Torfaen MP tells parliamentary debate
DELAYS in claiming the Government’s new disability benefit have failed Parkinson’s sufferers, causing them stress and anxiety which has made their symptoms worse, an MP has claimed.
Torfaen MP Nick Thomas-Symonds criticised Personal Independence Payments during a parliamentary debate on Wednesday.
The benefits which replace the Disability Living Allowance were introduced as part as wide ranging welfare reforms last year.
