Iam aware that the Pip is said to be draft at this stage
However as it starts its test roll out early 2013 and then gathers pace: would there realistically be much/any changes?
I am particularly concerned re DLA versus PIP

I know a number of people who have some similarities with a one of condition(s) we share they too get High Mob and are not in wheelchairs.
so
In the Pip ' points one would in that situation(no wheelchair)
not be entitled to the enchanced rate (for mobility/moving)e
thanks again GW apples6
so the 'test' is a higher one ?
Also in that the start is 2013 is it known when and howmuch the rates will b

As it stands, the currently published PIP descriptors, uggest that some level of wheelchair usage will be required in order to gain the higher award of mobility.Dear B&W
