Personal Independence Payment: Tribunals
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps his Department is taking to reduce waiting times for Personal Independent Payment Tribunal response bundles.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
We are increasing resources available for writing appeal responses by redeploying staff and making overtime available.
We are also looking to make appeal writing more efficient by improving the programme that decision makers use. The improved tool will integrate better with other DWP computer systems, which will make it faster and easier to use than the current process.
