  • Date lodged: Tuesday, 11 November 2014
  • Motion reference: S4M-11494.2
  • Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Wednesday, 12 November 2014

As an amendment to motion S4M-11494 in the name of Margaret Burgess (Welfare Benefits for People Living with Disabilities), leave out from first “notes” to end and insert "recognises that the replacement of disability living allowance (DLA) with personal independence payment (PIP) will result in the better targeting of support to those in greatest need and that many who have been receiving DLA will now be supported through other benefits to make their way back into employment; acknowledges that significant work remains to be done to remove the backlog of PIP assessments, but believes that, while this transition may be difficult, it has the real potential to deliver positive change and improve lives."
