Hi all,

 

Please see this about PIP. help make a callenge to this [problem] that the DWP are doing.

 

Challenging Personal Independent Payments mobility reduction to 20 metres.

 

From Rightsnet,

 

Leigh Day solicitors and human rights barristers from Doughty Street Chambers have advised campaigners that the lowering of the distance criteria for Personal Independence Payments mobility from 50 metres to 20 metres could be unlawful. They are considering how to challenge the regulations. To do so, of course, they need claimants whose circumstances make them suitable candidates to participate in such a challenge. For the best prospect of success, the barristers have set the following criteria (some essential, some desirable):

Come on people lets fight this:wink:

It is only a draft version which apparently has been modified again back to 50 metres. However this could change again before it is implemented.

Yet, apparently, if you're ex-service personnel, you can get full PIP (mobility and care) without having to meet the criteria. Disgusting.

 

Isn't the 20m only draft and hasn't been set in stone yet?

I don't see what's wrong with 20m.

 

It's more than enough to get to the front door to answer to the bailiffs - and if you have a bigger house than that ..., well you shouldn't be on benefits in the first place.

Sorry bankfodder,

 

That's not realy helpfull and i thought you new better..LOL

But it won't get you around the supermarket. Correct me if I'm wrong; but aren't some disabled parking bays further than 20m from the parking space to the shop?

 

You also wouldn't be able to work for the above reason and would have to claim ESA, which would possibly cost more.

Distinctly says "Draft Social Legislation" so not set in stone so would be foolish to challenge it at this point. I notice our MP is at the top of the list. According to her votes in parliament she toes the party line and not what the people want, so will not be voting for her in the next election!

As stated many disabled people including myself can probably walk the 20m but it is repeating that is when it becomes a problem and I am completely exhausted.

I think someone posted a link on here which said if you can't repeat it, you qualify. Same as it is now.

That is mentioned in the draft document which is why I am not sure why the OP wants to challenge it?
