pm | | Re: PIP Contracts (23rd Oct 12 at 3:07pm UTC) | | Disability Rights UK and PIP http://www.disabilityrightsuk.org/disabilityrightsukandpip.htm
We are shocked that anyone could think Disability Rights UK would get involved in any way in delivering PIP assessments. We oppose the cut which will mean 500,000 disabled people are made ineligible for support. (A private competitor has claimed Disability Rights UK is seeking a role in delivering PIP assessments. This is incorrect).
Our only role is to ensure that disabled people have access to the best possible, independent information and advice on our rights, which we hope to provide for free. We are not sub-contracted by Capita. We advised Capita on how to ensure people got good advice on their rights. We are not capturing disabled people’s views or doing anything relating to Capita’s delivery – we recently turned down an invitation to be part of their reference group.
We did have discussions with Capita - but decided we would not work with any PIP contractors other than in our core role as providing rights based information and advice to disabled people. There is no contract. | |
