The changes that have been announced on PIP are about changing and reforming and improving what goes to those who most need it in this disability allowance. And the key point about this is that we put a consulation out long before the Christmas period ... And we listened to all those submissions that came back. And, as a result of those submissions, we are not implementing any of the first four options. It is right to continue to recognise aids and appliances and all the activities, as we previously did, but with a change to activities five and six changing the points numbers from two to one. And that brings them into line with activity three ...

And finally activities five and six are less reliable indicators of additional cost.

And this all came on the back of an independent review published just after the last election asking us to look again at the way these indicators are used. We have done that. And in fairness I believe this is the right way to go and will improve the lot of those worse off.
