Government in Talks with Leading Disability Charities on Fairness of PIP

The DWP Minister has publicly offered to hold talks with Disability Rights UK and the Disability Benefits Consortium following a House of Lords debate on 4 May 2016. Disability Rights UK (DRUK) has stated that their preferred option “would be that the enhanced rate of PIP be awarded to all those who now and in the future cannot reliably walk up to 50 metres.” DRUK went on to say that “given the agreement for talks, we call on the Minister to publish detailed breakdowns of those not being awarded PIP enhanced mobility so that all discussions can be fully informed.” View article.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.
