From DLA To PIP

[poliphilo]

Ailz has received her letter about the transition from DLA to PIP. We've been bracing ourselves for an official going-over ever since the change was announced but we're now informed that long-established cases like Ailz's won't be due for re-assessment until 2015 at the earliest. It gives us a breathing space. By the time they turn their attention our way I'll be on the brink of drawing my pension. Besides, a lot can happen in two years- a change of government for instance.

I'm dreading the change to PIP but I'm led to believe that mum's assessment will be in 2015 as well, which will help. She's also past retirement age which gives us another level of uncertainty as no one seems to know what will happen.

When Ailz got her award- in the mid 90s- we were given to understand it was for life. Then along comes this present government and says "Oh, no it ain't".

Yes, exactly the same here.
