The Government’s response to recommendation 14 from the second independent review of the Personal Independence Payment assessment, published on 18 December 2017 (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/personal-independence-payment-pip-assessment-second-independent-review-government-response), sets out the Government’s position in relation to online applications to Personal Independence Payment (PIP). The response made clear that we are committed to test and learn activity following small-scale pilots on applying for PIP online and that we are exploring ways to make better use of data-sharing across all health and disability benefits so as to provide more personalised support and services.
