We are talking about PiP...which IS based on need!
If you look at the application form, it I basically a list of criteria for which points are given...It is based on your care and mobility needs.
Perhaps you want it to be means tested? So based on financial need - rather than care/mobility? This would penalise far too many people...someone may work full time but still have PiP...are you suggesting they are means tested and denied their PiP payments? ..this would unfairly discriminate against them.
If the OP is 17 there is a good chance that the original claim was made by their mother...possibly as a DLA (Disability Living Allowance) claim....Presumably the money originally went to the mother who used it for any relevant needs...as the OP is now 17 and living at home, I am wondering why (and to an extent IF) the mother is now giving the whole PiP payment to the OP, basically as pocket money....it would be much better for the mother to keep the money and use it for the extra needs..0 -
This thread should not be allowed to continue as its just bragging and totally unfair to the genuine members on here trying to get pip or transferred from dla to pip.
Also
If he has got that amount in his account from pip why has he left it months before posting about whether he allowed to or not.0 -
oncww rgw OP reaches 18 rgwb xgild benefit and child support will stop and they will need to claim either JSA or ESA as an adult.
then the savings will [revent any payment of these benefits.
do mum will lose money and the OP will have PIP to live on, all the time while mum is wanting help towards the bills.
the OP will have a short sharp shock and normality will resume0 -
nannytone, is there a problem with your keyboard? The last couple of posts have contained loads of gibberish amongst the normally helpful information.0

Nannytone's blind. I think sometimes here fingers aren't properly centred on the keyboard so there's a lot of typos.Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0 -
