Personal Independence Payment
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what recent assessment he has made of trends in the level of waiting time for PIP claim decisions.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
We are committed to ensuring people can access financial support through Personal Independence Payment (PIP) in a timely manner. Reducing customer journey times for PIP claimants is a priority for the Department and we are working constantly to make improvements to our service.
We always aim to make an award decision as quickly as possible, taking into account the need to review all available evidence, including that from the claimant.
