The DWP will start making significant changes to the way that Personal Independence Payment (PIP) claims are assessed from September
The Department for Work and Pensions is set to introduce significant changes around disability benefit assessments in September. These alterations will affect how Personal Independence Payment claims are evaluated.
New companies are being brought in by the DWP to oversee this process. These changes, part of the Health Transformation Programme, may raise concerns for individuals who have to navigate this stressful procedure, especially as it could soon become more challenging to receive PIP payments in the traditional manner.
PIP consists of two components: a daily living part and a mobility part . Whether you receive one or both parts and the amount you get depends on how challenging you find everyday tasks and getting around, which is determined by the assessment.
