previous government have been consulted on
Department for Work and Pensions plans to replace Personal Independence Payment with vouchers could be scrapped by the new government. New DWP Minister for Social Security and Disabilities Sir Stephen Timms MP said there have been more than 16,000 responses to the 'Modernising support for independent living: the health and disability green paper'. Changes, put forward by the previous Conservative government , included swapping cash PIP payments of up to £737.
However, the vast number of responses and vocal objections from charities and organisations to the proposed changes could indicate an overwhelming number of negative comments recited in the consultation, which the new Labour government surely cannot ignore. Ten charities and organisations have written to the Labour government urging them to scrap the proposals.
