The independent organisation Benefits and Work takes a close look at the current public consultation launched on Personal Independence Payments. This consultation is aimed at slashing the number of people eligible for the daily living component of personal independence payment (PIP) by up to 35%. The cuts will be aimed at claimants who qualify for PIP because of their use of aids and appliances and may include replacing awards with discretionary voucher payments.
