Reports suggest that the Government has not ruled out means-testing PIP and other disability benefits ahead of the Autumn Budget on Thursday, November 17.
Questions were asked of the new Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Mel Stride, and his team in the House of Commons on Monday, Ocober 31. He responded to various queries on the State Pension annual uprating, cost of living support payments, Pension Credit take-up and benefits.
The new boss at the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) gave little away on matters that have not already been made public and expressed a few times how a decision on the State Pension and benefits uprating will not be announced before Chancellor Jeremy Hunt delivers his Autumn Statement to Parliament on November 17.
