Benefits

How can the benefit system be improved for people with AS?

  • I believe a lot of what you suggest, Easy, it what is supposed to be happening when they bring in the new PIP system.

    Of course when is "what is supposed to be happening" what actually happens when it comes to benefits?

    Another concern I have is with paying for support workers - I'm in the process of writing a support plan to get a personal budget to pay for a couple of personal assistants - but then what happens if I start working?

    I assume the contribution I have to make to the cost of this support will go up, and will make work even less viable than it is already.
