Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what plans her Department has to assess the impact of losing PIP to people in employment.

Approximately 17% of current PIP claimants are in employment.

The Office of Budget Responsibility has committed to produce an assessment of the labour market impacts of the proposals in the Pathways to Work Green Paper at the time of the autumn budget.

Information on the impacts of the Pathways to Work Green Paper has been published here ‘Pathways to Work: Reforming Benefits and Support to Get Britain Working Green Paper’(opens in a new tab).

A further programme of analysis to support development of the proposals in the Green Paper will be developed and undertaken in the coming months.
