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:

  • I wonder when a vote in the Commons would happen? I'm not perhaps as across average procedure/timeframe for this stuff as most would be... can a green paper go straight to a vote?

    Green Papers are consultation documents produced by the Government. The aim of this document is to allow people both inside and outside Parliament to  give the department feedback on its policy or legislative proposals.

    Copies of consultation documents such as Green Papers are available on the related departmental websites.



    There's no set time-frame, but the changes outlined today aren't due to come online until Nov 26, 20 months from now.
