Our very talented Receptionist Andy took some photos – you can see an example of his talent above! Our Volunteer Patty writes about her experience of the Men’s Time Trial: There are big changes planned to the disability benefit Disability Living Allowance (DLA), with a planned change to become a new disability benefit called Personal Independence Payment (PIP).
NHS Richmond and the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames are holding a public consultation on their proposals for adult mental health rehabilitation services in Richmond upon Thames. They would like to know your views on proposals to move away from hospital based rehabilitation services so that more local mental health accommodation can be developed with support from a community rehabilitation team. Richmond AID have completed our response to the DWP proposals for the latest version of the assessment tests for daily living and mobility for Personal Independence Payment (PIP). This is the benefit which is to replace Disability Living Allowance (DLA) starting in April 2013 with new claims in certain areas and then later in the year for existing DLA claimants.
Here’s a message from the organisation Inclusion London:
