Call for evidence - Personal Independence Payment Assessment
Created: 25/07/2016
News/Events Category: General News
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has commissioned Paul Gray to undertake the second Independent Review of how the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessment is working, as required by Section 89 of the Welfare Reform Act 2012.
This call for evidence will be one of several methods used to gather information. Evidence submitted will be used to inform a final independent report which will be laid before Parliament.
Who this call for evidence is aimed at
This call for evidence is aimed at organisations and individuals who have information that is relevant to how the PIP assessment is operating both for new claims and Disability Living Allowance (DLA) reassessment claims. This includes claims made under the Special Rules for terminally ill people.
They are interested in everyone’s views, so please provide as much evidence as you can on the questions asked. They know that people and organisations will have different levels of experience in the PIP process so do not feel you have to answer questions that are not relevant to you, for example where you do not have personal experience.
Purpose of the call for evidence
This call for evidence will be used to inform the Independent Reviewer’s conclusions. The Independent Reviewer will then make recommendations to the Secretary of State, which will be laid before Parliament in the form of a report to which the Government will produce a response.
Scope of the call for evidence
This consultation applies to England, Wales and Scotland.
Duration of the call for evidence
The call for evidence period began on Monday 11 July 2016 and will run until Friday 16 September 2016 at 5.00pm.
