(UKPA) – 1 hour ago

Ministers are scrapping the disability living allowance handout for two million people of working age and replacing it with the PIP which will involve an individual assessment in a bid to cut down on overpayments.

However amid wrangling as the Welfare Reform Bill went through Parliament earlier this year, the Department of Work and Pensions agreed to stagger its introduction.
