The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 28 April 2025 to Question 46071 on Personal Independence Payments: Veterans, when she plans to launch a wider review of the PIP assessment.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

In our Green Paper, Pathways to Work: Reforming Benefits and Support to Get Britain Working, we announced plans to launch a process to review the PIP assessment. 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. Timings for the review have not yet been confirmed. Any changes to the PIP assessment will need to work alongside the reforms set out in the Green Paper and we will provide further details as plans progress.
