    UK: Disability benefits (UC, ESA and PIP) - news and updates 2024 and 2025

    Maybe it was around lucky timing @Kitty. i was under the impression from looking into it for a relative that they have a fixed pot every year as the council in that area closed applications until they got the next year’s pot.

    UK: Disability benefits (UC, ESA and PIP) - news and updates 2024 and 2025

    Others will probably have actual experience of this and maybe I’m wrong but the proposal around changing to vouchers to help with adaptations doesn’t appear in any event to be something new because the Disabled Facilities Grant already exists.

    Yes I was thinking oh he’s going to say showering or brushing teeth. But no. He needs to see the videos. When I was still on Twitter I followed Andrew G he seems like a decent bloke.

    The minister didn’t actually say it wouldn’t be before the election, they could go right to January in theory so later this year would be before that. The inference I drew from between the lines of his comments is that the consultation has thrown up more issues than politicians and civil...

    Yeah I was involved in commissioning a couple of pieces of qualitative research for the department I worked for to find out real people’s experiences of complaining about dealing with us, and also asking a range of disabled people what their issues were with the service we were or weren’t...
