A suitably glowing review for this exemplary new benefit.

No doubt the DWP will have been deluged with ‘thank you’ cards from waiting PIP claimants who have been given the opportunity to develop alternative coping strategies during the waiting time and fully explore all the free, community resources out there, like food banks, thereby maximising their economic choices and increasing their resilience and choice.

A brilliant summary. I BELIEVE it to be true.

Interesting - claimant has complained to her MP about PIP delay. He says he cannot get a result any quicker than could she.

He is a member of the Cabinet.

Which, if he is the former coal miner, could be unfortunate as he may just need it himself one day

I can make myself rubbish at my job for a payrise like this.
