PIP Needs Change, but not this Change

Disability Rights UK ( DRUK )have issued a response to the Government’s decision to halve the points awarded for using aids and adaptations for Activity 5 and Activity 6 in applications for Personal Independence Payments (PIP)from 1 January 2017 . In their response Disability Rights UK (DRUK) state that halving the point value of ‘aids and appliances’ descriptors will make it harder for many disabled people and people with long-term conditions to qualify for PIP in future . DRUK would like to see an assessment which accurately reflects additional costs faced by disabled people. View Statement.

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

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.

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 :)
