    Oh Dear! I'm afraid i wont be able to cheer you up with this one Diana, but hopefully you will be okay.

    Ive had the following in from the Public Sector Executive....




    Half a million people who currently receive disability living allowance (DLA) may be ineligible to get help under the replacement programme, personal independence payments (PIP).

    The changes will help cut the annual cost of such payments by £2.24bn, according to work and pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith, who said far more people have been claiming under the current system than can possibly be explained by illness, sickness or disability.

    Two million claimants will be reassessed in the next four years to ensure the benefit effectively gauges people's capability, and their need for extra support.

    In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Iain Duncan Smith said: "We are creating a new benefit, because the last benefit grew by something like 30% in the past few years.

    "It's been rising well ahead of any other gauge you might make about illness, sickness, disability or for that matter, general trends in society".


    He said a lot more but I think I will stop there.
