The reform of disability living allowance (DLA) will mean that DLA will be replaced by a personal independence payment (PIP) for those of working age from April 2013.
In December 2010 the DWP published a consultation document on the reform of DLA which sought views on the Government‘s proposals to replace working age DLA with a new benefit – Personal Independence Payment. The closing date for responses to the consultation was 18th February 2011.
Disability Alliance (now part of Disability Rights UK) responded to this consultation. You can view this response below:
