Personal Independence Payment

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she will take steps to increase awareness of PIP.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

DWP has already taken steps to help ensure everyone living with health conditions or a disability is aware of benefits that they can claim, including Personal Independence Payment (PIP). There are no current plans to undertake further activity.

Comprehensive information is available on Gov.uk, which explains who PIP is for and how to claim. This includes a series of videos which provide information on PIP which helps people to understand whether PIP is right for them and to support them through the process if they decide to claim.
