As part of the Government's welfare reform agenda, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and the Northern Ireland Social Security Agency (SSA) are introducing a new benefit called the Personal Independence Payment (PIP). Replacing the Disability Living Allowance (DLA), PIP is designed to better reflect today's understanding of disability and is focused on helping with the extra costs disabled people face to lead independent lives. Unlike DLA, where claimants are expected to assess their own eligibility by way of a claim form, the majority of those claiming PIP will have a detailed, face-to-face assessment with an experienced Healthcare Professional. What's in it for you? Becoming a Initial Review Assessor is a great way to extend your professional experience, broaden your field of expertise and develop your career.
