<p>We have no plans to do so. Entitlement to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is
based on the effects of disability on a person's life and not on any particular or
specific disability, illness or treatment received. The PIP assessment is designed
to treat all health conditions and impairments fairly, including for those with renal
or kidney disease. If someone is found to be entitled to PIP they can continue to
receive the benefit whether they are in or out of work.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The
Government provides a range of employment support for disabled people or people with
health conditions that affect the way they work, such as: Access to Work, which offers
financial awards to pay for additional support beyond an employer’s statutory duty
to make reasonable adjustments; Work Choice, which provides tailored support to help
unemployed disabled people enter and retain work; and Specialist Employability Support,
which focuses on helping disabled people who need intensive, specialist support to
either enter work or engage in employment related courses or activities.</p><p> </p>
