Means-tested Benefits
(asked on 5th December 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether he plans to introduce means testing for (a) Disability Living Allowance and (b) Personal Independence Payment.
This question was answered on 8th December 2022
We have no plans to means test Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and Personal Independence Payment (PIP).
Both DLA and PIP are intended to act as a contribution towards the extra costs that arise as a result of a long-term health condition, or disability, and have been non-means tested since they were introduced.
