Proposed changes to PIP and other benefits

In case anyone would like to read the Government's Green Paper with full details of the proposed changes (rather than relying only on media reports), it can be found here:

Department for Work and Pensions - Pathways to Work: Reforming Benefits and Support to Get Britain Working Green Paper

  • What does this mean for Scotland as PIP is now Adult Disability Payment and is a devolved benefit. The amalgamation of JSA and ESA is reserved so who knows what system Scotland will follow. 2 different assessments?

    Worrying and very very confusing

    Someone in the Commons session did stand up and ask on Scotland's behalf about this, but it was framed in terms of 'will there be consultation/advice...?' which to me implied acknowledgement of near-inevitable alignment, though I could be wrong as I'm not very good at understanding the Westminster lingo.
