Proposal to Replace PIP with ACDP Gains Momentum

At DisabledEntrepreneur.uk, we support the ACDP approach because it is designed by disabled people, for disabled people, and recognises the full reality of daily barriers. We reject any system that forces claimants to “prove” their disability-related costs with receipts or spending controls, as this strips people of dignity and human rights. Disabled people know best how to manage their own lives and finances; what they need is trust, fair support, and recognition of the extra costs they face, not surveillance.

Why Medical Evidence Should Replace Biased PIP Assessments

A letter from your GP, along with copies of your medical history, is crucial for a successful PIP claim. These documents provide solid evidence of your condition, detailing your symptoms, treatments, and how the disability affects your daily life. By presenting medical records, you offer a comprehensive view of your needs, ensuring the decision-making process is based on factual and reliable information. This approach increases the accuracy of your claim and helps prevent any potential discrepancies or delays.
