Is this latest rewriting of PIP legislation after case law changed by tribunal rulings the second? I know they changed a year ago after the 'consultation' on aids and appliances after tribunals were taking beds etc into account? Is it the second? Its just that, the response to to the Dec15/Jan16 also referred to parity between mental and physical disabilities and, despite negative responses from individuals and disability organisations the DWP changed the point system then. It amazes me that the shadow disability minister and other Labour politicians didn't put the ruling into context so people could understand that when tribunals are doing what they are supposed to do, interpret the law and as a result create new case law, the government responds by changing the goal posts. I did think JC did well at PMQs but politicians don't seem to present the big picture so the general public know what is happening to us. Am I right? is this the second change to PIP as a result of consistent court rulings in the claimants favour? I am putting together an email to my MP, who I am also asking to sign Early Day Motions 985 and 992, but mostly to push the opposition to properly represent and fight for us.
The Government decided not to implement the changes in regard to aids and appliances, this is the first change to the PIP Descriptors since the benefit went live.
