answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2014 answer text <p /> <p /> <p>Personal independence payment (PIP) includes a more objective assessment process than for Disability living allowance (DLA), with a face-to-face consultation for most applicants, that enables a more accurate and consistent assessment of individual need. 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
