Disability benefits: Ministers revise assessment regulations

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-21287323

Quote:
Regulations governing eligibility for benefits for disabled people will be changed after criticism of their likely impact, the government has announced.
As a result, how - and not just whether - a claimant is able to accomplish tasks like walking and planning journeys will help determine the amount they are entitled to in benefits.
Claimants who manage the tasks, but not "reliably", will get higher payments.
But who is going to be making these judgements?
