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 reducing the number of PIP claimants on the cost of reasonable adjustments required for disabled employees in the public sector.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

Whether or not an employer makes a reasonable adjustment for an employee, and how much that costs, is independent of the benefit status of an employee, so no assessment has been made.
