answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2017 answer text <p>In line with our existing programme of continuous improvement we have recently made changes to the PIP Assessment Guide in relation to safety and supervision which may impact on those with conditions which affect consciousness such as epilepsy.</p><p> </p><p>Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is more modern, dynamic and fair than its predecessor, Disability Living Allowance (DLA), and focuses support on those experiencing the greatest barriers to living independently. As PIP is a different benefit to DLA with different assessment criteria, we would expect to see some variation between outcomes for different disabling conditions. Additionally, many DLA claimants have not undergone any kind of assessment of their needs for several years and their condition, treatment or therapy and needs arising from their condition may have changed substantially.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 21/12/2017 14:03:06 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
