The Tories under Cameron changed DLA for adults to PIP in the hope that it would reduce or stop payments to disabled people. It hasn't in many cases so now they want to start taking a person's illnesses & disabilities into account again and not just how their conditions affect their ability to carry out tasks.

Been switched to ADP(Adult Disability Payment) in Scotland a while now and had a review last year. Form filled in and sent off. Letter two months later confirming award and then date when reward ends and will be reviewed again. No hassles with interviews and phone meetings etc.
