Anything that rolls must come to a stand at some point. The question is whether it come to a stand (end) gently or catastrophically! Which must also apply to heads?
I’m sure in the old Rightsnet poll, I went for full roll-out being completed in 2045. So time yet….
A new low? 9 years late… 7 years to migrate everyone from IB to ESA; 4 years late. God knows how long it’ll take them to finish the DLA to PIP conversion which is already 4 years late and they never managed to transfer all the Child Dep additions to Tax Credits.
Par for the course I’d say.
Y’know, at this rate I may have to stop believing in DWP’s grand claims of sweeping success.
Chart 3.4 on page 105 is a thing of beauty: compare the confident upward sweep of the DWP’s 2013 assumptions with the later, feeble tendrils stretching hopelessly out with no end in sight…..
... God knows how long it’ll take them to finish the DLA to PIP conversion which is already 4 years late ....
... the OBR suggests a new date…. from today’s Economic Fiscal Forecast: November 2020 -
[ Edited: 25 Nov 2020 at 06:16 pm by shawn mach ]Full PIP rollout delay: the rollout of personal independence payment (PIP) has been delayed by a further two years as a consequence of the pandemic. This follows several previous delays and means migration is now expected to be complete by 2025, nine years behind the original schedule.
