Personal Independence Payment
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of her Department's planned changes to Personal Independent Payments on levels of poverty in (a) Yeovil constituency, (b) Somerset and (c) the United Kingdom.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
An assessment of the potential impact of the planned changes to health and disability benefits (including Personal Independence Payment) on levels of poverty is available for Great Britain.
This can be found here: Spring Statement 2025 health and disability benefit reforms – Impacts.
An assessment is not available below Great Britain level. The assessment does not include any impacts from the additional employment support announced in the Green Paper.
