<p>The Department is committed to continuously improving our assessment and decision
making processes and to ensuring that decisions on Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
are right first time for all claimants, regardless of their condition. PIP is working
better for those with a visual impairment compared to the previous benefit, Disability
Living Allowance (DLA). Under DLA, 5% of all those with a visual impairment were receiving
the top level of support at the end of May 2013, whereas under PIP 63% of recipients
are currently receiving the highest rates.</p><p> </p><p>Notes:</p><p>DLA and PIP
