Plus if PIP assessment to be the gateway to UC health element, will existing PIP recipients be assessed for eligibility to UC on the new 4 point PIP criteria or will thier existing PIP award guarantee access to UC health? It’s a messy panicked fudge. The Bill needs scrapped

(Partial) devolution of social security was always going to be messy. The current and next SG are in an unenviable position of either copy and pasting these regressive changes to PIP to ADP (undermining the point of devolution) or finding money from somewhere to fill an ever increasing funding gap.

- Tightening eligibility to PIP and any associated reduction in spending will result in a reduction to the block grant to the Scottish Gov
- Will the UK gov continue to view ADP as ‘equivalent’ to PIP - providing access to ‘passported’ benefits - if the SG doesn’t mirror the changes to PIP?
