We have consulted and engaged widely, and continue to do so, with disabled people, carers and representative organisations to ensure the claiming process for PIP works smoothly and efficiently for all claimants, regardless of their condition or disability. In addition we have recently undertaken research with a range of PIP claimants examining their experiences of the PIP claims process. The results from this research are being analysed and will be published in due course.
