Thankyou,
Yes precisely .
Utter mayhem and grossly unfair utter mayhem as well.
You will end up with a mixture of people some of whom are clearly deserved who will lose out because they were randomly selected and failed to get an award.Then those who may well remain on indefinite DLA for the next 5 years or more equally deserved but fail to get a PIP award but at least claimed it for longer than my first example

Thankyou,
Yes precisely .Even if 2000 cases are dealt with every day it will still take 24 years to process some 4 to 5 milion people .
Kate Green MP,shadow health minister estimated it would take over 40 years initially when PIP was introduced in 2013.
Even with the ATOS,CAPITA,DWP improvements I agree we still could be talking over 20 years to sort this out. If the Government /DWP do indeed fastback reasssments as they claim, then thus can only mean huge and ongoing unfairness and a system which is not fit for purpose .A system far removed from from the system of one to one interviews,detailed scrutiny b of application forms, a just and fair appeal process involving Tribunal Court Hearings. A pragmatic impossibility. Something will have to give.
I would not like to say what this is
Maybe DLA will be retained for more people. After all DLA will still exist alongside PIP for the over 65s as of April 2013.
Clearly there are going to be winners and losers in what will become a DLA /PIP lottery

Hi JR,

Again, this topic is clearly developing into a discussion, with the same speculative subject matter being reiterated again and again !

As I have already stated, unfortunately, this is not a discussion forum.

Regarding your previous comment in the topic about making an FOI request, you, or anyone else can do so : Here.

I will now lock this topic.
