Personal Independence Payment Assessment Review

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what recent progress the Timms Review of Personal Independence Payment has made on its programme of work.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

The Review has established its themes and launched a Call for Evidence, the first step in a wider programme of engagement. Recognising no single method will capture every perspective, the Review’s steering group has agreed a mix of approaches to engage with and gather evidence from individuals and organisations. A varied approach will ensure the Review is informed by lived experience. An update will be shared later this week.
