The only recent project that we are aware of regarding DLA rate checks, is the Rights Payment Programme (RPP) (some say son of BIP) but at a recent meeting, statistical feedback provided from this project, indicated that it was not a negative experience for many. In that 86% of live claims viewed were correct and remained unchanged, 4% received a reduction (reasons not given) and 10% received an increase of rate or component.
Further information provided, indicated that the greatest number of cases (according to disability code) were those associated with "backpain and muscle/joint problems", these codes are the same as ICD 10 DOE from Dept of Health.
Hope this is useful ?
