Personal Independence Payment Assessment Review
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, when she plans to publish details on how (a) disabled people and (b) representative organisations can contribute to the Timms Review of the PIP assessment.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
We published the Terms of Reference for the review (the Timms Review) on 30 June 2025, and will be updating them shortly.
As set out in the Terms of Reference, we are committed to co-producing the review with disabled people, the organisations that represent them, experts, clinicians, MPs, and other stakeholders. We will engage widely over the summer to design the process for the work of the review and consider how it can best be co-produced to ensure that expertise from a range of different perspectives is drawn upon.
We will work on how to embed disabled people in the leadership of the group, ensuring that we include those with relevant lived and professional experience. We will also set up arrangements to involve disabled people much more broadly.
