Manchester Evening News reporting PIP changes

There used to be a”submit story” function on B&W, but its gone. I know the forum is not the right place to submit this, please pass it onto who ever compiles news stories on the website. The Manchester Evening News is reporting TODAY that:

“ Plans have been laid out to scrap PIP (Personal Independence payments) in the UK.
PIP payments were brought in to replace Disability Living Allowance, and provide financial support to those struggling with physical illness, disabilities or mental health.
However, The Commission on Social Security wants to scrap PIP for a different system, reports the ECHO .
Instead, all adults would get at least £83 .70 a week - with some getting almost three times this.”

These are not actual Government plans porridge.

It is just a proposal by a think tank

gives sensible details and a link to the whole thing. It sounds to me like a version of the Universal or Citizens' Basic Income scheme. That has been fully costed by highly skilled researchers and would save the taxpayer a lot* while improving life for many. * [Because means testing is incredibly expensive] But current governing politicians refuse to consider it because it sounds like 'something for nothing' and some voters don't like that.
Hope this helps but I can't see the DWP taking any notice.
