Government proposal to abolish PIP for disabled people with mental health conditions
Don't take away the cash element of Personal Independence Payment (PIP) whether for those with mental health related conditions or for physical disabilities. A statement from the Work and Pensions Minister was expected on 7 October 202, but she said nothing about it. It will be in the Budget.
Why is this important?
This is important because thousands, if not millions of people depend on this benefit to maintain themselves. The Modernizing Support Green Paper also proposes changes to the Work Capability Assessment that denies those with mobility or mental health issues extra Universal Credit.
