A testament to what can be achieved through sustained campaigning and partnership working, brain injury charity Headway has managed to get the DWP to acknowledge their ‘brain injury card’.

This FOI response confirms that DWP has published stand alone guidance on the card, including instructions to staff to log details on the PIPCS Person case notes and pass those details onto assessment providers.

Well done Headway! Would be interesting to see if it makes a tangible difference to PIP claimants who have the card…
