The UK government wants to change the way that many people with a learning disability get their benefits. This will mean replacing Disability Living Allowance (DLA) with a Personal Independence Payment (PIP).

They also plan to bring in universal credit (UC) to replace all means tested benefits, like Employment Support Allowance (ESA), Job Seeker’s Allowance (JSA) and Tax Credits. 

This could mean that many people who now get DLA may miss out in the future.

During this meeting, Mencap Cymru will explain these changes and talk about what this will mean to people with a learning disability and their families in Wales.
