Claimants who applied but did not get a PIP award were purposely included in the evaluation. Consequently the experiences of people with different award outcomes, including those who decided to appeal, are fully reflected in the research findings.

This externally commissioned evaluation is known as the Personal Independent Payment Evaluation. It comprised of three waves of research conducted in 2016-7 and focussed on how PIP processes are working from a claimant perspective.
