Reform to Disability Living Allowance
The government have recently announced proposals to replace Disability Living Allowance (DLA) with a new benefit – Personal Independence Payment. The Personal Independence Payment will continue to be a non-means tested, extra costs benefit. It will help disabled people remove the barriers they face to leading full and independent lives. This consultation asks for views to inform our policy for reforming DLA and introducing a new objective assessment. The consultation applies to England, Wales and Scotland. The new proposals are currently in the consultation stage and you can have your say on the matter by visiting http://www.dwp.gov.uk/consultations/2010/dla-reform.shtml The consultation is aimed primarily at disability organisations and disabled people, but we would like to hear from anybody who is interested.
