The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what her planned timeline is for reviewing her proposed changes to the Personal Independence Payment assessment process.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

In the Pathways to Work Green Paper we announced plans to launch a review of the PIP assessment, which I shall lead.

To make sure we get this right, we will bring together a range of experts, stakeholders and people with lived experience to consider how best to do this and to start the process as part of preparing for a review. We will provide further details about the timing of the review as plans progress.
