More than 16,000 people responded to an online consultation proposing changes to PIP and other benefits.
The Department for Work and Pensions has said that proposed changes to Personal Independence Payment outlined in a recent consultation have been met with “mixed” and for some, “consistently negative” responses by the pubic. The latest figures from the DWP show that claims for PIP are now at an all-time high, with over 3.6 million people across Great Britain receiving financial support of up to £737.20 every month.
In a written reply to the Dundee Central MP earlier this week, Minister for Social Security and Disabilities, Sir Stephen Timms MP, explained how more than 16,000 responses were received during the 12-week consultation period which closed on July 22. Mr Timms added: “We will be setting out our own plans for social security in due course and will fulfil our continued commitment to work with disabled people so that their views and voices are at the heart of all that we do.”
