Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she will make an updated assessment of the potential impact of the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill on the number of people who will lose their entitlement to PIP.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
As I made clear in my statement to the House, Hansard, 1 July, col 219, any changes to PIP eligibility will come after a comprehensive review of the benefit, which I am leading, and which will be co-produced with disabled people, the organisations that represent them, clinicians, experts, MPs and other stakeholders, so a wide range of views and voices are heard. This review aims to ensure that the PIP assessment is fair and fit for the future. The review is expected to conclude in autumn 2026.
