The regulatory changes which came into effect on 16<sup>th</sup> March 2017 are intended to restore the original policy intent and as such there will be no impact on those with a physical or mental health condition. In fact, at the latest reporting, <strong>27%</strong> of PIP recipients with a mental health condition get the enhanced rate mobility component, compared to <strong>9%</strong> receiving the higher rate DLA mobility component.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 20/03/2017 15:16:06 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
