Unlike DLA, eligibility for PIP is not assessed on the type of health condition or impairment an individual may have.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 08/07/2014 14:19:38 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
