The Right Payment Programme
The Rights Payment Programme (RPP) is a new system of checking that your Disability Living Allowance (DLA) claim is correct. It was introduced in May 2007 to replace the Period Review (PR). The RRP takes a sample of 12,000 DLA cases each year (there are 2.5 million people on DLA). Does It Apply To everyone? Under PR, a large proportion of DLA recipients with chronic health/disability problems were exempt from review. Under RPP, you are only exempt if you claim has been looked at in the last 12 months or if you are terminally ill. What Happens With RPP? You will be sent an inquiry form to complete and return by post. This completed form is then considered by a special team of decision makers. If the decision makers consider there has been a change in your entitlement they will change your award. In some cases further information will be obtained before the decision is made. You may be asked to attend a medical examination. Can You Get Help With This Form? Yes. If you live in or attend an HIV Clinic in the City of Lonodn or in the London boroughs of: Barking and Dagenham, Hackney, Havering, Newham, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest, please contact Positive East advice line on 020 7791 2855 if you would like to speak to someone about the forms.
