Disability Alliance DLA research
As rightsnet users will know, the Government has launched a consultation on DLA for working age disabled people that will rename the benefit Personal Independence Payment and introduce a new assessment from 2013 for all claimants - but with the predetermined aim of cutting the amount of DLA available by 20%.
To inform our response to the consultation, Disability Alliance is also carrying out research on DLA to ensure a thorough investigation of the issues involved aiming to provide an in-depth analysis of DLA use, disabled people’s needs and potential risks in the Government plans.
Our research survey - which is open to disabled people, their carers and advice workers - is available @
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/dlareform
Our survey closes on 10th February 2011.
We would be very grateful if rightsnet users could consider highlighting our survey to clients and/or participating in our research themselves.
Thanks very much in advance to everyone that can help.
