Government Proposals Form

Interesting. Some questions are a little confusing and I think a completed example would help if at all possible.

I have completed it but I am confused at the last compulsory question asking if you are an individual or organisation supporting pip claimants.
I ticked individual because I did support someone who went on to reueve a successful pip award.

I’ve done it. PIP is the only benefit I get as due to having previously worked all my adult life, and working hard to bring up 3 children, I have tried to convey that I probably wouldnt qualify for any of the voucher etc schemes as they would probably be means tested, and I also feel it would be subjectively discriminatory ( two people can have the same disability and have completed different needs)

Thanks so much for posting this.

I have completed it, although I have to say it is the worst form I have ever seen. The questions in some cases make no sense at all. They clearly are angling to want to take money from PIP claimants and give them vouchers or something instead, which is just humiliating, as if people don't know how to support themselves best.

Anyway, I have completed it, added a little rant about the decimation of any sort of early help services, especially for mental health. Not that I think it will make any difference, but we will see!

I totally agree, and the people carrying out these assessments at the very best of times appear to be far removed from the reality of how people are affected both mentally and physically.The idiots thinking of changing the welfare system to pay for their incompetence are storing up more financial woes not just for claimants and taxpayers', but the economy in general. Administering these changes to the PIP system will be vast, and at great cost. We can only hope it takes then an age to implement if they do. This idea of vouchers is the worse idea they have come up and unworkable for very many people. People who are diet specific, rely upon Taxis, etc, etc. Have t buy special purpose clothing, toiletries. Sooner they call a GE the better.
