DWP currently provides between £114.80 and £737.20 every four-week payment period.
A new Green Paper sets out the proposed reforms the Department for Work and Pensions thinks are needed to improve the welfare support system for 2.6 million working age adults claiming Personal Independence Payment . The proposals include making changes to eligibility criteria for PIP, redesigning the assessment process so that it is more linked to a person’s condition and finding alternatives to regular monthly payments.
PIP was introduced in 2013 to provide non-means tested cash payments to disabled people and those with health conditions to help them live independent lives. PIP was designed to be a contribution to extra costs arising from their disability and be a more sustainable, dynamic benefit that would also pay greater attention to mental health than its predecessor, Disability Living Allowance .
“We also believe there may be better ways of supporting people to live independent and fulfilling lives and this is the idea running through this Green Paper. 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.”
Other forms of support could include health care, social services care provision and respite, which it states are also important to help people to realise their full potential and live independently.
