" Concerns have been lifted over the series of people being scored ‘zero’ in comment for incapacity benefits.
To validate for these benefits, people need a measure of at slightest eight.
But in the last 18 months alone, some-more than 220,000 people have scored 0 in both tools of the test – definition they won’t be paid any income under the PIP (Personal Independence Payment) scheme.
Many were formerly receiving advantages under Disability Living Allowance, but when the complement changed found they were denied what they were formerly getting. In some cases, people have lost their mobility vehicles as they are deemed fit to work.
More than 180,000 people who formerly claimed Disability Living Allowance (DLA) have been denied PIP as they have eliminated between the two systems."
