You may have missed another political manoeuvre by Ministers on PIP disability benefits eligibility; yes, they have conceded to a review, but at its any subsequent changes to PIP eligibility do *not* have to come back to the House of Common for a vote...
So once they've 'listened' to disability organisations in the consultation, the Govt. can return to their initially envisaged (callous) cuts without recourse to a vote.
So much for the rebellion's (even partial) victory!
Firstly I would not wish on anyone the circumstances that means they have to claim PIP. But anyone of these politicians or other civil servants who advice / process claims could be struck down tomorrow with a condition that leaves them unable to work and struggle with day to day tasks, while still having to find money for essentials, food, rent, mortgage, cooking etc.
So what would THEY do if they suddently found themselves on the other side of the system.
@zleap @ChrisMayLA6 They’d probably retire on medical grounds on full benefits. They don’t operate in the same world as the poor or disabled.
