If you claim PIP or range of other benefits, you can now check online to find out when your next payment is due & how much you will receive. The service also shows payments made during the previous 3 months & could save you call to PIP helpline.

Disgusting gutter journalism on Sky this morning. Comparing the size of the army to the small amount of young people (less than 6%) on pip with the implication Disabled people are holding back defence spending. I hope what they pay is worth it @ayeshahazarika. @InclusionLondon
ALT Image shows presenter pointing to a chart with figures for armed forces 180000 and younger people on PIP 420000. Yvette Cooper listens.

#CarersAllowance
The first progress report by the DWP on reviewing carer’s allowance cases that may have been affected by misleading guidance reveals that, at current rates of progress, it will take 40 years to work through them all.

Helen Whately claims that one in six PIP recipients “confess” to having no additional disability costs.
They answered a survey, Helen, they didn’t admit to a crime.
She has taken a nuanced Resolution Foundation report and twisted it into another attack on disabled people, while ignoring evidence showing how PIP enables claimants to live independently and participate in everyday life.
Suspicion dressed up as serious policy is still suspicion.
