Personal Independence (PIP) Training

This one day course provides a clear understanding of the new personal independence payment, introduced in April 2013.

No previous benefits knowledge is required.  The training is suitable both for advice workers and for support workers who do not give benefits advice, but who do need a good awareness of the possible effects of the transfer from disability living allowance (DLA) to PIP on their clients.

Open training is taking place in Bristol, Birmingham, Leeds and London.
