The change will see managers in the Jobcentre make more decisions on Personal Independence Payment (PIP) claims
Thousands of Personal Independence Payment recipients could see significant changes after new policy updates. An anticipated overhaul in the PIP assessment process is set to address massive delays faced by claimants.
Sir Stephen Timms, a Labour minister, discussed the forthcoming adjustments during a recent parliamentary debate. He highlighted that the process will be quickened, with case managers poised to "decisions on reviews, avoiding the need for a functional assessment." Presently, approximately 3.4 million individuals benefit from the Personal Independence Payment , which is dispersed monthly at two different rates: standard and enhanced. The standard rate provides £290 every month to those eligible due to disabilities, while the more substantial enhanced rate grants £434 each month to those with more acute conditions.
