Hey guys

I hadn't realised that a few people on here didn't know that DLA would be changing and called PIP from 2013.

Above is a link to a comprehensive document about the new PIP and how it will work (or should I say how it will try to screw us out of anything we may be entitled to - sorry I'm a cynic!).

    Thanks Fols, I think this is one link we should keep bumping up so everyone on here gets to know.

    Good idea Linda. It's something that's going to affect a huge number of us.

    Very interesting read.

    I love the way they make it sound as if they are on our side and that they have our interest at heart.

    Call me a cynic but I dont believe a word of it :lol:
