Personal Independence Payment: Reform
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of the proposed changes to Personal Independence Payment on people in the North East.
Answered by Liz Kendall
It is vital that our social security system, including PIP, is sustainable now and into the future.
That is why we are reforming the system, so we protect those who can never work and so that those who can work get the help they need and deserve – including by investing an additional £1 billion in our new Pathways to Work employment programme.
