And there is the phrase behind it all, repeated over and over by Cameron.
"Most in need".
They are taking away aid for those "less in need" to give to those "most in need".
But who sets the levels of need? And does that level change?
To get the highest level of PIP Mobility (and therefore the offer of swapping that payment for a basic car) you need 12 points. So that means either....
Can stand and then move more than 1 metre but no more than 20 metres, either aided or unaided.
OR
Cannot, either aided or unaided, – (i) stand; or (ii) move more than 1 metre.
So loads of people have had to hand back their Mobility cars....
