1992年对残疾津贴作了重大修改。引入了残疾生活津贴，使护理和行动需求不太严重的人可以获得新的较低的福利。护理津贴（AA）仍然适用于晚年残疾的人，但申请程序正在发生重大变化。本报告介绍了约克大学社会政策研究股为评估这些变化而进行的研究结果。这项研究询问了新的较低的DLA费率是否正在向不太严重的残疾人提供帮助，并评估了向申请福利、要求审查索赔或对决定提出上诉的人提供的服务质量。
Major changes were made to disability benefits in 1992. Disability Living Allowance (DLA) was introduced, making new lower rates of benefit available to people with less severe care and mobility needs. Attendance Allowance (AA) remained for people who became disabled in later life, but substantial changes were being made to the claim process. This report presents the findings of research carried out by the Social Policy Research Unit at York University to evaluate the changes. The research asks whether the new lower rates of DLA are extending help to less severely disabled people, and evaluates the quality of service provided to people who claim the benefits, ask for a review of the claim, or appeal against the decision.
