I thought MN's might be interested to see how "they" are cutting disabled benefits. Son 24 has severe autism and lives in supported living. He has received DLA since the age of 4 or 5 and is in the support group for esa which means he is not required to work. Has just been changed to PIP and given 0 points, a drop of £320 a month. So now his family, his Carers and Social Workers are going to have to fight for him. Letters cancelling his direct debits will have to be written (he can't write) because there might not be enough money in his bank account to pay all his bills. The council will have to do a reassessment to reduce his contribution towards his supported accommodation. His GP needs to be called and will probably prescribe meds because son is now a wreck. Any future dwp assessments will now require home visits, there is 0 chance of ever getting him to another one. For one of the PIP evidences we used Social Care Report. And here is a few examples of they did it: Social Care - son has an inability to manage and plan bus journey's unaided. PIP decision - I decided you can plan and follow the route of a journey unaided. Social Care - without care support in situ son would be at risk of self neglect. Will only wash every 2-3 days. PIP decision - you wash daily and dress in clean clothing. Social Care - reports on anxiety when going out. PIP decision - you report anxiety going out, however you do not take medication for anxiety. And the whole letter is like this. WTF????!!!!
