Between the dates of Friday 28th March and Tuesday 1st April, Disability Sheffield suffered a data breach. The Disability Sheffield – Data Breach Document explains what happened, what data was affected, the actions we have taken and what you can do to help mitigate the effects if you were affected.
What do you use your Personal Independent Payment daily living component for? Please let us know in our short anonymous survey.

The survey closes on 25th June. Your participation can make a real difference, thank you
