... :yeahthat:'s seemingly the new name for a State Benefit previously known as Disability Living Allowance.

So ... :anerikke: ... you'd think someone already in receipt of DLA for most of his life would automatically qualify for entitlement - without needing to be reassessed.

:nono-1-1: ... 'fraid NOT! :NoNo:

It has probably cost the country more money to revamp this benefit scheme than was being fraudulently claimed before.

Why rename it at all ....at great expense ? There is nothing to stop them 're-testing' existing claimants anyway, is there ?

Stupid damned governments, wasting taxpayer's money again. They are very good at that... as with their pathetic dysfunctional computer systems.
