Chapter 9 questions – Impact assessmentQ26 What impact could our proposals have on the different equality groups? Q27 What else should we consider when developing our policy? Q28 We have indicated areas we do not have information to consider the impact on protected groups. We would be interested in suggestions on where we can find robust evidence that we can use.

We intend to make revisions to the current draft Regulations, which are subject to a separate consultation exercise, to ensure this outcome. 9 The upper age limit is age 65 or state pension age, whichever is the greater. 10 The Young Person's Panel is a sub group of the IDG and has been established to inform the way in which Personal Independence Payment is delivered for young people aged 16 to 24 and to ensure that PIP is built around their needs through informed user-centred design. 11 The term "habitual residence" is not defined in social security legislation. In deciding whether a person is actually habitually resident, decision makers consider a wide variety of factors. These include reasons for coming to the Great Britain, the length of their stay, future intentions, previous links with the country and, in the case of people returning to the Great Britain, the reasons for their absence. 12 Claiming: www.direct.gov.uk/en/DisabledPeople/FinancialSupport/Introductiontofinancialsupport/DG_174941 Exporting: www.direct.gov.uk/en/DisabledPeople/FinancialSupport/Introductiontofinancialsupport/DG_073387 13 http://www.dwp.gov.uk/docs/a3-2701.pdf 14 http://research.dwp.gov.uk/asd/asd1/adhoc_analysis/2011/analysis_of_disability_living_allowance_DLA_awards.pdf 15 Section 73(8) Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992. 16 Welfare Reform Bill, Commons Committee, 10 May 2011, Hansard, column 794 to 796 – http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201011/cmpublic/welfare/110510/am/110510s01.htm 17 These provisions are to allow for the upper age limit to rise in line with State Pension age once that has been aligned between men and women and begins rising. Changes to state retirement pension brought forward under the Pensions Act 2011 mean that State Pension age will start rising from age 65 to 66 in 2018. Further rises will occur at later dates. 18 http://www.dwp.gov.uk/docs/pip-briefing-high-level-reassessment.pdf 19 Existing DLA awards will be selected randomly by computer.
