Dla reform and Personal Independence Payment – completing the detailed design

Have we correctly identified that there would be duplication of funding if we continued to pay Personal Independence Payment while someone is in prison or legal detention?

Do you agree that Personal Independence Payment should carry on in payment for 28 days to allow disabled individuals to settle outstanding disability related costs? If not, why not? What alternative period do you think we should consider?

Do you agree that two periods of imprisonment should link if there has been a gap of less than one year? If you disagree that periods of imprisonment should link please tell us why. If you agree that they should link but think it should cover a different period please suggest an alternative period.
