Experts propose new benefit to replace PIP here's what it would look like

"A new benefit that would replace the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) for millions of people in the UK has been proposed by a panel of independent experts. Claimed by 3.7 million people, PIP is one of the main health or disability-related benefits that can be accessed in the UK. It is designed to help with extra living costs for those who have a long-term physical or mental illness that affects their ability to do everyday tasks or get around."

"The benefit was at the centre of Labour's proposed 4bn in welfare cuts earlier this year, until fierce criticism and a backbench rebellion forced ministers to partly relent on the plans. Proposed by the Commission for Social Security, the Additional Costs Disability Payment' would offer a radical alternative to the current system, which has long drawn criticism from campaigners for being long-winded and inaccessible. It would offer a constructive, workable alternative to PIP, its report claims, overhauling the current deeply flawed system."
