Dougie B, your argument has turned the original posters “monopoly” into a PIP is tax payers money issue and as far as I’m concerned once I receive my PIP it is no longer tax payers money but mine.
Austerity has nothing to do with my entitlement to PIP.
If your employer pays a wage into your bank account when does it cease to be his money and become yours?
If you pay for your groceries are you paying Tescos with your employers money or yours?
The point is when a person receives their PIP money it is theirs and not the tax payer .
