Many people within the UK have been concerned about the changes in the assessment for Disability Living Allowance......but it looks like there is a delay in the changes! There has been a lot of campaigning against the new benefit system that is being introduced as many people are worried that they will no longer fit the criteria for mobility/care rates of benefit that they currently receive under the stricter rules.
Work and pensions minister Mike Penning said reassessing people was "taking longer than expected", but introducing the scheme "gradually" was beneficial.
And now more worry for claimants....
But charities and campaigners have argued it is unfair that millions of vulnerable people face a long period of anxiety while they wait to find out if their benefits are to be cut or withdrawn.
