Could I just ask a question, if I may? If it's wrong, as it is, for UK Government to state to a severely disabled person that they have to be reassessed because the benefits have changed, to see whether they qualify for the successor benefit, why is it right in Wales to say to somebody who qualified on the grounds of their severe disability for a benefit that they have to be reassessed? I understand that those who have lost their care and support packages now need to have them reinstated and there has to be a process to be followed, but why can we not say that because they had already qualified for ILF, just like DLA in England, they don't have to go through the process of reapplying, just as they have to with PIP in England?
