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:

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

Odd that they say 'Pip applies only in England and Wales' as that's definitely what it's called in NI

If you take the link placed by Bunny + search on NI you get this:

This consultation applies to England, Wales and Scotland. All the proposals apply in England. Note that the proposals in the consultation will only apply to the UK Government’s areas of responsibility in England, Wales and Scotland.

Social security and employment support are transferred in Northern Ireland, although the UK Government and the Northern Ireland Executive work closely together to maintain parity between their respective social security systems.
