No, I think high mobility should be available for AA claimants.

There will be a standard mobility component and an enhanced mobility component of PIP http://www.dwp.gov.uk/docs/personal-independence-payment-faqs.pdf
So 2 components just like the current DLA

Currently, yes, there are just two mobility components, Low and Higher. Do you think people who get Lower Rate Mobility now will -- subject to a medical examination, of course -- get Standard Rate Mobility PIP, paid at around the same rate as LR DLA?

I get LR for both components of DLA.

This is a lifeline for me. When the change to PIP comes, I have little doubt that they will be rejecting most LR DLA claimants. Without my DLA/PIP I will be unable to get out and do my own shopping. Yet amother piece of independence and self-respect dragged away from me.

I'm already living a life of stress as I await the changeover from IB to ESA. (I have never had any paperwork for my IB or DLA and have no idea of renewal dates....I just send in sick/fit notes every six months or so....which means I have absolutely no idea when I'm due to be called)

My claim is genuine, and it took me ages to get my entitlement. I get frustrated at the way that the goalposts are being constantly changed.

From 2013 - 2015 there will effectively be two systems running in tandem.

timetable is:

October 2013 and April 2014, 1/2 a million new claimants will receive universal credit in place of jobseeker's allowance, employment and support allowance, housing benefit, working tax credit and child tax credit at that same time phase one will put a~n~other 1/2 a million existing claimants + / partners and dependants, ) will move on to universal credit unless significant change / birth of a new child.


April 2014, phase two will give prioritise households who 'benefit most from the transition' / working tax credit claimants who currently work a small number of hours a week but 'could work more hours with the support that universal credit brings' Altogether 3.5 million existing claimants will be transferred onto universal credit during this second phase.


Dec 2015 - 2017 another 3 million households transferred to universal credit by local authority boundary with a focus on safeguarding financial support, such as housing benefit payments to claimants as the old benefit system winds down.

Their new right to work law comes in [ no available jobs in the economy though ] but along with it is the right to be made to work [ Workfare first tried by Maggie ] here the claimant signs an agreement / formal signed statement agreeing to both requirements of him / herself and penalties [ withdrawal of benefits under the 1985 German YTS / ET Model ] like I said bad .. .. .. times ahead.

May God bring good health to your enemies enemies .. .. nite nite

Only the most seriously disabled people will get PIP once the change to DLA takes place the rest will have to make do with ESA until the Universal Credit takes its place.

But beware many people will find themselves in the same unfortunate position as this man from Bridport and get no money at all- too sick to work but denied support but not fit enough to work again denied support -

That is sad. What is apparent is that he failed his ESA medical but did not appeal. What I fail to understand and I know you could say he was still ill, but why keep on putting in sick notes if that was what stopped him getting JSA? I think this is one of the first on many hundreds leading into the thousands of cases of this type coming up.
