Personal Independence Payment (PIP) Training This one day training course provides a clear understanding of the new personal independence payment (PIP), due to be introduced in April 2013.
No previous benefits knowledge is required. The training is suitable both for advice workers and for support workers who do not give benefits advice, but who do need a good awareness of the possible effects of the transfer from disability living allowance (DLA) to personal independence payment (PIP) on their clients.

the activities and descriptors (the points system)
how fluctuating conditions, pain and fatigue are treated
the assessment process, including regional variations
how to gather evidence for personal independence payment
the transfer process from disability living allowance to personal independence payment
